Following their biggest victory of the season, the reward is the first back-to-back on the schedule.
The New Orleans Pelicans will host a very unfamiliar looking Houston Rockets’ squad a day after beating Jrue Holiday and the Milwaukee Bucks by an exhilarating 131-126 score. Saturday’s matchup should be an interesting one for several reasons, too.
A few players of New Orleans’ yesteryear have assembled on the now post-James Harden Rockets. In addition to Eric Gordon, DeMarcus Cousins and Christian Wood are prominent members of Houston’s rotation. While Boogie is trying to prove he strongly resembles the player before injuries robbed him the vast majority of the last three years, Wood is making a strong case for the 2021 All-Star game with averages of 23.
