With fantasy football, projections are everywhere. There are countless experts and experts trying to hawk picks for money, internet fame, or both. However, most sites don’t evaluate their projections on a regular basis, or keep historical projections up for prospective customers to evaluate. Thats where I come in.
Using the Tiingo news feed, we can explore which stocks are mentioned in news articles together. This can be an additional technique to identify relationships and correlations between securities. Using the recent case of Apple and Intel, I show how news co-occurences pick up changes.
Yesterday, I saw this video from Rachel Nichols’ The Jump showing some instances where Lonzo Ball was credited with assists that he shouldn’t have been.

A look at the data will help us find out.
To test this, I pulled game logs from the Stattleship API and compared Lonzo Ball’s assists at home games vs away games.
