A good maximum sample size is usually around 10% of the population, as long as this does not exceed 1000. For example, in a population of 5000, 10% would be 500. In a population of 200,000, 10% would be 20,000. This exceeds 1000, so in this case the maximum would be 1000.
Over the course of an 82 game season, 10% is roughly 8 games.
Until they hit the 8 game threshold, strictly statistically speaking, there is no point in looking at any data points.
