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 statistics agree with NBA.com game logs except for Tom Sanders. It is possible that Sanders was retroactively given credit for a Boston field goal accidently scored by Dolph Schayes on 10/27/1962, or perhaps there was simply a mistake at some point. In any case, the Celtics team totals for (FGM * 2) + FTM should NOT equal their season point total of 9504, which indicates that the BOXTOP data may be correct.
