Rockets vs. Pelicans game preview: the “other” I-10 rivals

The Houston Rockets look to build on their 4-game winning streak when they head on the road to take on the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans are playing the Milwaukee Bucks as I write this, so if something crazy happens in that game there’s a reason I’m not mentioning it.

We talked about expectations the other day, but I’m not quite sure what the expectations were for the Pels coming into the season. Certainly they brought in Stan Van Gundy, maxed out Brandon Ingram, traded for Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe, and were ready to give more of their offense to Zion Williamson (still the owner of the greatest high school mixtape of all time, with apologies to John Wall).
