The Rockets and Pelicans are each off big wins but Houston beating Dallas was certainly the bigger of the victories in terms of importance. That said, Houston could fall flat here and further supporting that notion is that, since early January, the Rockets have won back to back games only ONCE! Houston had lost 6 of 9 before knocking off the Mavericks who were without Luka Doncic. As for the Pelicans, they enter this game having strung together 3 straight victories. Also, New Orleans is 14-3-1 ATS dating back to Christmas Day. Per the simulation report, the Pelicans have a great shot at the outright upset here which certainly makes them worthy of a play getting a handful of points here. Play NEW ORLEANS
