Games Available denotes the number of games for which that statistic is available for every player who played in the game.
For a specific game, some stats may be partially available, and complete data may be available for some players but not others.
Incomplete season totals are displayed in blue.
Known deviations from Basketball-Reference.com are displayed in red with their "official" total in ().

Note: BOXTOP matches NBA.com game logs and/or Basketball-Reference box scores for all discrepancies. ... The Celtics season total of 7915 points may be correct. NBA.com game logs show point totals for each game that add up to 7916 - but this includes a likely incorrect 116 points on 12/22/1957 at Cincinnati. Both the Boston Globe and Basketball-Reference.com show the score of that game as 115-98, the sum of the Celtics scores in the Basketball-Reference.com team game logs is 7915, and the linescore and individual player statistics for the 12/22 game universally support the 115 point total. And the season total of FGM shown in the NBA.com game logs is 3005, the same as in BOXTOP. Yet the individual player point totals, FGM, and FTM listed on Basketball-Reference.com do correctly add up to 7916 for the season, and match the statistics listed in the 1962-63 Sporting News NBA Guide.
