Repository files navigation

nba-analytics

Wrangle and analyze NBA statistics and betting information.


Prerequisites

The environment configuration relies on an Anaconda Distribution. For example, I use micromamba on my Apple Silicon device. You should be familiar with the following in order to use this package:

  • git
  • python
  • conda
  • pandas
  • jupyter notebook
  • nba-api
  • odds-api
  • Bonus: requests

Directions

# Clone the repository, ideally via ssh like:
git clone [email protected]:jsehnert101/nba-analytics.git

# Create conda env with required packages
conda env create -f environment.yml

# Activate conda environment
conda activate nba

# Install local packages
pip install -e ./src

# Test environment configuration
python test_environment.py

# Get coding!
# If you're looking for ways to get started, check our example notebooks under docs/examples.

Refer to the notebooks in docs/examples for more information on retrieving and storing data locally, computing advanced statistics, applying machine learning models, and more!

Please read this if you plan on contributing.

This project organization allows us to effectively build out this package over time. All exploratory work should go inside a relevant subfolder within the eda (exploratory data analysis) folder. If no appropriate category for you work exists, create it. Please do not push to the src folder without a code review. If you plan on making substantial changes, create a branch and request approval from Jake Sehnert prior to merge.
