The Dallas Mavericks are missing some key players and given the lack of depth in their side, they are surely the underdogs against the Pelicans. This can be the best opportunity for the Pelicans to come back to winning ways and given the form Zion and Ingram they are in, they are the favorites against the Mavs.
