The New Orleans Pelicans are in a tough spot. They have improved to the point where they could likely be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference, but in the rugged Western Conference their chances are remote at best. Houston is one of those strong teams in the West, and also one that has played their best basketball this season on the road. The Rockets have come up big on the road when taking on a team with a winning home record as they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11. The Rockets come into this contest just one game off the pace set by Memphis in the NBA Southwest, and will improve upon their 11-3 road mark by grabbing a comfortable win in this one. Take Houston.
