Through 3 Quarters

The Houston Rockets are giving their home crowd exactly what it was hoping to see. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans 94-85.

The Rockets have been relying on shooting guard Eric Gordon, who has 23 points and five assists, and power forward Christian Wood, who has shot 5-for-6 from downtown and has recorded 22 points and five boards. Gordon is close to surpassing his season high of 24. One thing to keep an eye out for is Alperen Sengun's foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Small forward Brandon Ingram has led the way so far for New Orleans, as he has 33 points along with five rebounds.

New Orleans has lost 94% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

Get ready for a Southwest Division battle as the Houston Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans will face off at 7 p.m. ET Sunday at Toyota Center. Houston is out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.

It was a close one, but this past Friday the Rockets sidestepped the Orlando Magic for a 118-116 win. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Houston can attribute much of their success to power forward Christian Wood, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 14 rebounds, and shooting guard Eric Gordon, who had 24 points.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between New Orleans and the Dallas Mavericks this past Friday was still a pretty decisive one as New Orleans wrapped it up with a 107-91 victory on the road. New Orleans can attribute much of their success to small forward Brandon Ingram, who almost posted a triple-double on 24 points, 12 assists, and eight boards.

The Rockets are now 6-16 while the Pelicans sit at 7-18. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Houston is fourth worst in the league in points allowed per game, with 112 on average. New Orleans has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.30% from the floor on average, which is the third highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
