The Lakers played against the Cavaliers at home, and the Lakers officially announced before the game that LeBron James will return today. James suffered a slight sprained ankle from Monday's game against the Grizzlies and missed the next back-to-back games against the Spurs and Thunder. The Lakers made a staggering 10 turnovers in the first quarter! James shot 10-of-22 from the field and 1-of-10 from three-point range to have 26 points, eight assists, three breaks and seven turnovers. There is a saying that a three-point shot is really a little iron today. But the two points are still stable.

First, at 5 a.m., the Wizards played the Celtics at home (waking up to see the results), smart (a low 1-of-7 shooting rate when he played the Wizards in the last game) would not go with the team to play against the Wizards due to illness, and there was one less defensive player.
Wizards center Garford underwent an MRI examination that showed no structural damage and is currently under daily observation, with he expected to be absent for a few days. In the last home game against the Hawks, the Wizards' second-in-command Dinwiddie was absent; Wizards coach Unseld Jr. said the team would be cautious about Dinwiddie's playing time in back-to-back games. Wizards bench point guard Raul Neto made a comeback when he played the Hawks last time.
The Celtics lost 107-116 at home to the Wizards, and now the Wizards have fewer Garford starting centers, Dinwiddie and Neto should be coming back, and the Celtics are away from home without Smart.
Second, the Pistons played at home against the Magic, the Magic is back-to-back on the road, today's away loss to the Raptors 1 point is a pity, Anthony's killer failed. Corningham, who is not included in the game's injury list, is expected to make his NBA regular season debut tomorrow. Grant is listed as having a high probability (75% chance of playing) due to a quadriceps injury.
The Pistons can only score 94 points per 100 rounds, ranking last in the league.
Third, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Pelicans played back-to-back against the Knicks at home, the home pelicans lost 109-113 to the Kings, Valanciunas had 24 points and 13 rebounds, Ingram contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, the Pelicans' three-point mute in this game, the whole team totaled 34 shots 9 of 3 (including the last 3 points in the final garbage time), the outside shooting rate was only 26.5%;
Pelicans core Zion is once again plagued by injuries and has been unable to play, and the team has only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses in the new season.
From the beginning of the 2019-20 season, for three consecutive years, the Pelicans have changed three coaches, from the initial Kindley's running and bombing tactics, to Van Gundy's defensive basketball, to Willie Green's happy basketball this season, the Pelicans have tried a variety of styles, but it seems that they have never been able to touch the door of the playoffs, which can really be described as "flowing coach, iron pelicans". The Pelicans have been giving the impression of an offensive team over defense for the past two years, but this season, the offensive magic has also been lost.
Fourth, at 7:30 in the morning, the Pacers returned home to play against the Raptors, the Pacers lost to the Nets 98-105 today, Brogdon suffered a lot of losses due to injury, the Pacers only scored 36 points in the second and third quarters, and the lack of core point guards made their offense frequently lose power. Craig had 28 points and 11 rebounds on the bench, rookie Duarte contributed 19 points, and Carlisle was also facing a situation where it was difficult to cook without rice due to the lack of a major general.
Fifth, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Suns played at home against the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers were back-to-back away, and in the last two minutes of the day, the Cavaliers trailed by 12 points, and the head coach immediately changed the bench so he didn't play, gave up, I don't know if I received a call from anyone?
Paul began to play health ball after taking a big contract, Booker's performance also became stretched, the inside core Ayton did not get a contract extension data also plummeted, and the strong and united Suns of last season were gone.
