New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans at the end of the regular season added and suddenly began to win consistently. Last game New Orleans couldn't handle the Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James and Luka Doncic, but before that Willie Green's team had four wins in five games. Twice during this stretch, the Pelicans managed on their own court against San Antonio (114:96 and 109:93), exchanged away wins with Phoenix (124:116 and 108:125), and also beat Utah (128:121) away.

In total, New Orleans currently has 17 wins and 45 losses since the start of the championship. In the Western Conference standings, the Pelicans are on the penultimate line, ahead of only Utah.

Houston Rockets

The Rockets have rarely played at their optimum level lately, so they are coming into the game in New Orleans with a streak of three straight losses. Houston lost 103:113 at home to Sacramento, and on the road to Oklahoma (128:137) and Indiana (102:115).

The Rockets dropped to fifth place in the Western Conference. The overall balance of wins is 37-25. The seventh place Texas team is now only 3.0 wins ahead of them, so they can hardly feel comfortable in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

We don't know if all of Houston's leaders will take the court in the upcoming game, so let's be careful of betting on the outcome here. We'll take the over. New Orleans has Zion Williamson in great shape, and as a result, the Pelicans have started to score a lot. The Rockets, although they remain one of the strongest defenses of the season, have started to miss a lot more lately. In addition, the top scoring offense has been recorded in both of the rivals' head-to-head meetings this season.
