Pelicans vs Rockets prediction<\/p>\n

Pelicans vs Rockets best bet: Rockets -7 (-110)<\/p>\n

The Houston Rockets<\/a> are one of the top teams in the Western Conference with a 40-25 record, which puts them in fourth place. This is a very good team, and it\u2019s clear they thrive at the Toyota Center.<\/p>\n

The Rockets own a 22-8 home record, and they beat the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> in H-Town by nine points in January. In fact, they\u2019ve covered tonight\u2019s spread in five of their last six meetings with New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Also, Houston\u2019s last two wins comfortably covered this spread, and the Pelicans are an atrocious 9-24 SU on the road. I expect the Rockets to grab a convincing victory.<\/p>\n

Pelicans vs Rockets same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Across two meetings, Kevin Durant<\/a> averaged 25 points per contest, and after a cold night with just 11 points on Wednesday, you better believe Durant will respond after a recent tough stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jabari Smith Jr<\/a> has hit the Over in two of his last three outings, and with Alperen Sengun potentially out tonight due to lower back pain, that could open up more touches.<\/p>\n
