20. Orlando Magic

Fans of the Orlando Magic should be proud of the way their team has played through the first half of the season. The underdog Magic have fought hard to prove that they are no pushover team and have actually managed to have a few good stretches this season.

The highlight of the Magic season has to be Nikola Vucevic being named a 2019 NBA All-Star. This made Vucevic the first player from Orlando to be selected to an All-Star team since Dwight Howard in the 2011-12 season.

Vucevic is averaging career-highs in both points and rebounds at 20.6 points and 12.1 rebounds a game.

This monster season from Vucevic has pushed the Magic to a 26-32 record. The team is less than a game behind the eight seeded Detroit Pistons and could find themselves in the postseason for the first time in nearly nine years.
