Pelicans Analysis: Currently on a 3 game winning stretch
This season, the New Orleans Pelicans are a strong playoff candidate and they come out of the post-All-Star Break in good shape. The Pelicans are currently 7-3 across their past 10 matches after winning their final 3 matches prior to the break. The team’s two stars, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, had health issues the previous season. However, this season, they have missed a combined total of only 15 contests, and the Pelicans are off to a 33-22 start thanks to their combined play. With more than 22 points scored per game and about 6 assists per match, Williamson and Ingram lead the squad in scoring and assists respectively. The Pelicans are taking a chance with their dynamic duo and a formidable group surrounding them because they haven’t made any big moves before the deadline.
Rockets Analysis: Struggling to find a good form
The Houston Rockets have lost 5 in their last 6 games prior to the week off going before the All-Star Break. They need to improve on their travels if they hope to challenge for a postseason berth this season, as they are currently only 3-7 in their previous 10 matches. This season, the Rockets have a strong home record of 19-9 but a dismal away record of 5-21. The club needs to find a way to overcome their road nemesis because they have more away games than home games left in the end. The Rockets will primarily rely on their youthful talents, such as center Alperen Sengun and guard Jalen Green, as they made no major acquisitions at the trade deadline other than the arrival of C Steven Adams, who will miss the remainder of the year.
