12:00 pm - Pacers (1-3) @ Nets (4-0)
The Nets are fresh off the biggest win of the K1 season so far, with a 69-63 win over the Bucks in Week 4. They enter this contest as one of just two undefeated teams in the K1 League along with the Spurs. The Nets will be heavy favorites in the first game of Week 5, as they take on a Pacers team that is the youngest in the league. With the exception of a Week 3 win over the Grizzlies, the Pacers have struggled mightily on both ends of the court, getting outscored in their three losses by a combined 94 points. For the Pacers, they hope to have their best player Kawani Blackman back, but his status is unknown following a scary leg injury at the end of the first half. Blackman was fouled hard by the Lakers' Chad White as he was going up for a dunk, and had to miss the rest of the game. Without Blackman, the Pacers will need leading scorer Jamari Washington (16.5 ppg) to shoot it well from the outside, and guards Gerrod Williams (8.8 ppg) and Jajaun McKinnon (7.3 ppg) to get some points at the rim. Points may not be easy to come by though, as the Nets have been the second best defensive team in the league, allowing 52.5 points per game. For the Nets offensively, they have been led by Martavias Laster, who has arguably been the best guard in the league so far. Laster had 27 points against the Bucks in Week 4, and is second in the K1 League in scoring at 20.5 ppg. Outside of Laster, no other Net is averaging double figures, but that could change after this one, as TJ Wicks (9.3 ppg), Mook Lawrence (8.8 ppg), and Sammie Hines (8.3 ppg) aren't far off. The Nets are massive favorites in this one, as they look to be the first team to five wins.

1:00 pm - Kings (1-3) @ Bucks (3-1)
The Kings picked up their first win of the season in Week 4 against the Celtics, while the Bucks suffered their first loss to the Nets. The Bucks look to stay in the league's top four, while the Kings face yet another one of the league's top teams in the midst of a difficult stretch of the schedule. The two man wrecking-crew of Aleks Malinic (18.5 ppg) and Blake Graham (15.5 ppg) has really propelled the Bucks in the early going, dominating on the inside. Look for their guard play to get going as well, perhaps as soon as this Sunday, as Jaquan Boxley (9.8 ppg), Darien Bosby (8.5 ppg), and Christian Straw (6.0 ppg) are all capable of scoring the ball a lot more than they have been. A year ago the Bucks had seven of the league's top 25 three-point shooters, but have not showed anywhere near the same consistency this season from behind the long line. For the Kings, the key to their success will be slowing down the interior attack of the Bucks, while also keeping pace offensively. If CJ Link guards Malinic, then Graham may have some mismatches on offense, or vice versa. Jamir Hinds (13.0 ppg) and Link (12.5 ppg) lead the Kings in scoring, as they broke the 55-point mark for the first time in Sunday's win over the Celtics. Point guards KT Bobo and Ahmad Smith will have their hands full defensively, but will also need to score the ball if the Kings are to pick up an upset win over the Bucks.

2:00 pm - Celtics (1-3) @ Suns (2-2)
The Celtics and Suns match up in the third game of the day, as the Celtics should finally have Billy Baptist back for a full game in this contest. Following a Week 1 win in which the Celtics put up 67 points against the Lakers, they have averaged just 57 points in their past three contests, while allowing 72 points. That recipe certainly doesn't lead to many victories in the K1 League, but perhaps a silver lining is that they have not had Baptist for two of those three contests. In his two full games this year, Baptist is averaging 22 points to lead the offense. More than that though, Baptist has been the clear leader on a team that is searching for a young leader to step up. This was evident a week ago as the Celtics struggled to bring the ball up the court, committing 25 turnovers in a loss to the winless Kings. Jonathan Townsend (15.3 ppg) and Donald Ellis (11.3 ppg) take the majority of the shots without Baptist on the court, but both struggled mightily a week ago with their percentage, and will have to step it up in this one. Another key player the Celtics will welcome back is center Jay Slone, who was absent in Week 4. He'll have his hands full against a Suns team that throws the ball inside as much as any other team in the K1 League. Following a tough loss in Week 3 to the Spurs, the Suns bounced back nicely in Week 4, led by Ryan Kvasnicka's remarkable performance, in which he had 42 points, nine rebounds, and five steals to win co-player of the week honors. The Suns too are searching for some consistency behind their leading scorer, as just two others average double figures. Big man Kevin Howard (10.8 ppg) is getting himself back into game shape, and looks better and better each week. Point guard Brian Zirkle (10.7 ppg) has impressed since his debut in Week 2, as he is third in the league in assists with 4.7 per game. The Suns will certainly have the edge on the inside, so the Celtics will need to rebound well, limit second chances, and hope that Baptist is ready to go off on both ends of the court. Don't miss Baptist's potential matchup with reigning player of the week Ryan Kvasnicka in this game.

