Houston Rockets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks

New Orleans Pelicans (17-45) versus Houston Rockets (37-25) will face off at the Smoothie King Center on Thursday night. The Pelicans will be looking for an immediate response after suffering a heavy 21-point defeat to the Lakers on Tuesday night. Willie Green's men have shown signs of turning around their season after winning five of their last 10 matches. A win against the Rockets could prove they have come of age mentally, although their postseason dreams are almost over.

Houston Rockets, meanwhile, have come tumbling down in the Western Conference standings after spending most of the season chasing the Thunder. They are 5-5 in the last 10 matches and have given up their previous three assignments. This poor form has seen them drop to fifth position, 14.0 games behind the Thunder. Ime Udoka's men are also just a game behind the out-of-form Grizzlies and will be eager to improve their .597 winning percentage.
