The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Indiana Pacers tonight at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Mavericks' plight does not seem to cease as the injury report is still crowded with names. While they have been enduring the ill-fate throughout the season, the situation intensified after Anthony Davis picked up an adductor injury in his debut game for the Mavs. Following AD, Kyrie Irving met with a season-ending ACL tear. With two of the main scorers gone, the Mavericks' strength has largely been compromised, and the incessant struggle to carve out wins is evidence of that. Despite the trouble, fans are hopeful about a miraculous resurrection of their season. As things stand, it is unlikely, but Anthony Davis' return could be a step towards the goal.
