The Houston Rockets look to get back on track tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Rockets currently control their own destiny for the bottom spot in the NBA. That would guarantee them a top five pick in the NBA draft.
The Pelicans are sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, clinging to that final play-in spot while fending off challenges from the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers. The Pels have lost four straight games, so having a Houston team in town on a 9-game road losing streak is probably just the remedy they need.
