James returns and leads the team to a reversal, Kuba loses to the Magic in a hard battle, and the battle for the top four in the Western Conference is clear

There were many exciting contests in the NBA regular season. The former champion Golden State Warriors took the lead in challenging the Orlando Magic on the road. Although Banqueiro was absent due to injury, the Magic have been in good shape recently. They lost the last game when they dragged the Rockets, the Western Conference powerhouse, into overtime on the road. The Rockets were suppressed throughout the game. If it were not for Durant's superstar ball at the critical moment, the Rockets may not be able to escape defeat.

The Magic, who returned home, started a battle with the Warriors in the first quarter and gained a slight lead. Even if Curry continued to hit difficult outside three-pointers, Butler also relied on his personal ability to score. The two teamed up to score 67 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. Unfortunately, except for Green, who was not good at offense, who scored 12 points, the Warriors had no one else who could stand up on the offensive end. In the end, they lost to the Magic, who had six players scoring in double figures, 113:121 in the away game.

In another game where the Lakers faced the Jazz at home, LeBron James finally came back to make his debut of the new season. Despite a slow start, the absolute influence of James and Doncic on the court helped the team complete a reversal in the fourth quarter after falling behind by up to 20 points. The starting three scored 20+ points. Doncic scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. Ayton scored a double-double with 20 points and 14 rebounds. James did not have a strong desire to attack. He only scored 11 points but sent 12 assists to revitalize the team.

As the Suns and Spurs won one after another, the losing Warriors fell directly to the eighth position in the Western Conference. Although Curry has been in great form recently and Butler is still tough, with the current Warriors lineup, even if the two offensive cores score high points every game, they are at best a team on the fringes of the playoffs in the powerful Western Conference. It may be difficult for the Spurs to remain in the first tier of the Western Conference after Vunbanyama is injured.

The new championship Thunder is already the only one in the league. Both the Nuggets and Rockets have at least one superstar and one All-Star, and their lineups are strong. Even though the Rockets have suffered a wave of injuries recently, they still won a wave of 4 consecutive victories and ranked among the top three in the Western Conference.

Due to the absence of James in the new season of the Lakers, Doncic forced Doncic to lead the team with a single core. During this period, Rivers performed many outstanding performances and became the team's third giant. He averaged 28.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game this season, and even surpassed James in terms of statistics. In addition, new aid Ayton has been fed into a double-double center next to several stars who are good at passing. As long as the players can stay healthy, the pattern of this year's top four in the Western Conference is already very clear. The Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets, and Lakers will most likely dominate the Western Conference for a long time.
