NBA Betting Trends

Houston

The Rockets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Houston is 15-7-1 ATS in its last 23 games versus the Western Conference.

New Orleans

The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Monday games. New Orleans is 3-12 ATS in its last 15 home games.

Prediction:

The Pelicans will be without Lonzo Ball again tonight, so Holiday will shift over to the point guard spot again. One thing New Orleans can do is run the floor, so an up-tempo game with the Rockets is right up their alley. We are in store for a shootout here and something tells me the Pelicans will be able to hang. Holiday is a good perimeter defender and a steady veteran presence. Look for the hosts to play one of their best games of the season to keep this one close.
