I'm not aware of any. That's not to say, it isn't out there somewhere because I haven't looked, since I wouldn't use and trust it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you're coming in to this sport cold? Which is fine. The markets can use all the liquidity help, they can get. Just a word of caution...
Basketball is much more than most dependent on having an understanding beyond the pure numbers, you might get from a "helpful" software or site. It's a streaky sport in terms of scoring, and with the constant flow of "new" players in the game highly influenced by player matchups. As an example a lot of coaches like to sit down a star player or two at the end of the first quarter and especially the third, because it gives them an extended break. I'd venture that most software wouldn't pick up on the difference if one or both teams do this, and the more knowledgeable traders you'd be up against will have picked up on this.

thanks for the reply
it is true i know nothing about trading basketball
just tried a few times to trade on over/under points for some quarters and it look interesting
i d like to give a try to learn how to trade on basketball
where do you recommend me to start learning?
Yea, those screenshots were taken manually. It’s not something I generally do, unless I find them interesting.
Usually, I just take down the SP (starting price) as close to tip-off as possible as a part of my data capture (blue column in screen shot below).
If you ever do come across a way to record in-play charts automatically, I’d be interested to know as well

You could use video capture software and various 'Switch view' rules in Guardian if there were several games, or a better way would be to use Excel to collect the price and volume information and they you can produce any chart or stats you want from it. Both ways have pros and cons but if you think they'll be valuable, then it's down to the £/hr calc about whether it's worth doing.
