It’s a fairly simple meeting that awaits Houston during the night from Sunday to Monday. At 2 a.m., the Texan franchise hosts New Orleans. The objective is to switch to 25-15, so as to have two successes in a row, which has not happened since the start of the new year. Falling from the Wolves with a score of 110-105, the Rockets found a high level of performance against a direct competitor in the top 6. The group coached by Ime Udoka must no longer turn back, especially against an opponent as weak on paper. In addition, Kevin Durant’s partners will rely on a 12th man, still just as influential in Houston’s results. Everything comes together to make the evening end well for the locals!
The season is once again difficult for New Orleans. Even if some good matches were played under the direction of James Borrego, the record in 2026 is close to disaster: 8 defeats in 10 matches. The latest one? On the Pacers floor, with more than 120 points conceded in 48 minutes. Whether away or when the opposing team plays at a higher level, NOLA cannot keep up. Even with the return of Zion Williamson, our experts don’t see how the Pels can topple Houston.
