The Rockets-Pelicans game tips at 6 p.m. CDT and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
There’s a greater sense of urgency for the Pelicans, who enter with four straight losses and are clinging to a one-game lead for the Western Conference’s final play-in tournament spot for the 2022 playoffs.
Yet, New Orleans appears likely to be short-handed — with big names such as Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum still unavailable.
For the rebuilding Rockets, it’s an opportunity for their young core to keep getting better. They should have some reinforcements on the way, since starting center Christian Wood (illness) and starting forward Jae’Sean Tate (left ankle sprain) are no longer on Houston’s injury list. Each had missed multiple games in recent days with those conditions.
Christian Wood back at practice Rockets today. Missed past three games with an illness.
