Here are the shot tendencies for Derrick White and Payton Pritchard on the Boston Celtics. How important is it for the heatmap to look like this for your key role players? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Celtics

The top scorers on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, both get to the rim and fire 3s. I think people don't realize how many 3s this pair shoots. What's the ceiling for this duo? #NBA #Basketball #NABSky #TWolves

How fascinating is this? Here's how teams do in close games. Interestingly, the OKC Thunder have been the NBA's worst team in ultra-close games. The Wizards and Trailblazers hold the second and third spots, respectively. #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

Domantas Sabonis doesn't shoot often in the clutch, but he also doesn't miss often. Should the Kings feature him more prominently down the stretch? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Kings

Yesterday, we looked at Tyler Herro's clutch time woes. Today we will look at Jalen Brunson's heroics. The Knicks are in close games often, and they usually go to Brunson iso ball. He delivers the big shot often and could win Clutch Player of the Year. #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Knicks

We often use teams' overall record, but record vs strong teams becomes more important as we gear up for the playoffs. Here, we have overall record compared to records vs good, then great teams. Which teams crumble and which rise to the occasion against steep opposition? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

The Miami Heat lead the NBA in blowing double-digit leads. Their top scorer, Tyler Herro, has attempted the most shots in clutch time. He has the worst clutch FG% of any player with at least 50 attempts. Why do the Spoelstra and the Heat continue to play Herro ball? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Heat

Here's another update on where each team stand in their offensive and defensive ratings. What stands out to you? For me, it's that the Los Angeles Lakers aren't too good at either, but have been on a tear! #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

The Indiana Pacers play the Milwaukee Bucks tonight on TNT/Max! It's the #4 (IND) and #5 (MIL) seeds, so it could be a preview for the first round of the playoffs. Who wins the matchup between star power forwards, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Pascal Siakam? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Pacers #Bucks

Assists and turnovers correlate very strongly. Jokic, Haliburton, and Paul stand out as some of the league's best passers who don't turn it over often. What do you notice? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

The self-proclaimed best shooting big man of all time had a different game when he came into the league. Karl-Anthony Towns has been criticized for his shot selection in the past. He now shoots a high volume of 3s while also driving often. What should his game be? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Knicks

Despite Jimmy Butler's efficiency from range, the Golden State Warriors have gotten a big boost from acquiring him. What does he bring that they've been lacking the past few years? And how does he pair with Steph Curry? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Warriors

The Phoenix Suns have been flat out disappointing this year despite the strong dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Is there something fundamentally flawed with the pairing or is there another issue? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #Suns

Here's an update on the league leaders in some defensive stats. Defensive stats aren't a perfect measure of defensive strength, but they can tell you part of the story. What stands out to you? For me, it's that Wemby and Dyson Daniels have been true outliers this year. #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

Some accuse the NBA's biggest stars of getting preferential treatment from the refs. Here is how players' scoring lines up with their free throw abilities. Do good players get more calls? Are they good because they know how to get to the line? Is it a combination? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

Steph Curry has always been a 3-point killer, but his shot selection has dramatically changed since his rookie year. Most notably, he often shot the 14–18-foot jump shot. Now, he is more likely to shoot the 26-28-foot shot. What do you notice? #NBA #Basketball #Warriors #NBASky

The Toronto Raptors have been bad, but they could try to compete next year with newly added Brandon Ingram. It's an interesting collection of talent. The offense largely features Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett. Are they efficient enough where it matters to compete? #NBA #Basketball #Raptors #NBASky

The Clippers have been a team that "when healthy" has been dangerous over the past 5 years. Is this iteration of the team dangerous "when healthy"? Here are the shot tendencies of Kawhi Leonard and James Harden for reference on their offensive fit. #NBA #Basketball #Clippers #NBASky

The reigning champs and #2 seed team in the East, Boston Celtics, have had a consistent dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Both light it up from all over the court, but not so efficiently. How do they make up for this to win so many games? #NBA #Basketball #Celtics #NBASky

Let's check in again on where each team lies on offense and defense. The Oklahoma City Thunder remains the top defense and the Cleveland Cavaliers widen their gap for the #1 offense. What else is notable? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky #SkyHoops

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been the NBA's top team. They have the #1 defense paired with a pair of young stars who can score the ball. They both are efficient from midrange, but not as much behind the arc. What does this tell you? #NBA #Basketball #OKC #NBASky #SkyHoops

The Houston Rockets are a much stronger defensive team than offensive. What does their offense need to begin to compete to win the West? #NBA #Basketball #Rockets #NBASky #SkyHoops

The #1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers take on the #3 seed New York Knicks tonight on ESPN! It's a matchup that the Knicks have dominated in the playoffs recently. It also features 2 of the premier point guards in the NBA. Who do you think wins this one? #NBA #Basketball #Cavs #Knicks #NBASky #SkyHoops
