The New Orleans Pelicans are set to begin their regular season play next week. Last season, they finished 21-61, ranking last in the Southwest Division.
The team's championship odds are 300-1, according to BetMGM. Much of their success will depend on the health of star power forward Zion Williamson.
The club's new executive vice president of basketball operations, Joe Dumars, has decided to double down on Williamson as the franchise player.
