Map from the exact stored source/namespace key to that provider's identifier for this entity. Keys vary by entity and league. Values are strings, even when the provider ID looks numeric.

Available options: group, quarterfinal, semifinal, final

data.game.cup_groupstring

NBA only. The NBA Cup group as the NBA's season schedule writes it (e.g. East Group A); omitted for knockout and non-cup games, and when the schedule names no group.
