2 years ago Hi,
The .csv files I was using were created from the NBAstuffer.com datasets, both historical and in-season. See here:
https://www.nbastuffer.com/sports-data/
I probably do have the specific file stored locally but I was (i think you can see) updating it daily so the rolling statistics were current. You'd need the in-season datasets from NBAStuffer to use the script as-is. You can get this data for free from NBA.com using the nba_api package https://github.com/swar/nba_api if you want to practice some coding.
The simplest projection system that works pretty well is using a rolling window of about 15-20 games worth of data (rolling sum fantasy points / rolling sum minutes for a rolling window of Fantasy Points Per Minute) and using ~3 games of minutes played (adjusting for Starter/Not Starter) and just multiplying those two numbers. It is hard to beat. Many public projection systems are worse than this method.

Hi Jason This looks great. I do not have any coding skills and was wondering if you have a script to get the "nba_2021_boxscores.csv" or point me on how to get it. Hope that's okay.
Thanks Ol
