The New Orleans Pelicans will battle the Houston Rockets on Thursday at Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans will try to end a seven-game losing streak that began in a December 8 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 119-109. New Orleans engaged in a pulsating overtime duel with the Denver Nuggets, where they ran out of steam once again, 129-132. Jordan Hawkins fired for 25 points off the bench while CJ McCollum and Yves Missi chipped in 24 and 21 points, respectively. The Rockets have earned three consecutive victories, including a 114-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets. Jabari Smith Jr. tallied 21 points and 11 rebounds while Amen Thompson had 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead the charge for Houston, who outrebounded the Hornets 60-44. The Rockets are now occupying the top spot in the Southwest standings with a 20-9 slate.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Rockets blasted the Pelicans 133-113 in the first meeting. In their second face-off this season, I expect Houston to roll past the Pelicans, who are 4-11 at Smoothie King Center. With Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson still out with injuries, the Rockets’ defensive might will be too much for the Pelicans to smash through. Our betting prediction for the Houston Rockets vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: Rockets to cover -8.5 points,
