NBA ref × team matrix
Team W-L when each of 109 referees worked their games (2016-10-25 – 2026-04-12). Cells require 8+ games in this dataset. Not predictions; see methodology.
Last 10 seasons
Ref×team win-loss is from Basketball-Reference; foul, scoring, and ATS/O-U splits may use simulated or estimated data.
Each cell shows that ref's approximate W-L with the team (not the team's overall record). The baseline row under each logo is the team's full sample W-L for coloring only. Cells need 8+ games for ranking colors; thinner samples show a muted record. Empty cells mean zero games together. Text color and a light tint compare ref×team win rate to the team baseline (±2 pts); splits at ±12 pts or more are standout outliers. Delta text and W-L are shown in every cell, not color alone. Click a team logo to rank the top and bottom 10 refs for that team; tap a cell for that ref's profile (including tight-game proxy). Historical splits only, not picks.
Scroll horizontally to compare all NBA teams. Baseline W-L sits under each logo; cell numbers are ref×team splits only.
