Houston has covered four straight as an underdog, and it already had a convincing win over the Pelicans, 126-112, on Jan. 30. The Rockets look to bounce back from a horrible shooting game while losing at Charlotte on Monday night for only their third loss in 10 games. New Orleans has won three in a row, but it's only 1-7 ATS its last eight games as a home favorite and 2-6 ATS as a favorite overall. The Rockets have covered five of their last seven road games, and they're expected to have Christian Wood and Eric Gordon back tonight after they had the night off on Monday. Look for this matchup to go to the wire. Take the points with the Rockets.
