12:30 pm - Suns @ Celtics: The Suns and Celtics will kick off Week 2's action at 12:30 pm, as they both look to bounce back from a big defeat in their season opener. The Suns, who were without three of its players (Devonte Johnson, Mekhi Brown, and Dylan Winker) in last week's loss to the Bucks, will hope to find more of a rhythm on the offensive end of the court. They were only able to connect on 5/32 from behind the long line. Ferra Johnson and Miyon Dabney both impressed in their league debuts on Sunday, and will need to be key pieces for this Suns team. For the Celtics, it will hurt losing Antonio Phillips to college, who played a nice game against the Warriors in Week 1. However, they will welcome back Jay Slone, who is a big presence on the glass with his strength and physicality. Expect him to be a difference maker for this Celtics team along with Mendi Naylor. While it's still very early on in the K1 League, look for both teams to be much sharper than they were a week ago. The Celtics open as 2.5 point favorites in this one.
1:30 pm - Bucks @ Bulls: Seth Johnson and Kale Maupin, the top two scorers from the regular season a year ago, squared off in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Spring K1 League Tournament back in May. They will matchup in the post yet again on Sunday afternoon, this time with an early-season East division lead on the line. While both rosters look different than they did a year ago, these two have remained stalwarts in the K1 League, and two are of the best big men in the business. One of the keys in this game will be the Bulls' forward Bobby Crivokapich, who also can score the ball with the best of them. After averaging 18.3 ppg a season ago, Crivokapich opened his Fall League campaign with 14 points in a win against the Mavericks. The Bucks advantage in this one could come from their excellent guard play. They will welcome Lou Griffith to the scene for his league debut, and he should complement Darien Bosby nicely, who had 19 points a week ago in the Bucks win against the Suns. Also look for head coach Caleb Johnson, who is coming off of an ankle injury, to make his first appearance of the season. In a bigtime East division matchup, the Bucks open as 5.5 point favorites.
2:30 pm - Warriors @ Heat: The Week 2 game of the week matchup sees two high-powered offenses go at it in the Warriors and the Heat. The Warriors, who put up 74 points in a Week 1 win against the Celtics, received excellent contributions from Tyree Mosley and Martavius Laster, who had 16 and 15 points respectively. We know that the Warriors really like to run and can score the ball in transition, yet the Heat may be one of the few teams that will look to challenge the Warriors at their own game. For this Heat team, who edged the Nets in a Week 1 OT win, they too may be at their best when they allow their speedy guards to run the floor. For that reason, this one should be a fun matchup of high-octane offenses. The Heat will need Terrell Hendrix and Blake Graham to be at their best, along with Octavius Jefferson. Expect Alonzo King to have the tough task of guarding Laster. Other key offensive pieces for the Warriors include Jared Harris and Sammie Hines. Mainly because of their advantage in age and experience, the Warriors open as 3.5 favorites; however don't be surprised to see the Heat run alongside this Warriors team for 40 minutes and push them to the brink.
3:30 pm - Warriors @ Spurs: Two of the West Division's "Big Three" square off at 3:30 pm in a highly anticipated battle. For the Spurs, it's their second consecutive game against one of the league's best teams, as they continue to adjust to a revamped lineup. Newcomer Ryan Kvasnick will make his league debut on Sunday, and Dennis Koger is expected to be back in action for the defending champions. Guard Chris Green had 21 points a week ago against the Lakers, while Ray Lawrence will look to challenge guards Martavius Laster and Tyree Mosley, who both look poised to make a run at all-league honors. For the Warriors, the size disadvantage against the Spurs is definitely a concern, as big man Latrell Tidwell will need to crash the boards hard and get some help from his teammates. While both teams have some truly elite guard play, the Warriors could be at a slight disadvantage as they will be on their second game of a doubleheader. This gives the Spurs a slight edge, entering Sunday's contest as 1.5 point favorites.
4:30 pm - Mavericks @ Spurs: A brutal early-season stretch of the schedule for the Mavericks kicks off on Sunday as they face the Spurs at 4:30 pm. The Mavericks embark upon a five-game stretch against the Spurs, Lakers, Warriors, Spurs again, and the Bucks. While the Mavericks are certainly not a pushover in the K1 League, perhaps no matchup is as concerning for them as the Spurs and their massive interior rotation. Antwan Peterson may get tired of hearing this, but as the team's only true big man, he will be asked to carry a massive load on the glass on Sunday if the Mavericks want to stick around with the Spurs. The Mavericks will throw a deep rotation of guards at the Spurs on Sunday, and will need Braijon Thomas to shine in his return back to the lineup. Although they are on the second game of a doubleheader, look for the Spurs to put up some points in this one, as Dustin Rennewanz should get going on Sunday from three-point range. Whoever is not guarded by Peterson, out of Trey Johnson and Austin Halcomb, will be a strong candidate to record a double-double in this one. Spurs are 10.5 point favorites.
5:30 pm - Lakers @ Nets: The day concludes with Andre Robertson's Lakers taking on Coach Chillz' Nets in the 5:30 pm game. A year ago Chillz and company knocked off Robertson's team in the semifinals of the Spring K1 Playoff Tournament, however this year's two rosters look rather different. Quon Shaw, who averaged 11.7 ppg a year ago for Chillz, will this time lace up the sneakers against his former team. Although his role has changed, he is one of several key players for a talented Lakers that aims to back up its signature win in Week 1 against the Spurs. Andre Robertson Jr. was impressive in the Laker's Week 1 win, scoring 14 points. He and LJ Harris, will likely draw the assignment of guarding the Nets' Red Binion, who makes his much anticipated return to the K1 League on Sunday. Binion, who will likely rise up the scoring leaderboard in the Fall League, will need some help from a team that could struggle with depth at times - as it had just five players a week ago. If TJ Wicks can give the Nets some big minutes in the paint, and Ronnie Jackson can build off his 21-point performance from Week 1, the Nets will be able to play with any team in the K1 League, including the Lakers. Look for depth to be the x-factor in this one, as the Lakers open as 6.5 point favorites in an intriguing matchup.
