League desk endpoints for standings, leaders, lineups, synergy, and matchups

League Stats Endpoints

Eight endpoints stock the league desk with season-wide views.

Primary route: Most work on this page starts from season, then narrows with endpoint-specific leaderboard, lineup, matchup, or play-type filters.

Pair these feeds with Team Stats for club detail or Box Scores when you need to drill into a single matchup.

Route cues

  • Start with dashboards when you want broad filtering and ranking flexibility.
  • Use LeagueLeaders when you already know the stat category and just want the board.
  • Reach for Synergy, lineups, or season matchups only when the question is about play context, units, or defensive pairings rather than standard standings/leaders.
