Fresh off a relatively successful week with two wins in four games, the young Houston Rockets will look to take that momentum on the road when they visit New Orleans on Sunday night. If you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
There’s a greater sense of urgency for the Pelicans, who enter with four straight losses and are clinging to a one-game lead for the Western Conference’s final play-in tournament spot for the 2022 playoffs.
For the rebuilding Rockets, it’s an opportunity for their young core to keep getting better. They should have some reinforcements on the way, since starting center Christian Wood (illness) and starting forward Jae’Sean Tate (left ankle sprain) are no longer on Houston’s injury list. Each had missed multiple games in recent days with those conditions.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, appear likely to be short-handed — with big names such as Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum unavailable.
Christian Wood said he had the flu – a fever and strep throat. He’s using practice today and shootaround tomorrow to get his wind back but he said he will be good to play tomorrow in New Orleans.
