Buckets

Buckets is a daily basketball stat battle where you face off against the CPU by choosing player stats in head-to-head matchups, racing to outscore your opponent before the game clock hits zero.

You get a random NBA or WNBA player card each round. Pick one stat category (points, rebounds, assists, three-point percentage, and more). The CPU reveals their player's stat in that same category. Higher number wins. Each victory adds points to your score, and the clock ticks down after every round until time expires.

• Choose a stat from your player card to challenge the CPU.
• The higher stat in that category wins the round.
• Different stats award different points (3-pointers are worth 3, free throws worth 1, most others worth 2).
• The game clock decreases after each round (default: 1 minute per round).
• When time runs out, the highest score wins.
• Green highlights show who won the round, yellow means a tie, red means you lost.

The CPU adapts to the score. If you're ahead, you'll face tougher opponents. Fall behind, and you'll get easier matchups. Every round deals fresh cards, so momentum can shift fast.

Why we like it:

• ✅Combines trivia knowledge with strategic decision making in every round.
• ✅Adjustable difficulty keeps it competitive no matter how well you're doing.
• ✅Works for both NBA and WNBA fans with real current season stats.

Hint: When you're ahead and the CPU starts throwing All-Stars at you, lean on percentage stats like field goal or free throw percentage. Role players can compete there even against superstars.
