Week 1 NBA Stock Market Snapshot

This inaugural week focuses on five standout conviction plays, plus the traders and players driving the biggest shifts in the CourtShare NBA stock market.

Before we get into the numbers, a few traders deserve some shine for calling the board early.

@JSuttHoops – Trae buy-the-dip thesis

Equity curve for @JSuttHoops Trae Young position

“People overreacting to contract + injuries. It’s Trae…”
Backing that conviction with a long 100-share position at an average 1.12, this take is up to 1.24 for roughly +10.8%. A simple bet that usage + talent will win out, and so far the market is agreeing.

@bvb – Planting the flag on Tyrese Maxey

Equity curve for @bvb Tyrese Maxey position

“Tyrese Maxey is the truth…” and the thesis is that Philly pivots around him and their young core while the vets age out. Entry at 1.12, now trading around 1.35 for about +20.6%. That’s a big early win on a “future of the franchise” read, not just a box-score pop.

Trader #187 – Zion belief stock

Equity curve for Trader #187 Zion position

“never give up never what.” Short and chaotic, but the position matches the vibes: long 20 Zion at 1.11, now about 1.29 for +16.1%. Betting on health plus force-of-nature talent has paid in this first stretch.

@Mist – Early on Anthony Black as an all-around guard

Equity curves for @Mist and Trader #224 positions

“Improved shooter every season… this is an all-star in 3 years.”
Long 123 at 0.90, currently near 1.00 for roughly +11.4%. It’s a medium-sized conviction play that the stat profile and role will grow faster than the market expects.

Trader #224 – Waiting patiently on Cameron Johnson

“Will be a very useful piece in the second half of the season and Playoff time. Buying now and waiting…”
Long 20 at 1.00, now around 1.15 for +15.0%. Classic “quiet winning role player” thesis: not a star name, but a bet on playoff rotation value and shooting holding up.

These are the kind of takes that set the tone for Week 1: not just chasing heat, but making real basketball arguments and backing them with size.

TL;DR

  • Top traders and biggest moves this week.
  • Price winners/losers plus fair value angles.
  • Biggest fair value risers and fallers to watch.
