The Houston Rockets need to win every game they possibly can as the season starts to wind down. That includes a matchup tonight against a team that’s been annoying this year in the New Orleans Pelicans.
The division rival has won two of the three games this year, including a 19-point blowout on opening night and a game where Anthony Davis was out and Jahlil Okafor stepped up and dropped 27 points and 12 rebounds. They have looked like a completely different team against the Rockets this season.
One player that always seems to have an impact against Houston is Julius Randle.
