Pelicans vs Rockets Free Pick March 24, 2018
The Rockets host the Pelicans on Saturday night, and these are two of the league’s hottest teams. They each rank among the highest scoring teams in the NBA, but I think there are several reasons to believe that they both fall short of their season averages here tonight. For the Pelicans, they are coming off a brief rest after playing a rare back-to-back-to-back, which makes this the fourth game in five nights. The Rockets on the other hand are looking at resting players, as they have a comfortable lead at the top of the Western Conference standings. Houston is four games clear of the Warriors, and Golden State is decimated by injuries to both Curry and Durant. These two teams have a history of falling short of the total, going under in six of the last eight meetings. They have failed to reach the total in four of the last five in Houston, and the under is 6-1 in the Rockets last seven home games. The Rockets have scored an average of 113.5 points per game this season, but have failed to score that many points in seven of their last nine overall. The Pelicans have given up 111 points per game this season, but have allowed less than that in five of their last six overall.
Take UNDER.
