2017-18 Premium Data as of December 20

Starting December 20, 2017, some data will be available only via premium subscription. For details on which data reports and formats are impacted, please click HERE.

Master data file is up

The master data file for the 2017-18 NBA season is now up. After November (exact date TBD), this will become a premium subscription file. But during November, everyone can access it for free.

The general link is rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/nba-dhd-2018.pl. That link also appears in the "Other Tools" menu above. Usage notes are in rotoguru1.com/hoop/nba-dhd-2018-notes.txt.

Comparable master files for prior seasons are available for a fee:
Game-by-game details for the 2016-17 regular and post-season is available for a one-time fee of $25. Similar data for the the 2015-16 regular and post-season is available for $20.

Waking up the sleeping beast

With the NBA season starting soon, the various DHD/RotoGuru NBA tools are coming back to life. Here are some of the reports that have been activated so far:

• Sortable stats: If you select the option for the last 30 days, you’ll get preseason stats. (Defaulting to "Full Season" gets you only regular season stats, which are all zero right now.) Season-opening DFS salaries are provided for FanDuel, DraftKings, and Yahoo. (Preseason salaries are not provided.) If a player salary has not yet been listed at a DFS site, then that player will be shown with a position of X and a salary of $0. If you click on any linked player name, you’ll get some preseason game details.
• Daily fantasy points: Since I’m not tracking preseason salary data (if any even exists), all players show up as unlisted and unsalaried. But you can at least see some of the statistical parameters. And if you elect to sort by game, you’ll get results organized more-or-less in boxscore order.

The master file for the coming season is not yet available, and will not include preseason data. That file will be created once the regular season begins, and will be free for the first month or so.

Master files for prior seasons are still available for a fee:
Game-by-game details for the 2016-17 regular and post-season is available for a one-time fee of $25. Similar data for the the 2015-16 regular and post-season is available for $20.

If you notice any apparent glitches, please let me know (davehall@rotoguru2.com). In particular, preseason data is tricky in that some non-NBA teams are involved, so that does create some data anomalies that will not be present during the regular season. Nevertheless, I hope to have most of the relevant updated and available.

Data at a premium
