Before they met with Houston, Willie Green's team played two straight road games and failed both times. First, the Pelicans lost to Memphis (101-116) and then to Philadelphia (111-120). These defeats hardly upset New Orleans, considering the team had won five games before that. The Pelicans are very confident on the season, having 23 victories of 37 games and sitting in third place in the Western Conference standings. Only Denver and Memphis are higher.
Houston
The Rockets have no tournament goals this season, so it should be no surprise that they are in last place in the Western Conference when they face New Orleans. Stephen Silas's squad has just ten wins in 37 meetings and four consecutive defeats. The previous Houston opponent was Dallas, who defeated the Rockets on the road with a score of 111-106.
Expert Betting Tips
New Orleans had a disappointing road trip, failing two straight, and they will surely do everything to recover at home against Houston, the worst team in the Western Conference. Indeed, the Pelicans have looked very confident against the average performers and underdogs this season. In their matchup with the Rockets, they have nearly always won by double-digit margins in recent years.
