12:00 pm - Rockets @ Pistons
The Rockets will be forced to forfeit against the Pistons on Sunday, meaning the Pistons will improve to 3-7, and the Rockets will fall to 5-5. The Pistons take on the Bucks in Week 11, and the Rockets take on the Heat

1:00 pm - Grizzlies @ Nets
The Week 9 game of the week matchup features the Nets and Grizzlies, who both have plenty on the line in this contest. For the Nets, who enter the contest with a league-best record of 8-1, their magic number is down to one. If they beat either the Grizzlies or Spurs, they will clinch the #1 overall seed heading into the playoff tournament. While the Nets aren't necessarily scared of playing the Spurs - who they matchup against in Week 11 - they would certainly love to take care of business in Week 10, knowing that a back-to-back losses to end the season could drop them all the way down to the #3 seed. In the way of the Nets first is Walter Hudson's Grizzlies, who enter the contest with a 5-4 record. Although the Grizzlies are just a game above .500, they have shown the ability to beat the league's best. The Grizzlies have defeated the Spurs, Suns, and Warriors so far, and lost to the Lakers by just seven points. In what is a big test for the Grizzlies, they hope to clinch not only a winning season, but also look to get themselves in position to grab a first round bye. The Grizzlies will look to Chris White and Chad White to lead their offense. Chris is averaging 21.0 ppg, and Chad is averaging 18.3 ppg. Despite the size advantage, things may not be easy for the Grizzlies, as the Nets possess the league's top defense, as they allow on average 55.1 ppg. The Nets have been led by Martavias Laster, who is fresh off Week 9 POTW honors, with his 28 points and nine rebounds against the Bucks. Laster is sixth in the K1 League in scoring (21.6 ppg), and Sammie Hines ranks 16th at 15.9 ppg. With the White brothers ranking 8th and 12th respectively, this should be a great battle of talented scorers, as four of the league's top sixteen scorers square off in this one, with first-round byes on the line.

2:00 pm - Celtics @ Warriors
The Celtics struggled in Week 9 without their top two scorers, and will look to rebound on Sunday against a Warriors team that put up 81 points against the Pistons. Antonio Phillips (16.1 ppg) and Jonathan Townsend (11.6 ppg) both missed the team's contest against the Heat, as the team turned the ball over a whopping 22 times in a 73-61 loss. Despite the inability to handle the full-court pressure of the Heat, Josh Washington had a career game for the C's, finishing with 20 points and seven rebounds. He will have to play a big role on the glass for the Celtics, who are a much smaller team than the Warriors are. Meanwhile for Otis Houston's squad, they played their most balanced game of the season, as five of their six players scored in double figures. Tyree Mosley led the way with 24 points, as he is now averaging 21.1 ppg on the season. Quon Shaw had 15 points and 12 rebounds, Latrell Tidwell had 14 points and seven rebounds, Chris Anderson had 13 points and six rebounds, and Otis Houston had 12 points. The Warriors improved to 5-4 with the win, and still have a chance to finish with a first-round bye. If the Warriors can beat the Celtics, and then beat the Suns in a blockbuster Week 11 matchup, they will very likely end up with the #4 seed and a first round bye. The only way that wouldn't happen is if the Grizzlies and Spurs both win their final two games as well. Both the Grizzlies and Spurs still have to play the first-place Nets, which means the Warriors may like their chances if they are able to beat the Celtics and Suns.

3:00 pm - Heat @ Suns
A rematch of the Heat and Suns' first game of the Spring 2021 Season, all the way back on January 16th, takes place ten months later, as both teams vie for important positioning in the standings with just two weeks to play in the regular season. The Suns enter the game with a 5-4 record, knowing that a pair of wins could propel them to the #4 seed and a first round bye. The Heat meanwhile are 4-5, and hope to pick up two upset wins in their final two games (Suns and Rockets), as they look to avoid a potential bottom four seed. The Suns have the league's number one scoring offense, and they will look to take advantage of the size that they have. The Heat will look to use their younger legs and beat the Suns in transition, as they did in their Week 1 win back in January. If the Suns can control the tempo and take good care of the ball, they will likely be too much for the Heat to handle in the half court. But if the Heat are able to force some turnovers and knock down a handful of three pointers against the zone of the Suns, they could pull off an upset. Both teams have some individual scorers that have caught the league's eyes all season. Reigning MVP Ryan Kvasnicka is averaging 22.3 ppg and 9.6 rpg, while teammate Vashawn Sims is averaging 20.0 ppg. Jamir Hinds has proved to be a great addition for this Suns team (14.8 ppg), and Phil Andrade (11.0 ppg) has been playing good basketball as of late. The Heat average 13 ppg fewer as a team than the Suns do, so they will need to play their best brand of basketball. Terrell Hendrix is quietly putting together a very solid season, averaging 19.8 ppg and 6.4 rpg. CJ Link (11.2 ppg) and Lamarius Lillard (11.0 ppg) have been key contributors as well, but Link has scored just six points total in the team's past two games. Although the Suns are favorites in this game, don't count out a Heat team that loves to play in primetime games.

