NBA Same-Game Parlay Teammate Stat Pair Dataset for Correlation Research

Question this dataset helps answer

Which NBA teammate stat pairs historically move together in same-game parlay research workflows, and what pregame context exists before both players clear common scoring, rebound, assist, or PRA thresholds?

Short answer

This dataset helps sports-betting researchers, NBA analysts, and dashboard builders compare, screen, and investigate teammate stat relationships using pregame rolling form, shared team context, and prior joint-game signals.

What the public preview proves

  • Which teammate pairs, teams, seasons, and game environments are present in the sample
  • Which fields are usable as pre-event pair-history features versus post-event joint outcomes
  • Which rows already support co-hit, pair-correlation, and threshold-screening analysis

Public preview vs full dataset

  • Preview: 10000 rows and 102 columns
  • Full: 1193876 rows and 102 columns

The full dataset includes 1193876 rows across NBA teammate-pair game observations, making it large enough for dashboard analysis, historical filtering, same-game parlay research, and exploratory modeling workflows.

This product is built around a specific buyer problem rather than a generic sports-data export. Plenty of public NBA box scores exist, but buyers who care about same-game parlay research still have to do the expensive part themselves. They need to decide which player pairings belong together, reshape player-game logs into teammate-pair rows, compute prior shared-game history without leaking future outcomes, track which pairs tend to clear thresholds together, and keep that history aligned with shared game context such as spread, total, implied team total, home-away status, and rest. Generic player-game tables do not answer that workflow cleanly. This dataset does.

Each row represents one unordered pair of teammates in one completed NBA regular-season or playoff game from the 2017-18 through 2025-26 seasons. The full file contains 1193876 rows across 102 columns. That row volume matters. It is large enough for league-wide filtering, season-over-season comparison, pair-history dashboards, team-level screening, threshold studies, and time-aware exploratory modeling. Buyers can analyze pairs by team, by season, by player combination, by position combination, by rest bucket, by line context, or by prior joint-game depth without reducing the work to a small toy sample.

The pre-event side of the table is the core commercial value. Every row includes rolling player form for both teammates, such as five-game rolling minutes, points, rebounds, assists, and PRA. It also includes same-game context that both players shared before tip-off: team rest bucket, back-to-back status, compressed-schedule flags, archived closing spread and total context where available, and implied team totals. On top of that, the dataset adds pair-history features that are difficult to build correctly by hand: prior joint games, prior same-season joint games, prior combined points and PRA averages, prior combined minutes averages, prior co-hit rates for common thresholds, and rolling pair-level point and PRA correlation signals based only on earlier joint games.

That pair-history layer is what makes the product different from a normal NBA player-game log. A buyer can filter directly for teammate pairs that already have enough shared-game history to be worth studying. They can compare pairs that often clear 15-plus points together against pairs that produce the same combined scoring volume but distribute it less evenly. They can screen for pairs with stronger recent correlation signals or for pairs that only co-hit in certain team-total ranges, spread ranges, or role configurations. The dataset is positioned as research infrastructure for those questions, not as a recommendation engine.

The post-event side of the table captures what actually happened in the completed game. That includes both players' points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made, PRA totals, combined pair outputs, and joint threshold-hit flags such as whether both players scored at least 15 points, both recorded at least 5 rebounds, or both made at least 1 three-pointer. This is deliberate. The table keeps a clear separation between pre-event features and post-event outcomes so buyers can use it for responsible historical analysis, train-test workflows, and dashboard building without guessing which fields leak future information.

Archived closing spread and total fields are included where the public line archive supports them. The file does not pretend that every season has identical betting-line depth. Instead, it includes has_archived_closing_line_context so analysts can filter into the exact subset where closing-line context is available. That makes the dataset more honest and more useful than a product that hides coverage gaps. Buyers who want only pair-history and team-context analysis can ignore the line columns. Buyers who want to compare co-hit behavior across implied-total bands or spread bands can filter into the supported subset.

Responsible use note

This dataset is for research, analysis, dashboard building, educational use, and exploratory modeling. It does not provide betting advice, picks, guarantees, or predictions of future outcomes. It should not be marketed as a way to guarantee winning parlays, beat sportsbooks, or produce certain returns.

Modeling notes

  • Each row represents one unordered pair of teammates in one completed NBA game.
  • Pre-event features include rolling player form for both teammates, shared rest context, shared line context, and prior joint-game history.
  • Post-event outcomes include both players' recorded box-score lines plus pair-level combined outputs and threshold-hit flags.
  • The coverage window runs from the 2017-18 season through the 2025-26 season.
  • The full dataset contains 1193876 rows, which is large enough for train-test splits by date, by season, by team, or by minimum shared-game depth.
  • A sensible modeling workflow should split by date or season rather than shuffle randomly because the pair-history features are time ordered.
  • The archived line subset is partial, so any workflow that depends on spread or total context should filter on has_archived_closing_line_context.
  • The threshold-hit flags are historical outcomes for analysis, not suggestions for future wagers.
  • The dataset is descriptive infrastructure for pair research, not a finished betting model.

Why the free sample matters

The public sample proves the commercial claim quickly. A buyer can inspect the schema and immediately verify that the file is not just a copied box-score table. They can see stable pair identifiers, player A and player B fields, pair-position combinations, pregame rolling features for both sides of the pair, prior joint-game rates, correlation columns, and actual pair outcomes. They can also check whether the seasons, teams, and stat types they care about are present before paying for the full file. That is what the public sample is supposed to do: prove the buyer task, the row meaning, and the quality of the enrichment.

Source and build notes

The build uses public SportsDataverse NBA player box score and schedule files, then reshapes completed games into teammate-pair observations locally. Pair-history features are computed with time-ordering preserved so prior joint-game counts, averages, rates, and rolling correlations only use earlier games. This avoids a common DIY mistake where analysts accidentally mix future information into historical pair research. The output is a single, analysis-ready table rather than a stack of raw files that still need teammate joins, pair identifiers, and feature engineering.
