NBA Home-Court Advantage 2017-2026: 11,777 Games

What this is

Every NBA regular-season game across 10 seasons (2016-17 through 2025-26): 11,777 games, with home and away team, final score, scoring margin, venue, and a neutral-site flag. Collected from ESPN's official sports API through the MrBridge ESPN MCP Server. No scraping; the data is public game results from the official feed.

Companion study: NBA Home-Court Advantage: 10 Seasons, 11,777 Games — home advantage fell from 58.5% (2017-19) to 55.4% post-COVID, and the fan-less 2021 season shows how much the crowd matters.
