Player Research

The Player Research page is the deepest analysis view in NBA Prop Lab. It brings together everything the engine knows about a player into a single scrollable page with six sections.

Note

The app interface is in Spanish. This guide references the actual labels you will see.

Accessing Player Research

Navigate to a player’s research page by clicking any player name on the dashboard or by using the search bar at the top of the screen. The URL follows the pattern /research/player/{id}.

A sticky table of contents on the left side lets you jump between the six sections: “Context” (Contexto), “Picks” (Picks), “Teammates” (Compañeros), “Filters” (Filtros), “Props” (Props), and “Logs” (Logs).

Game Context

The “Game Context” (Contexto) section at the top of the page shows the player’s upcoming game environment. Each element provides situational context that the scoring engine already factors into its analysis:

• Matchup — team vs opponent with logos (e.g., LAL vs BOS)
• Spread — point spread for the game, indicating blowout risk. Large spreads may reduce playing time for starters.
• Total — over/under total points for the game. High totals suggest a faster-paced game with more scoring opportunities.
• Pace — expected possessions per game for this matchup
• Back-to-back badge — a “B2B” tag appears if the player is on the second game of consecutive days
• Playoff badge — appears during postseason games

Tip

A large spread (e.g., -12.5) signals potential blowout risk. The engine already factors this into the Game Context block score, but you can use it to make your own judgment call.

Model Picks

The “Model Picks” (Picks) section shows the engine’s analysis results for this player. Picks are displayed as a grid of pick cards, each showing:

• Direction — Over or Under
• Line — the prop line value
• Score — 0-100 engine score
• Rating emoji — visual indicator matching PREMIUM or STANDARD tier

This is the same data as the main dashboard pick cards but filtered to one player. See Pick Cards for a detailed breakdown of each element.

Teammates

The “Teammates” (Compañeros) section shows how the player’s stats change when key teammates are in or out of the lineup. Comparison cards are displayed for:

Stat	Description
Points	Scoring average with/without teammate
Rebounds	Rebounding average with/without teammate
Assists	Assist average with/without teammate
Triples	Three-point makes with/without teammate

Each card shows the difference — a positive number in green means the player does better without that teammate; a negative number in red means worse. The label format is “without [teammate]” (sin [compañero]).

Note

The display reads “sin [player name]” — meaning “without” that player. A green positive difference means the researched player historically performs better when that teammate is absent.

Situational Filters

The “Situational Filters” (Filtros) section provides toggle filters that let you view the player’s stats in specific situations:

• Home / Away — performance split by home and away games
• Regular / Playoffs — performance split by season phase
• Back-to-back — performance on second nights of back-to-backs
• Window tabs — L5, L10, L15, L20, All (last 5/10/15/20 games or full season)

Use these filters to spot situational strengths or weaknesses not immediately visible in season averages.

Props of the Day

The “Props of the Day” (Props del dia) section shows today’s available prop lines for this player, grouped by stat type. Each prop entry displays:

• Line — the consensus line value
• Line movement indicator — arrow showing if the line moved up or down from opening
• Hit rates — percentage of games the player went over the line in L5, L10, L15, and Season windows

For a deeper dive into the props section including sportsbook odds and the preference selector, see Props.

Game Logs

The “Game Logs” (Ultimos 15 partidos) section is a table of the player’s last 15 games with the following columns:

Column	Description
Date	Game date
Opp	Opponent team abbreviation
MIN	Minutes played
PTS	Points scored
REB	Total rebounds
AST	Assists
3PM	Three-pointers made
STL	Steals
BLK	Blocks
PRA	Points + Rebounds + Assists combined

Tip

The game log is invaluable for spotting recent trends. If you see a player’s minutes dropping over the last 3-4 games, that is a red flag even if season averages look strong.

Private Notes

You can add personal notes to any player research page. These are saved to your account and visible only to you. Use them to track your own observations, injury updates, or situational context the engine might not capture.
