We're taking the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday to win and cover on the road against the Houston Rockets.

Rapid Breakdown

• It's been back-to-back wins now for the Houston Rockets heading into Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, but they were somewhat fortunate against the Celtics and Lakers respectively in those games, catching them on super-cool nights and without some of their target men also. Both Boston and Los Angeles had really sub-par nights from beyond the arc especially, down 9% respectively from their season averages.
• The Pelicans have run hot and cold themselves over recent games, winning and losing in blowout fashion across each of their last three matchups. However, New Orleans ranks as a top-ten team this season in terms of defensive efficiency and opponent floor % also, and should have more than enough to limit the league's worst shooting team in Houston tonight.
• The Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings against the Rockets and 5-2 ATS in their last seven in Houston also.
