Data & calculation details

ESPN final box scores, current rosters and schedule. DNPs are excluded. Auto uses current regular-season appearances first, fills remaining places with current preseason, and uses previous regular-season games only when needed. After 10 current regular-season appearances, no preseason remains in a last-10 window. Venue filtering applies before the window. Historical logs can include a previous club; every row identifies the team.

Estimated usage = (FGA + 0.44 × FTA + turnovers) × team minutes ÷ 5, divided by player minutes × team possessions used. This box-score estimate is not official tracking usage. Possessions use FGA + 0.44 × FTA − offensive rebounds + turnovers. Game possession estimates are unadjusted for overtime and are labeled accordingly. Shooting percentages use summed makes ÷ summed attempts. No unverified starter prediction is supplied. Player prop lines and prices come from PropLine (prop-line.com), refreshed about every 30 minutes.
