I have a NextJS application and a DRF backend. In the NextJS application, I have a leaderboard page which pulls data from the DRF backend. However, this leaderboard page is updated only once a day. So, what I'm thinking is I want my NextJS to be able to pull the API once (maybe at 3AM), and generate a static site, so the site would load quickly (as there can be up to 1000 visitors at once so I need the website to be fast). Is this possible? Pardon me I'm very new to NextJS.

You can try "Incremental Static Regeneration" with the new feature "On Demand Revalidation" but it is still in beta! Set up a call from your leaderboard page when it is finished to trigger the new generation of the nextjs page.
See the documentation: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration#on-demand-revalidation-beta
