The New Orleans Pelicans will tip off against the Houston Rockets, who are riding the NBA’s longest current winning streak at five games, at the top of the hour.
The Pelicans will be without Josh Hart (left knee soreness) for a third straight contest. Willie Green said in pregame that Hart wasn’t able to do much in yesterday’s practice, largely being relegated to the weight room.
Zion Williamson (right foot surgery) remains out, not making an appearance in the 2021-22 season yet.
New Orleans will go with a starting lineup of Devonte’ Graham, Garrett Temple, Brandon Ingram, Herb Jones and Jonas Valanciunas.
