Houston Rockets vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview

On Thursday night, the Houston Rockets (20-9) will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans (5-25) in a divisional rivalry that promises to add extra motivation for both squads. The game is set to tip off at 8:00 PM ET at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.

Houston enters this matchup riding high, having won three consecutive games, including a recent victory over the Charlotte Hornets, 114-101. The Rockets are a significant favorite, with a spread currently set at Rockets -7.5. Their Moneyline stands at -335, indicating an implied win probability of 75%. The extra days off since their last game, three days ago, should provide Houston’s players with ample rest, enhancing their chances of continuing their winning streak.

In stark contrast, the New Orleans Pelicans are struggling, having lost seven straight games, including a narrow defeat to the Denver Nuggets, 132-129, in their last outing. The Pelicans' Moneyline is currently +280, reflecting an implied win probability of just 25%. Despite the home court advantage, New Orleans will need to turn their fortunes around quickly to avoid extending their losing streak.

For those looking to wager on player props, Yves Missi’s Points and Rebounds market has garnered attention, with the prop total moving from Under 21.5 to Under 20.5 Points and Rebounds. Sharp bettors appear to be leaning towards the Under, which could be worth monitoring as the game approaches.
