# Hoops Menu

> Hoops Menu is a daily basketball schedule guide: what's worth watching tonight, live scores, standings, and how to watch — across the NBA, WNBA, G League, and the summer leagues (Las Vegas, California Classic, Utah). It also publishes a schedule-fatigue dataset — miles traveled, time-zone shifts, rest days, and back-to-back density per team — that few other sites track, including for the WNBA.

Pages are fully server-rendered HTML; no JavaScript is required to read scores, standings, or travel data. See "Data access" below for machine-readable formats.
