Your portfolio
The home page tracks your account like a brokerage app: total portfolio value over time, each position with its gain or loss, your recent trades, and a "top of the day" card for the player who had the best game last night.
A fantasy stock market where every NBA player is a stock. You start with $100,000 in virtual cash, buy and sell shares of players, and their prices move every night based on how they actually played.

The pricing engine is designed to reward consistency over one-off explosions. It works in three steps:
PTS + 1.2×REB + 1.5×AST + 3×STL + 3×BLK − TOV.A Vercel cron job runs every morning. It scrapes the previous night's box scores from ESPN, stores each player's game log, and reprices every active player. Historical prices were seeded from a CSV of every game log since the 1996–97 season.
Each player has a price chart, season and career stats, and a buy button. The "Get AI Trend Analysis" button sends the player's recent game-by-game prices and stats to Claude, which writes a two-to-three sentence read on where the stock is heading and why.
The Players page lets you search and filter every player by team and price, then chart up to eight of them against each other across 1-month to all-time ranges.
Add friends by email to see their overall gain or loss and every position they hold, which turns the game into a running competition.
NBA Stocks also ships as a command-line app. Running npx nbastocks logs you in and opens an
interactive prompt where you can quote a player by ticker, buy and sell shares, and check your positions
and balance. It talks to the same backend through a separate set of token-authenticated API routes.
