The Rockets head into New Orleans tonight for the first half of a road back-to-back against the Pelicans and Denver Nuggets.
After tomorrow’s contest, Houston will only have five road games remaining to go along with seven home games.
Houston will be without Nene tonight, per Feigen. On the one hand, this is an odd game to rest Nene since the Pelicans feature one of the centers that Houston brought Nene in to deal with. On the other hand, the Nuggets also feature a big that Nene will need to corral, so getting him rest is still beneficial.
