Data Sources

• October 30, 2007 to January 16, 2023: Sportsbook Reviews Online
• Since January 17, 2023: ESPN

I scraped SportsbookReviewsOnline.com and fixed a few errors. They seem to have stopped updating the page so all future data will come from ESPN.

Notes

Seattle moved to Oklahoma City beginning in the 2008-09 season. I encode them as okc for consistency.

New Jersey moved to Brooklyn beginning in the 2012-13 season. I encode them as bkn for consistency.

2H and Moneyline odds are absent from the ESPN data (since Jan 2023). Note that ESPN uses non-integer values exclusively so there are no pushes.
