The Houston Rockets shoot for the No.1 spot in the Southwest Division as they battle the skidding New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday at Toyota Center. The Rockets (17-9) are 2-3 in their last five games but they are only a half-game behind Southwest Division leaders Memphis Grizzlies (18-9). Houston reached the Emirates NBA Cup semifinal round where they were trounced by the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-96. Amen Thompson led his team with 19 points and Alperen Sengun tallied 13 points and 11 boards in a losing effort. The Pelicans have now dropped four games in a row since their upset win over the Phoenix Suns, 126-124. The extended absence of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson due to injuries have crippled this promising young team this season, sending them to the bottom of the West standings with a 5-22 record.
