Advice and prediction
The Rockets are the second team this year to experience the Ball brother back-to-back. On Monday, short-handed Houston lost to the Hornets and LaMelo Ball after scoring just seven points in the fourth quarter.
However, the team will welcome back Eric Gordon and John Wall, both of whom sat on Monday. Still, the Pelicans are heavy favorites and are playing their best basketball of the season. Take Pelicans -6.5.
Prediction: New Orleans 109, Houston 100
