1/2

Second Half Improvement: 1998-99 Season

Other factors being equal, teams that perform better down the stretch frequently continue that success into the following season. This modifier is computed by taking the team’s winning percentage over the second eleven games of the conference regular season and subtracting the winning percentage over the first eleven games.

To be more precise:

1/2 = ((Pts in games 12-22) - (Pts in games 1-11)) / 22
