NBA / NHL Depth Charts & Stats Allowed by Position

11/30/2016

0 Comments

 
We're excited to announce that we've launched depth charts for NBA and NHL!

In the Player Details feeds, you'll find two new fields that indicate the player's standing on their team's depth chart. The data in these fields is pretty intuitive and self-explanatory. However, if you have questions, our support team is standing by to help.

  • DepthChartPosition
  • DepthChartOrder

We also launched a new pair of APIs that provide opponent stats allowed by position. This would be especially useful for NBA, where some teams defend Point Guards rather well, but tend to allow more fantasy points to Centers & Power Forwards (as an example). The two new APIs are itemized below for your convenience.

  • NBA Team Stats Allowed by Position
  • NHL Team Stats Allowed by Position

Our support team is available if you need assistance with these new features, or anything else.

Regards,
FantasyData Support

Happy Friday!

We launched some advanced statistics in our NBA API.

In particular, we are now publishing the stats below, at the player game and player season levels. Player efficiency rating uses linear weights and is based on the formula published on BleacherReport by Zach Fein. All of the other stats listed below follow the formulas published on BasketballReference.com.
