2018-19 NBA Power Rankings: Post-All-Star rankings in Week 19

As the 2018-19 season enters the home stretch following the All-Star break, it’s time for the latest batch of NBA Power Rankings in Week 19.

Though the official halfway point of the 2018-19 campaign came a few weeks ago, the All-Star break is usually the unofficial dividing point of an NBA season. In the front half is the majority of the games, the trade deadline and the general hierarchy of the league being laid out.

The back half is where everything starts to really heat up.

At the 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, plenty of notable names were honored. Kyle Kuzma earned MVP honors for the Rising Stars Challenge, Jayson Tatum won the Skills Challenge, Joe Harris put his name on the map by winning the 3-Point Contest and rookie Hamidou Diallo saved the Slam Dunk Contest with a memorable dunk that was enough to win him the trophy.

In the actual All-Star Game, fans were treated to yet another entertaining and competitive matchup under the new format, with Team LeBron completing a comeback on Team Giannis in a game that was more competitive than the final score indicated.

Now that the All-Star break is nearly over and NBA basketball resumes Thursday night, it’s time to take an updated look at the lay of the land for the home stretch. Here are the latest NBA Power Rankings.
