The Houston Rockets have lost too many games that they should have won this season. Their loss on Tuesday night to the Pelicans was one of their most embarrassing defeats of the season.
New Orleans flew into Houston with Anthony Davis, Julius Randle, E’Twaun Moore and Elfrid Payton on the injury report. Before Tuesday, the Pelicans had lost five of their last six games and were the 13th seed in the west. They had won just seven of their 27 games on the road.
Outside of Clint Capela, the Rockets now have everyone back, although Chris Paul is on a minutes restriction.
