DATA COVERAGECompleteness not verified

61 regular-season games this season are a separate scope, never averaged in. Series results and records count playoff finals more than 6 hours old; fresher finals are listed as provisional. A round is named only when the game id gives it; otherwise the game reads Playoffs. Sport Data Service does not hold NBA play-in games, so none is listed here or counted anywhere. NBA logs list games played only: games missed are absent rather than marked DNP. Missing values read —, never zero. Shooting percentages pool makes and attempts across games.
