Adding an early return to avoid using else and additional nesting

I got the below comment from a developer: " add an early return here to avoid using else and additional nesting". But I have a bit of difficulty with modifying.

Can you please let me know what exactly should I do in this case? Thank you!

failOnStatusCode: false,

    }).then((res) => {


      // Assertion for one by one

      if (res.status != 200) {

        cy.log(JSON.stringify(res));

      } else {

        expect(res.body.id).to.eq(vehicleIdBuyNow);

        expect(res.body.auctionStatus).contains("finished");

        expect(res.body.price).to.be.equal(minPrice);

        expect(res.body.winningBidPlatformId).contains(platformIdBuyNow);

        expect(true).to.be.true;
