Rockets vs. Pelicans Pre-Game 4/4/21

Rockets Attempt to Fend-Off Pelicans for Rare Victory

Not So Big Easy.    First Set.    In For a Show.

Houston hosts Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night, as the Rockets are looking to get a rare win in the standings. New Orleans is below .500, at 21-27, but have still shown they’re capable of beating this Houston team. As long as Zion’s on the floor, it won’t be so easy for the Rockets against the team from the Big Easy.

Tonight’s game is the first of a back-to-back, with Houston playing on Monday night against the Suns, who have the second best record in the Conference. That being said, the Rockets best chance to get a victory in this upcoming back-to-back is tonight.

Fans should be in for a show tonight at Toyota Center. Zion Williamson is having  a stellar sophomore season. The Rockets have no answer for him on defense. Houston has to pray he has an off-night. Nonetheless… it should be an entertaining show.
