Welcome

Welcome to my basketball season data analysis. This page presents interactive visualizations and detailed data tables capturing team and player performance throughout the National Basketball Association (NBA) season. You can explore cumulative wins, point differentials, scoring trends, and advanced player metrics such as effective field goal percentage, player efficiency, and assist-to-turnover ratios. The charts and tables highlight team momentum, offensive and defensive balance, and individual contributions, providing a clear picture of which teams and players are excelling across the season.

All data are sourced from Basketball Reference and updated daily during the regular season, allowing you to monitor performance as the year progresses. Whether you’re a fan, analyst, or fantasy basketball player, these visualizations offer an accessible, data-driven perspective on NBA competition. I hope you find these visualizations and data tables helpful in understanding the current NBA season. Thank you for visiting the page.




Executive Summary1

As the NBA regular season nears its conclusion, team performance data from April 5, 2026, reveal distinct tiers of competition and several notable trends. The Oklahoma City Thunder (61 wins), San Antonio Spurs (59 wins), and Detroit Pistons (57 wins) have established themselves as the league’s top teams by win percentage. The Thunder lead the league with a 79% win rate, supported by a median point differential of +11 points per game. The Spurs and Pistons are close behind, posting win percentages of 75% and 73%, respectively. At the other end of the spectrum, five teams have failed to reach 22 wins, with the Washington Wizards holding the league’s lowest win total at 17.

One of the most notable patterns in the recent data is the sustained success of the Detroit Pistons. A team often associated with rebuilding, the Pistons’ 57-21 record is supported by a solid median point differential of +7. The data suggest a balanced contribution from key players, with Jalen Duren ranking first in offensive rebounds per game (3.8) and second in two-point field goals made (7.4), Cade Cunningham ranking tenth in assists (9.9), and Isaiah Stewart tied for first in blocks per game (1.6). This distribution of statistical leaders across different categories could indicate a well-rounded team approach contributing to their high win total, a departure from a model centered on a single, dominant scorer.

In stark contrast, another notable pattern is the recent performance of the New Orleans Pelicans. According to the cumulative win data, the Pelicans have not secured a victory since March 19, 2026. This extended losing streak has cemented their position near the bottom of the league with a 25-53 record and a median point differential of -6.5. Individual player statistics show that the team is not lacking in offensive initiators; Zion Williamson leads the league in two-point attempts (13.0 per game), and Trey Murphy III is tied for first in three-point attempts (8.6 per game). However, this high volume has not translated to wins. The box score data do not provide insight into potential causes for this trend, such as strength of schedule or player injuries, but they confirm a substantial downturn in on-court results.

An analysis of the league’s elite teams reveals different paths to success. While the Pistons show balance, the Thunder and Spurs appear driven by dominant individual players. Oklahoma City’s league-best performance is correlated with an MVP-caliber season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who ranks ninth in scoring (31.6 points per game) and eighth in free throw attempts (9.3). Similarly, the Spurs’ success is anchored by Victor Wembanyama, whose 3.1 blocks per game lead the league by a substantial margin of 1.1 over the next closest player. This suggests that while team balance can be effective, elite individual talent remains a primary component of top-tier contention.

A closer look at the player leaderboards requires careful interpretation, particularly in percentage-based categories. Several players are listed with perfect shooting percentages (1.000) in categories like 2P% and 3P%. This is a common limitation of season-to-date box score analysis, as these figures likely reflect players with a very small number of attempts who have not yet missed a shot. In volume-based statistics, the league’s scoring race is led by Luka Dončić of the Lakers (33.5 points per game), while Nikola Jokić of the Nuggets continues to redefine the center position, leading all players in assists with 10.9 per game. These individual achievements highlight the diverse skill sets of the league’s top performers.



Cumulative Wins

This figure presents cumulative wins by NBA team during the current season. Each panel corresponds to a single team, with the x-axis representing the progression of the season by date and the y-axis showing the total number of wins accumulated to date. This display helps illustrate how quickly teams have been winning games relative to one another and provides a clear view of momentum, slumps, or sustained success over time. Because the plot updates automatically as new data become available, it reflects each team’s current position in the season at the time of the most recent refresh.

Head-to-Head Records

This figure presents a cross-tabulated heat map detailing the head-to-head performance of each NBA team during the current season. Each row corresponds to a specific team, while the columns represent their respective opponents. The intersecting cells contain text displaying the exact win-loss record for that specific matchup. Additionally, the background of each cell is colored according to the head-to-head differential using a diverging color scale, where positive values—indicating a favorable margin—and negative values—indicating an unfavorable margin—are visually distinguished. Teams whose rows feature a higher concentration of blues demonstrate broader dominance across the league. In contrast, rows saturated with reds highlight teams struggling against a variety of opponents. This visualization offers a comprehensive, at-a-glance snapshot of individual matchup advantages, intra-league parity, and overall team competitiveness to date.

Points Scored vs. Points Allowed

This figure plots points scored against points allowed for each NBA team during the current season. Each panel corresponds to a single team, with individual points representing games. Points above the diagonal dashed line indicate games in which the team scored more points than it allowed (wins), while points below the line indicate losses. Points are colored according to game outcome to distinguish between wins and losses. Teams with a larger number of points above the line tend to outscore their opponents more consistently, reflecting stronger overall offensive and defensive performance. The figure provides a visual summary of each team’s scoring efficiency and defensive strength across all games to date.

Point Differentials


Histograms

This figure displays histograms of game-level point differentials for each NBA team during the current season. Each bar represents the number of games with a given scoring margin, using a bin width of five points. Positive differentials correspond to wins, while negative values correspond to losses. Bars are colored according to game outcome, distinguishing victories from defeats. Teams whose histograms are skewed to the right tend to win by larger margins or more frequently, reflecting stronger performance and offensive dominance. In contrast, teams with distributions clustered near zero or skewed to the left tend to play in closer or less favorable contests. This visualization provides a clear snapshot of each team’s competitiveness, consistency, and margin of victory throughout the season.

Player Statistics


Per-Game Stats

This table summarizes individual performance statistics for all NBA players who have appeared in at least 10 games during the current season. It provides a comprehensive overview of offensive and defensive contributions across multiple dimensions of play. Core indicators such as games played (G), games started (GS), and minutes per game (MP) establish each player’s level of participation and role within their team. Scoring efficiency is reflected through field goal (FG%), three-point (3P%), two-point (2P%), and free throw (FT%) percentages, along with related per-game averages for made and attempted shots.

Rebounding and playmaking statistics—offensive rebounds (ORB), defensive rebounds (DRB), total rebounds (TRB), and assists (AST)—capture control of possession and ball distribution, while defensive metrics such as steals (STL) and blocks (BLK) reflect individual defensive impact. Turnovers (TOV) and personal fouls (PF) provide additional context on possession management and defensive discipline. Points per game (PTS) serve as a key summary measure of scoring productivity.

Together, these statistics offer a balanced portrait of player performance across offensive efficiency, defensive activity, and overall on-court effectiveness. Awards and recognitions are included where applicable, highlighting standout achievements during the season.

Note: Table displays rows only for players who played in at least 10 games.
