12:00 pm - Rockets @ Heat
Another monumental game for the standings features the Rockets and Heat, both of whom enter the game with a 5-5 record. The Rockets have been a bit of an enigma this season, as they are 5-2 in the games they have played, but they also have three forfeits as well. This has opened the door for three other teams to possibly earn the #4 seed, as the Rockets can at best finish in the #5 spot after Sunday's action. The Rockets have been led by Antonio Marshall, who has been the best player in the K1 League, hands down. He is averaging 30.9 ppg, and is doing so with a 59.2% from the field. Marshall needs to score 24 points or more on Sunday to maintain an average of 30.0 ppg or greater, something no K1 player has ever achieved. The Rockets will be without Harry Marshall for sure, and past that, little to nothing is known about who they will have. Alex Thorson has provided huge minutes for the team this season, as his 4.3 apg are good for third in the K1 League. Hunter Jacobs (9.3 ppg and 6.0 rpg) has been a constant presence on the interior, and Ivan Glenn (7.4 ppg) has provided some great athleticism around the perimeter as well. If there is one thing the Heat are known for, it's their athleticism as well. No team possesses the overall speed and skill that their entire roster possesses. That should make for a fun matchup against Marshall and his Rockets team. The Heat have picked up some huge wins in recent weeks, knocking off the Pistons by three points in Week 7, before defeating the Celtics and Suns in Weeks 9 and 10. The Heat will look to finish the season with four wins in five tries, and could jump all the way as high as the #4 seed if everything fell their way. More than likely they would be the #5 seed or #6 seed with a win, but could still fall as low as the #9 seed if they were to lose. Terrell Hendrix is coming off a sensational performance against the Suns, in which he had 39 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and five steals. Hendrix is averaging 21.7 ppg, good for fifth in the K1 League. Lamarius Lillard (11.0 ppg) and CJ Link (10.8 ppg) have been great second and third options, but both players have been trending in the wrong direction in recent weeks. For the Heat to pull off their third straight win, they will need to contain Marshall at all costs, and force the Rockets to turn the ball over. It won't be easy though, as the Rockets play at one of the slowest paces in the entire K1 League, and like to have the ball in Marshall's hands in clutch situations.

1:00 pm - Lakers @ Celtics
Week 11 sees a classic NBA rivalry, as the Lakers and Celtics clash for the first time since Week 1 of the Spring 2022 League. While no NBA franchise has more than the 17 titles that the Lakers and Celtics both hold, the K1 version of these two teams is a bit opposite. The Lakers enter the game with a record of 7-3, and will be either the #2 or #3 seed, depending on what the Spurs do against the Nets in the 5 pm game. The Celtics meanwhile, are locked into the #12 seed, and will begin their playoff journey on November 13th against the #5 seed. While the Celtics' path to the final four will be challenging - likely needing to beat four of the top five seeds - they do have some positives to draw on, something that most #12 seeds are unable to say. Despite holding just one win on the season, the Celtics have been a different team in the second half of the season. The Celtics were up on the Suns at halftime in Week 7, before knocking off the Bucks in Week 8. The C's hung around with the Heat in Week 9, before falling on a last-second three-pointer from Tyree Mosley in Week 10. Antonio Phillips is not only averaging 17.0 ppg, but he is also averaging 11.1 rpg, as his 100 total rebounds leads the K1 League. Jonathan Townsend is averaging 11.6 ppg, and Aaron Carr has scored 44 points (11.0 ppg) in his past four games. If Josh Washington can build off his performance against the Heat in Week 9 (20 points and 7 rebounds), the Celtics may have an outside chance at pulling off the upset. The biggest hurdle for them will be the superior guard play of the Lakers, who have as much depth at that position as anyone. Even without LJ Harris and Brian Hernandez in the lineup this past week, Andre Robertson Jr and Kawani Blackman each scored 20 points, and Tone Brooks had 13 points. LJ Harris should be back on the court soon, as he continues to recover from a wrist injury. Harris has been one of the top players in the K1 League this season, averaging 18.2 ppg. Brian Hernandez has only played in two games, but he provides huge minutes, in both his ability to shoot and be a leader on the court. In the hunt for the #2 seed, the Lakers will look to do their part with a win over the Celtics. They will then sit back and hope the Nets take down the Spurs in Game 66.

