The document provides instructions for a basketball data analysis lab assignment. It asks students to: 1) Identify the team and position of the player with the highest points per game average. 2) Report the number of games this player played. 3) Identify the player with the highest assists per game average. 4) Report the number of players scoring over 25 points per game. 5) Generate a correlation matrix and identify the three variables most strongly correlated. Students are required to show their code and outputs for each question and submit their lab report as a PDF file before the next lab session.

BDA Lab 3: Performing Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)


*Using the dataset scrapped from:
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023_per_game.html

Your Name: Wan Muhammad Iman Bin Wan Md Nazan


Matric No: 20000692

Task Lab: Answer the following questions. Provide your answer, code, and output screen for each
question.

1. Which team does the player who score the most points per game (PTS) comes from? (1M)

Your answer: PHI

imported_df[(imported_df.PTS == imported_df.PTS.max())]
result = imported_df.loc[imported_df['PTS'] ==
imported_df['PTS'].max(), ['Player', 'PTS', 'Tm']]
print(result)

2. Which position is the player playing as? (1M)

Your answer: C

imported_df[(imported_df.PTS == imported_df.PTS.max())]
result_2 = imported_df.loc[imported_df['PTS'] ==
imported_df['PTS'].max(), ['Player', 'Pos', 'PTS', 'Tm']]
print(result_2)

3. How many games did the player played in the season? (2M)

Your answer: 66

imported_df[(imported_df.PTS == imported_df.PTS.max())]
result_3 = imported_df.loc[imported_df['PTS'] ==
imported_df['PTS'].max(), ['Player', 'Pos', 'PTS', 'Tm', 'G']]
print(result_3)

4. Which player had the highest Assists Per Game? (2M)

Your answer: James Harden


By Dr Norshakirah Ab Aziz

imported_df[(imported_df.AST == imported_df.AST.max())]
result_4 = imported_df.loc[imported_df['AST'] ==
imported_df['AST'].max(), ['Player', 'AST']]
print(result_4)

5. How many players do score more than 25 points per game? (2M)

Your answer: 24 Players

total_players_over_25_pts = len(imported_df[imported_df['PTS'] > 25])


print("Total players with more than 25 points:",
total_players_over_25_pts)

6. Create a correlation matrix/heatmap. Then, explain which 3 variables have the highest
correlation to each other? (2M)

Your answer:

sns.heatmap(corr)
By Dr Norshakirah Ab Aziz

The 3 variables with the highest correlation to each other are:

• FG% (Field Goal Percentage) and 2P% (2-Point Field Goal Percentage) with a correlation
of 0.8. This means that these two variables are very strongly positively correlated, indicating
that as a player's 2-point field goal percentage increases, their overall field goal percentage
also tends to increase.

• FG% and eFG% (Effective Field Goal Percentage) with a correlation of 0.6. This is also a
positive correlation, but not quite as strong as the correlation between FG% and 2P%. It
means that there is a positive relationship between a player's overall field goal percentage
and their effective field goal percentage, which takes into account the fact that 3-point shots
are worth more points than 2-point shots.

• 2P% and eFG% with a correlation of 0.54. This is another positive correlation, but slightly
weaker than the correlation between FG% and eFG%. It indicates that there is a positive
relationship between a player's 2-point field goal percentage and their effective field goal
percentage.
