The Houston Rockets will make the trip to the state of Louisiana to face off with the New Orleans Pelicans at their home court of Smoothie King Arena this Sunday (March 29) evening. There, the Rockets are going to be looking to remain in the win column after picking up a victory off a Western Conference foe in their last game.
On the other side of the court, the Pels are going to be looking to snap one of the longer losing streaks in the NBA, even if the front office would prefer they did not. We are expecting a Houston win in this one, not that this should surprise anyone given where both teams are in the standings.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Rockets have a 44-29 record, which has them sixth in the Western Conference standings.
The Pels are the owners of a 25-50 record and a four-game win streak, good enough for 11th place in the West,
What happened in the last game for each team?
Houston beat the Memphis Grizzlies 119-109 on the road.
The Pels lost to the Toronto Raptors 119-106, also on the road.
