The New Orleans Pelicans will tip off their third game of the preseason against the Houston Rockets early Sunday morning. The matchup will be televised live (finally!) on NBAtv at 6:30 am central time. The Pelicans enter the contest with a win and loss on the schedule while the Rockets boast a perfect 2-0 record.
The game is sure to be a special one for the Pelicans not only because it marks the team’s first trip to China but also features Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon facing their former squad for the first time since changing jerseys during the latest free agency period.
