Houston at New Orleans

December 18, 2025
img8:00 PM Eastern

The New Orleans Pelicans are a total mess. They have the worst record in the Western Conference, with a 5-22 mark on the season. The Rockets are sailing along at 16-7 on the season, but that record is better than it looks as Houston is just one game out of second place. I would not expect the Rockets to lay down in this game and get surprised. Make the play on Houston.
