New Orleans is coming off two consecutive wins after losing six of their last 8 games overall. The defense is now much better these days and with Eric Gordon now back in the lineup for a couple of time, they also have one important player at the offensive-end. Houston on the other hand is coming off a win over the Lakers at home. Today they will be back to back on the road, where they did not have a lot of success so far, especially against the West.
Rockets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New Orleans and 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.