2:00 pm - Pistons @ Bucks
Both the Pistons and Bucks enter this game with identical records of 3-7. The loser will be the #11 seed, while the winner is at worst the #10 seed. The Bucks could potentially get up to the #9 seed if they were to win, and the Bulls lose against the Grizzlies. One big storyline in this game is that of Khapri Alston, the big man for the Pistons, who was recently drafted into the Indonesian Basketball League in the second round. Alston has an outside chance of playing with the team in the playoffs, but it all depends on his travel schedule with Elang Pacific Caesar, who took him with the 25th pick in the second round. Whether they have Alston or not, the Pistons know they will have the talented Mark Conner, who is averaging 27.0 ppg, good for second in the scoring race. The Bucks will counter with Billy Baptist, who is now third in the scoring race, averaging 22.8 ppg. These two talented scorers will look to lead their teams to a fourth win, and pick up some momentum before the playoffs. While both teams have been fairly inconsistent over the course of the season, they both can take some positives from their recent action. The Pistons beat the Grizzlies back in Week 7, after blowing a last second lead against the Heat in Week 8. The Pistons had a solid first half in Week 9 against the Warriors, and then won via forfeit against the Rockets in Week 10. For the Bucks, they also defeated the Grizzlies, back in Week 7. Two tough losses to the Celtics and Nets followed, before nearly upsetting the defending champion Spurs, failing to hold onto a lead in the final minute of the game. While the path to the title for both teams will be tough, based on their projected seeds, both teams have shown the ability to use their size to hang with some of the best teams in the K1 League.

3:00 pm - Warriors @ Suns
While just about every game could be the game of the week in Week 11, this nod goes to the Warriors and Suns, as both teams have a very real shot at the #4 seed, and the final first round bye. The scenarios are fairly simple in this one for both teams. For the Warriors, who are 6-4, win and they will be the #4 seed. They could also get to the #3 seed if they win, and the Spurs lose to the Nets in the final game of the day. For the Suns, their path has been anything but predictable this season, as they are one of four teams with a record of 5-5. They still can get the #4 seed though if they beat the Warriors, and both the Bulls and Rockets also win. The Warriors have been the more consistent team this season, as four players are averaging double figures. Tyree Mosley (21.4 ppg), Latrell Tidwell (15.4 ppg), Quon Shaw (10.8 ppg), and Chris Anderson (10.6 ppg) have led the team offensively, as they are on a three-game win streak. While the Suns have had way more ups and downs, their top level talent is superior to the Warriors, if not every team in the league. Their issue has been getting some of their most dynamic players to the gym. Jared Johnson has only played in one game this season, while Vashawn Sims and John Oliver have each played in just five of the team's ten games. Despite these issues, the Suns are still scoring the ball in bunches, and their 79.8 points per game as a team leads the K1 League. While the Warriors have four players in double figures, the Suns have a whopping six players in that category - a league high. Reigning MVP Ryan Kvasnicka is averaging a double-double this season, at 22.1 ppg and 10.4 rpg. He is ranked fourth in scoring and second in rebounding. Vashawn Sims is averaging 22.0 ppg, Jamir Hinds 15.7 ppg, Phil Andrade 13.8 ppg, John Oliver 12.0 ppg, and Jared Johnson 11.0 ppg. The key to this game may be who the Suns are able to put out onto the court. A full team will likely be too fast and too athletic for the Warriors. However, if the Suns show up with the team they have had the past couple of weeks, they may be troubled to slow down a Warriors team that can also score the ball in bunches. Don't miss the Week 11 game of the week, as some of the league's best scorers will go at it in the effort to clinch the final first round bye in the playoffs.

