What to Watch For

1.) Larry Sanders —- The NBA D-League playoffs are a whole different season than the regular season. For round one of the playoffs, teams need only need to win two games in order to advance to the next round. It is likely that Sanders comes off the bench and Eric Moreland starting. Sanders in his past two games has played extremely well. With his timing starting to come to him and the rust starting to fall off of him. With heighten expectations and going up against the best team in the D-League, it will be interesting to see how Sanders does in game one of the playoffs.

2.) Kay Felder — Felder will also be with the Charge for game one of the playoffs. This is the first time both Felder and Sanders are both with the Charge this season. Felder is a scoring machine in the D-League. With his first taste of the NBA D-League playoffs, it will be interesting to see how well he handles the pressure and if he can stay consistent on the offensive end of the floor where the Charge need him most.
