New Orleans Pelicans vs. Houston Rockets prediction

You can make a case for either side, as the Pelicans and Rockets have even point differentials so far this preseason. Kind of wild. That being said, the Rockets are the younger, more athletic team that has guys on their roster who have a point to prove. The New Orleans Pelicans are more stable in terms of their rotation and this is their final preseason game. The Pels are probably already looking ahead to the regular season. At home and in the small chalk, I'll be on the Rockets' side.
