2024 NBA Preseason Picks & Predictions: Pelicans vs. Rockets
Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for Tuesday’s game.
Pelicans vs. Rockets
When Dejounte Murray and C.J. McCollum played against the Heat last time out, the New Orleans Pelicans were about -13 in just 21 minutes. That's not very encouraging for the Pelicans. Meanwhile, the Rockets' starting lineup hasn't played tremendously better. Yet, the bench looks way deeper. After all, Houston has Reed Sheppard and Cam Whitmore coming off the bench. Both are terrific scorers who are major threats. In addition, Houston's starting lineup is developing year after year and should take a jump and make the playoffs this season. I'm on Houston at -3.5 (-105).
Pick: Rockets -3.5 (-105)
