How the game could go.
Three sims. Scores, margins, and the bigger picture.
“Shootout” here means the combined score reaches your selected threshold. Going over a sportsbook total is a separate calculation. Compare player outcomes above and below that threshold.
How game simulations work
Each game uses the same inputs and seeds as its published player simulations. Game summaries are checked against those original results. The percentages show how often an outcome occurred in the sim, not a calibrated real-world probability. Alternate injury scenarios are shown separately. Game calls calculated after tipoff are labeled as historical comparisons.
The most common score can occur only a few times, with several scores tied. Use the score range for a broader picture. Player differences in high-scoring games describe patterns within the sim; they do not prove that scoring pace causes a particular result.