4:00 pm - Bulls @ Grizzlies
Just a few weeks ago, it seemed as though the Grizzlies may be on their way to a first-round bye. But following a surprise loss to the Pistons in Week 8, and then a ten-point defeat at the hands of the top-seeded Nets in Week 10, the Grizzlies find themselves in the middle of the standings. The Warriors are 6-4, while the Bulls are 4-6. There are then four then four teams with a record of 5-5, including the Grizzlies. The Bulls seemed to be staring down the #10 seed or even #11 seed, before picking up a big win over the Lakers in Week 10, as Nick Crowe (24 points and 16 rebounds) and Seth Johnson (21 points and 11 rebounds) dominated on the interior. Here are the scenarios that both teams face: the Grizzlies can get all the way up to the #4 seed, with a win and some help. They could also fall all the way down to the #9 seed, if they lose, and several other games don't go their way. For the Grizzlies to get a bye, they would need to beat the Bulls, and then the Suns beat the Warriors in the 3 pm game. For the Bulls, they can still be the #10 seed, if they lose and the Bucks beat the Pistons. They could get as high as the #7 seed, if they beat the Grizzlies, and then the Suns, Rockets, and Nets all pick up wins of their own. This game fascinates because of the size that both teams possess. The Grizzlies are led by Chris White (21.1 ppg) and Chad White (17.6 ppg), who look to both be all-league. The Bulls have some serious size of their own as well, in the aforementioned Nick Crowe (12.3 ppg and 7.6 rpg) and Seth Johnson (11.6 ppg and 8.4 rpg). The one player that may be the difference maker is Benito Munoz. The Bulls' guard continues to score the ball as well as anyone, as he ranks tenth in the K1 League at 20.9 ppg. He is less than one ppg behind Terrell Terrell Hendrix, who ranks fifth in the scoring race. If Munoz can have a solid game, the Bulls may actually be favorites in this game, as they figure to be one of the few teams that can slow down the interior attack of the Grizzlies. Don't miss this between two teams that are hoping to jump up the standings a couple of sports before the bracket is released.

5:00 pm - Nets @ Spurs
"Game 66" as the term has been coined, sets up to be one of the most pivotal games of the entire regular season. Arguably the two favorites for the title, will battle in the final game of the regular season. The Nets have already clinched the #1 overall seed, regardless of what happens on Sunday. This much they know. While their seed can't change on Sunday, they would love to take down the Spurs, a team that Coach Chills has not beaten since March of 2021. Since then, they have lost five straight times, and have struggled to keep things close. Sunday's game figures to be extremely close though, as the Nets possess the number one defense in the league by seven points per game. Their only loss came in Week 3 to the Rockets, an OT loss when they didn't have Martavias Laster. With Laster present, the Nets are 9-0, and have found a way to get more help from their role players this season. Laster is averaging 21.3 ppg, and Sammie Hines is averaging 16.6 ppg. Hines was fantastic against the Grizzlies in Week 10, knocking down seven three-pointers, along the way to a 23-point performance. Mook Lawrence (9.6 ppg and 6.5 rpg) and Ronnie Jackson (7.8 ppg) have filled their roles nearly flawlessly, on both ends of the court. Lawrence figures to match up against Dennis Koger, as he tries to make one final case for player of the year. For the Spurs, they are as hot as any team in the K1 League besides the Nets. Winners of three straight games, over the Suns, Lakers, and Bucks, the Spurs could reach the #2 seed, with a win over the Nets, or if the Lakers lose to the Celtics. While the Spurs have had to navigate issues at the point guard position for most of the season, they have begun to found some clarity in who brings the ball up at what points in the game. KT Bobo has started to take better care of the ball (3.1 turnovers per game, T-4th in the League), and both Chris Green and Ben Green have helped in that aspect as well. Dennis Koger has been outstanding in all areas, averaging 21.6 ppg and 8.6 rpg to lead the team in both categories. Chris Green (15.2 ppg) and Ben Green (14.0 ppg) have been superb over the team's three-game win streak, and Octavious Davis (12.7 ppg) has been huge as well. The Spurs have scored more points than any other team in the K1 League, and also have the experience of winning three straight championships. That makes their matchup against the league's number one defense and first-place team, one that you can't miss. Don't miss any of the Week 11 matchups, as teams have one final opportunity to better their seeding before the playoff bracket is revealed.