4:00 pm - Spurs @ Bucks
The three-time defending champion Spurs seem to be hitting their stride at the perfect time, as they knocked off the Suns and Lakers in back-to-back weeks. The Spurs' record now sits at 6-3, as they look to pick up a win over the Bucks in Week 10, before their "Game 66" showdown with the Nets. On the other side of the aisle, the Bucks are trending in the opposite direction, but they still have a formidable core, led by all-star Billy Baptist, and a pair of big men in Aleks Malinic and CC Malone. They are hoping this trio can spark a playoff run of their own. For the Spurs, Dennis Koger is putting together one of his best seasons all-time, in his swan song. He is averaging 22.0 points per game - good for fourth in the K1 League - and 8.8 rebounds per game - good for fifth in the K1 League. Brothers Ben Green and Chris Green have been exactly what this Spurs' team has needed on the perimeter, averaging 14.3 ppg and 13.8 ppg respectively. Octavious Davis is averaging 12.8 ppg and KT Bobo is averaging 8.3 ppg, as the Spurs rank first in the K1 League in total points scored. This all seems like a bad formula for the Bucks, who have given up the second most points in the K1 League, ahead of only the Pistons. The Bucks are going to need some heroics from the aforementioned Baptist, who is averaging 24.5 ppg in his team's past four contests. Following an upset win over the Grizzlies in Week 7, the Bucks have struggled mightily in the past two weeks, falling to the winless Celtics, and then getting off to a slow start against the first-place Nets, in what was a 16-point halftime deficit. Perhaps the Bucks can entice Lavell McIntosh to play in one more regular season game, if they are to match the athleticism of the Spurs. Either way, the Spurs will look to improve to 7-3 and set up a big time showdown with the first-place Nets in the final game of the regular season.

5:00 pm - Bulls @ Lakers
The Lakers suffered just their second loss of the season against the Spurs on Sunday, but it was their second loss in three games. They still sit in an excellent position however, as they enter Sunday with a record of 7-2, and have the chance to not only secure a first round bye with a win over the Bulls, but can still clinch the number one overall seed, if the Nets lose to the Grizzlies in Week 10 and the Spurs in Week 11. The Lakers will take on the Bulls, whose record sits at 3-6. While the Lakers look like big favorites on paper, they actually lost to the Bulls twice in the Fall 2021 K1 League, including a 65-62 loss in the quarterfinals that ended their title hopes. The Lakers avenged those two losses in the Spring 2022 Season with a 79-75 win over the Bulls, but had to come from behind in the second half to seal the deal. This is all worth mentioning, because the Bulls have found a way to outplay the Lakers for the majority of their past three contests, despite entering all three games with a worse record. Perhaps the biggest reason could be the size advantage that the Bulls possess. Even without Nick Crowe in the lineup, Seth Johnson and Bobby Crivokapich will have a big advantage on the glass against the Lakers, as they will look to pull off yet another upset. Benito Munoz is making his case for first team all-league, as he is averaging 20.9 ppg, good for ninth in the K1 League. Despite the Bulls' size advantage, they will be severely tested with the superb guard play of the Lakers, led by LJ Harris, who is averaging 18.2 ppg. Despite not having great showings in the team's two losses this season, Harris has been the team's unquestioned leader on the court. Kawani Blackman has contributed a lot on offense as well, as he is averaging 13.7 ppg. Tone Brooks is the only other Laker to be in double figures (10.3 ppg), as Brian Hernandez has only played in two games. The Lakers will hope for Hernandez to be back in the lineup down the stretch, as the team heads into the playoffs. If Hernandez is unable to go, they will hope to see more of what Gerald Duckworth did this past Sunday, in a 16 point performance against the Spurs. While the Lakers are definitely favorites in this game, it will be interesting to see how they counter the size of the Bulls, particularly that of Seth Johnson in this intriguing 5 pm game.
