The 40-18 Houston Rockets will get the job done here tonight. The Pelicans do not have guards to matchup with the 3pt shooters of the Rockets. Houston has 7 players averaging 9 points/game or more and led by James Harden and his 29 ppg. It will also take some time for the 2 big men of New Orleans to gel together(Cousins and Anthony Davis). If the Rockets can at least play some semblance of defensive rebounding and compete on the big men they'll have a pretty good chance of winning by double digits. I think the pelicans won't be able to stop the barrage of 3 pointers coming their way especially with the addition of Lou Williams and the Rockets being motivated and rested again. After Anthony Davis got MVP in the All-Star game there will be a letdown here tonight at home. Take the HOUSTON ROCKETS.
