We’re a little over halfway through the 2018-19 NBA season. Which teams have been able to recover from their early season rocky starts?

The 2018-19 NBA season has been nothing short of entertaining as we move into the second half of the campaign. The Western Conference has 14 teams fighting for eight playoff spots, while the Eastern Conference has the league’s frontrunner for MVP and best team. And hey, Cleveland Cavaliers ticket prices are cheap if you’re looking to go to a game.

For some teams (the Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks and even the Sacramento Kings) the season has been going well, or better than expected. The team is happy, the fans are happy, and you can log their seasons under the “positive” tab so far.
