Houston’s defense at home is a game-changer – allows just 106.1 PPG, ranks top 5 in Opp FG% (44.5). Pelicans’ offense crumbles on the road, scoring just 107.8 PPG with 33.4% from deep. Rockets dominated the last matchup, holding New Orleans to 37.3% shooting and forcing 17 assists – minimal ball movement.
Pelicans’ defense is a liability – gives up 118.8 PPG (29th), allows 48.3% FG (26th). Houston’s offense isn’t elite but gets a boost at home – 112.6 PPG, rebounds well (48.1 RPG). Sengun feasted last game (22 pts, 78.6% FG), and Jalen Green leads the team in scoring. Pelicans struggle to contain inside threats.
Momentum on Houston’s side – 20-10 at home, just locked in defensively vs. New Orleans. Pelicans are a weak road team (6-26) and failed to adjust offensively in the last game. Rockets should control tempo again, defend well, and exploit a weak Pelicans defense.
