As the NBA restarts for the second half of the season after the All-Star break, every team has a compelling storyline worth investing in.

While constantly dubbed the half-way mark of the regular season, All-Star Weekend is anything but. The middle mark of an 82-game season comes at game No. 41, which for every NBA team was passed around mid-January.

It’s a relatively meaningless point that’s always fun to point out especially at a time when NBA talking points are all but nonexistent.

The All-Star festivities were truly ones for the book, as every event brought spectacular showcases of talent and worthwhile theatrics, including the NBA All-Star Game that may have found its perfect form.

As players and coaches recharge their batteries, not every team will have the same goals with which to exude that energy on.

Some teams will further the development of the younger players on their roster. Others will look to hit their stride at the ideal time for the postseason. And a select few with seek to fine-tune several factors to better serve what they hope is a potential run into June.

No matter the circumstance, every team has what to tune in for in the remaining 30 or so games on the year. How they make the most with what they’ve got should translate to more of the incredible theatrics NBA fans have been treated to this season.
