Houston Rockets head into New Orleans as heavy favorites against a short-handed Pelicans squad on Sunday, bolstered by their No. 2 Western Conference standing at 43-25 and a recent 107-105 head-to-head win over New Orleans on March 13. Pelicans (25-50) face uncertainty with Dejounte Murray (left hand contusion) and Trey Murphy III (right ankle sprain) both questionable per latest injury reports, alongside Bryce McGowens out (toe); their absence could cripple backcourt depth and scoring. Rockets counter without Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams but ride momentum from a potential second straight win, with playoff seeding implications heightening stakes amid a tight race with Nuggets and Grizzlies. Home-court offers Pelicans minor edge, though their poor form tempers trader optimism.
