Houston has won 20 of its last 21 games and is in a rare revenge situation as it lost to the Pelicans on Jan. 26 even though James Harden and Chris Paul combined for 61 points. New Orleans shot 53.7 percent and Anthony Davis scored 27 points with 11 rebounds. Actually, the Pelicans have been playing better on the road than at home lately as they swept a four-game trip and then came home and lost two in a row to Washington and Utah. The Pelicans are 0-4 ATS their last four games, including Thursday's 98-93 defeat at San Antonio when they shot only 40 percent from the field. The Rockets have covered six straight after an ATS loss and are 8-1 ATS their last nine road contests. The Pelicans are 0-4 ATS their last four with one day of rest. Take the Rockets.
