the 2025 NFL season and the 2025-26 NBA season. The reference examples run on

Source
Built by
data-raw/sdv_examples.R.
NFL: the nflverse schedules release, nflreadr::load_schedules(2025), with the standings and
conference ranks from nflseedR::nfl_standings(). NBA: the
sportsdataverse-data team box release, hoopR::load_nba_team_box(2026),
counting standings games only (not the NBA Cup final or the All-Star
games), with divisions and conference ranks from ESPN's standings (the
endpoint hoopR::espn_nba_standings() reads), whose records the script
checks against the box scores. last_season_wins comes from the same
loaders one season back. Team names and ESPN ids come from
sdvplotR's team reference.
