The NBA season is in full swing, and trends are beginning to emerge as more games are played. Perhaps the most notable thus far is Luka Doncic averaging 40.1 points per game, cementing himself as the clear MVP favorite.
Yet, it is still early, and plenty will change between now and the end of the regular season. There are plenty of exciting storylines this week, but first let’s look at a few notable moments from last week.
LeBron’s sour return to Cleveland
The Philadelphia 76ers sit atop the Eastern Conference standings entering the week at 9-2. One of those two losses came Friday in a spoiled return to Cleveland for LeBron James.
The Cavaliers legend was held to eight points and turned the ball over six times in a rare showing for the star. In fact, his failure to reach 10 points in Cleveland broke an impressive streak dating back years.
