    Guys,

    I'm currently building a website to run a fantasy basketball league (partly for fun/learning, and partly to put on my resume) hopefully to be up and running after the All-Star break, and through the playoffs.

    My major problem is finding the raw game data. Obviously I don't have the time to input players' stats every night, so I need a data feed I can use to get these details.

    At the moment the only thing I can find is on Yahoo Sports, and that is cumulative season stats. I can do some jiggering around to capture the daily stats, but it'd be easier if I could find another source of data.

    It's for non-commercial use (no advertisements or charges). Anyone have any ideas? Any format is fine, XML, CSV or whatever. It'll just be a daily cron job to fetch and process the file.

    Thanks.
