Prior year data is available

Last year, I produced a data file with daily data for every player in the NBA for the 2015-16 regular season and postseason. DFS points, salaries, and positions are shown for each gameday for FanDuel, DraftKings, Draftday, and Star Fantasy. The file is still available at a cost of $20. For more information, follow this link.

A similar file is available for the 2014-15 regular season. It is available for free. The data elements are a bit more limited, but you'll probably find what you are looking for. Here is the link.

In each case, the file can be easily imported into Excel. Simply copy/paste the data into an excel spreadsheet, then select
Data->Text to columns->Delimited->Other : (colon)->Finish
to parse the data into columns.

I plan to produce a similar file for the upcoming season. It will also be a subscription service, updated daily. The file may not be ready for opening day, but should be available during the first week. Pricing details are not yet finalized, but the file will be free for an initial trial period.
