A package for scraping data from basketball-reference.com and stats.nba.com to provide opponent-adjusted statistics.

Project description

Defense Adjusted NBA Stats

This is a package that collects data from basketball-reference.com and stats.nba.com and provides endpoints that adjust a player's statistics depending on their opponents defensive strength.

Why adjust stats?

Numbers at face-value don't always tell the full story. For example, if player A scores 30 points on 50% from the field, and player B scores 27 points on 47% from the field, we could come to the conclusion that player A had a better scoring game.

However, what if player B faced one of the best defensive teams in the league, and player A faced a mediocre defensive team? How does that change how we view those performances?

This package attempts to provide a more even playing field with statistics by using the opponent team's defensive to adjust a player scoring and efficiency. For more details about how stats are "adjusted", see the methodology here.

Stats from basketball-reference for this package go back to the 1970-71 season, and stats from nba-stats only go back to the 1996-97 season.
