Per-game player matchups

NBA-only. One finished game's player-vs-player matchups (boxscorematchupsv3): rows with the offence and defence player ids and the matchup statistics (playerPoints, matchupMinutes, matchupFieldGoalsMade …). Newest first; filter by game, or by offense / defense player to find the games two players met. Swept by statsapi:game-matchups.

Requires the stats entitlement (a paid plan). See Responses & Errors for the success envelope and availability rules.
