CGTN Sports Talk

Judging by the NBA teams' performances so far this season, six of them have the better chance of winning the championship in the end, but the race will be very close. The Denver Nuggets have the unstoppable two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic, but does he have enough trustworthy teammates? The reigning champions Golden State Warriors know they can count on Stephen Curry, but who else can they go to for clutch plays? The Phoenix Suns may have the best offensive combination after Kevin Durant's arrival, but can they stay healthy till the end? The Boston Celtics appeared in the NBA Finals last season and lost the series. Has Jayson Tatum grown good enough to lead the team to make a difference? The Philadelphia 76ers have been carried by Joel Embiid this season. When he can't do it anymore, can James Harden take over the load from him? The Milwaukee Bucks seem perfect with the returning of Khris Middleton, but Middleton has not played like himself in prime, at least not in a consistent way.
