Houston Rockets vs New Orleans Pelicans Pick – 3/6/2025


On Thursday, March 6, 2025, the Houston Rockets will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center, starting at 8:00 PM ET. This matchup features two divisional rivals, adding an extra layer of significance as both teams look for motivation to secure a much-needed win.

Despite being on the road, the Rockets enter this game as favorites, with a spread of Rockets -4.5 and a moneyline of -185, suggesting an implied win probability of 63%. However, the Rockets have struggled significantly away from home, currently on an 8-game road losing streak. In their most recent outing, they fell to the Indiana Pacers, losing 115-102, which may have shaken their confidence.

On the other hand, the Pelicans sit at a dismal 17-45 record and have lost 36 of their last 50 games, including a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, 136-115. Their recent form has not inspired much faith among bettors, reflected in their moneyline of +160, which corresponds to an implied win probability of 37%.

For those considering player prop bets, CJ McCollum's Points and Assists market has attracted significant attention. The prop total opened at Under 22.5 Points and Assists (-110) but has since dropped to 21.5 (-110), indicating sharp bettors leaning towards the Under.
