On the road, they have struggled immensely, losing six consecutive games and holding a dismal 5-21 road record this season. Fred VanVleet and Tari Eason are both ruled out for the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, The New Orleans Pelicans have been on a roll, winning seven of their last eight games overall. They are now aiming for their fourth consecutive victory after a hard-fought 133-126 win against the Washington Wizards in their last game before the All-Star break.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Rockets are in desperate need of a sustained turn of fortunes, but that seems unlikely to start here, with their current away record being the worst in the Western Conference with just five wins in 26 games. The Pels, on the other hand, were in top form heading into the All-Star break, and we expect them to pick up from where they left off in this one. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets prediction: New Orleans Pelicans to win the match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
