*NBA(1u): Pelicans -4.5(-110) @ Rockets–6:10 PM CT

New Orleans comes into this game off of 2 straight road wins against the Pistons and Nuggets. While the Pels can go into lulls on the offensive end of the floor, this team ranks 3rd in defensive efficiency over their past 3 games. In contrast, the Rockets rank last in defensive efficiency this season and just yielded 131 points to the Spurs. Virtually any team with a pulse can put up points on this Rockets team, so with New Orleans feeling good entering this matchup, I expect them to look sharp tonight. This is also a revenge game for New Orleans after they lost in Houston in early December. I think the Under is worth a look as well, although it’s hard for me to get involved in Rockets Unders given how poor they are defensively. The better way to play this game is to lay the points with a surging New Orleans team and play against a sloppy Rockets bunch.
