New Orleans Pelicans v Houston Rockets Betting Tips

Potentially a very attractive and efficient match. Two teams that are forcing fast basketball with a lot of transition and many shots for 3 points. After James Harden's departure, Houston continued to force the same style of play and provide solid results, mostly thanks to John Wall, who plays great after a break of almost two years and averages almost 19 points and 6 assists. However, in the defeat by the Spurs in the last game, the Rockets suffered a great misfortune because one of the best players of this season, Christian Wood, was injured, who will be absent indefinitely from the field, so the team will have to try to join the playoff fight without him.

The Pelicans are not in a great position either, as they are only in 12th place in the Western Conference with 10-12 record, but they are in solid form because they are in a series of 3 consecutive victories. In the previous game, after a great fight, they managed to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies with 118: 109, and another good match was played by the promising duo Williamson-Ingram, who combined to score as many as 56 points for their team.

Although both teams are currently out of the playoff zone, the situation in the Western Conference is such that the difference between the 6th and 15th spot on the table is only 2 wins and there is no doubt that we will watch an interesting fight by the end of the regular season.

I give the role of the favourite in this match to the Pelicans, primarily due to a few absences in the Rockets' roster, so my suggestion is a victory for the hosts.