3:00 pm - Spurs (4-0) @ Knicks (1-3)
The two-time champion Spurs are showing no sign of letting up as they come into this contest 4-0, fresh off a 65-point dismantling of the Bulls in Week 4. They face off with a Knicks team that is 1-3, but has played the league's most difficult schedule so far. Including this matchup with the Spurs, the combined record of the Knicks' opponents is 15-5, good for a .750 winning percentage. The Knicks will face the league's toughest test, and will have to do it without their best player LJ Harris, who was just drafted to TBL by the San Diego Sharks. For the Knicks, Braijon Thomas has been manning the point guard position well, now more important than ever with the loss of LJ Harris. Thomas had 25 points, five rebounds, and five steals in last week's loss to the Suns. Quon Shaw is averaging 14.0 points per game, along with 7.0 rebounds per contest. Meanwhile Chris Anderson has had a nice start to his inaugural season in the K1 League, averaging 12.3 points per game, along with 7.8 rebounds per game to lead the team. Although one of the Knicks' strength is their ability to rebound the ball, the Spurs do it better than anyone. They have three of the league's four best rebounders, and have dominated on the glass so far this year. Despite just three players averaging double figures - Dennis Koger (19.3 ppg), Tyree Mosley (16.8 ppg), and Latrell Tidwell (16.0 ppg) - the Spurs are averaging 82.5 points per game as a team, well ahead of the league's second best team. The Spurs will be big favorites in this one, especially from behind the three-point line, as they look to get to 5-0 in the Spring 2022 League.

4:00 pm - Heat (3-1) @ Bulls (2-2)
The Week 4 game of the week matchup features the Heat and the Bulls, both vying for pivotal positioning in the standings. The Heat enter the contest at 3-1, with two huge wins under their belt, over the Suns in Week 1 and the Knicks in Week 2. The Heat are tied for third in the league standings with the Bucks, and are looking to beat the Bulls for the first time. They lost both of their matchups a year ago, as they were unable to contain reigning player-of-the-year Seth Johnson. Terrell Hendrix is leading the Heat in scoring yet again, averaging 19.3 ppg, good for fifth overall in the K1 League. Alongside him, the Heat have received a good amount of balance on the offensive end of the court, something that has been a big key to their success. Sixth man of the year candidate Mason Monahan is averaging 10.3 ppg off the bench, while point guard Alonzo King is averaging 9.5 ppg of his own. The Heat's calling card has been their defensive, led by their continuous pressure and an extended 2-3 zone. The Heat have forced a ridiculous 79 turnovers through four games, while accumulating 44 steals so far this season. For the Bulls, the story remains the same - their Big 3 has been dominant, and their production alone has already shown it can be enough to beat good teams. While Seth Johnson (20.0 ppg), Benito Munoz (17.0 ppg), and Bobby Crivokapich (15.3 ppg) all having yet another great season scoring the basketball, the key for the Bulls will be whether or not they can take care of the ball against the Heat's extended pressure. Tryston Swartz and Matt Wells should return to a Bulls' lineup that desperately needs some depth. Look for these two guys to help the Bull's Big 3, not only to get the ball up the court, but to also score the ball. The Bulls will look to upset the Heat and make a huge jump in the league standings.

5:00 pm - Grizzlies (0-4) @ Lakers (2-2)
The final game of the day sees the league's lone winless team in the Grizzlies take on the red-hot Lakers. The Grizzlies enter the contest with a record of 0-4, and have struggled mightily in their most recent two games, after a pair of narrow losses in Weeks 1 and 2. Ben Matthews is out for the foreseeable future with a broken wrist, and as a result the Grizzlies need some other players to step up. Pat Allen has been the team's best player by far, averaging 13 points and nine rebounds per game. He had 17 points and 15 rebounds a week ago in their loss to the Heat. The key for the Grizzlies will be their ability to knock down shots from the perimeter, as they connected on just 5/35 attempts from three in Week 4. While the Lakers won't have a huge size advantage, their guard play is excellent, and they defend the three-ball well, which may cause problems for the Grizzlies. Andre Robertson Jr. had the game of his life in Week 4, recording the league's first ever quadruple double, logging 15 points, eleven rebounds, ten assists, and ten steals. Tone Brooks won player of the week honors in Week 3, and is averaging 19.5 points per game, good for fourth in the league and first for the Lakers. Red Binion is also averaging 17.0 points per game, and should be returning to the lineup soon. The Lakers were happy with the play of Chad White in their win over the Pacers last week, as it gives them a big body in the middle to surround their team of guards. White had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and is averaging 7.3 rebounds per game to lead the team. While the Grizzlies will like their matchup against a smaller Lakers team, the Lakers guard play may be ultimately too much, as they look to get back above the .500 mark.
