Deep scout

Scouting snapshot

Bad defense, bad shooting, gambling hands, and just enough individual scoring to be annoying if you get lazy.

Win script

They force turnovers, Heinle/Adler make enough jumpers, and Blount gets to live in the paint.

Red flag

Almost everything else.

Best matchup targets

Interior scoring, anti-gamble discipline, forcing Gernhart to matter as a scorer, making McMahon and Blount defend pace.

How to break Bullets

Play clean, punish the gamble, run them, and do not let Blount turn the game into a paint grind.

Matchup card preview
