Pelicans vs. Rockets Pregame Report 2/22/2024

Allstar break is over and the Pelicans are kicking off the stretch run tonight against the Houston Rockets in the Smoothie King Center Welcome to our Pelicans pregame report presented by iata aaran Summers the Pelicans went into the break on a hot streak and one thing is for sure coming out of it they

Have one goal in mind and that is solidifying that playoff spot getting out of a playin game and finishing top six in the west so I think for us it’s about taking advantage of these you know 27 games we got left wi as many as we

Can and just try to control our own destiny in terms of not having to to worry about that at all that’d be good for us to be able to game plan get some rest and have some practices before the playoffs start New Orleans currently sits at sixth in a tight Western

Conference race the first challenge ahead is the Houston Rockets who while they struggle a little bit offensively to remain consistent defensively they’re rated six in the league one spot ahead of the Pelicans tonight it’s going to be about making sure you’re limiting those turnovers the offensive rebound in

Crashing the glass not allowing easy opportunities for a Houston Squad to score yeah I mean they compete um they well coach they compete they got a lot of talent Jaylen Green’s playing extremely well Brooks great defender uh s goon is like Baby Joker as far as thear JR is really good

They got talent Off the Bench they got the twin they got a little holiday and they got a good team they they’re well coached and they’re capable of beating anybody so we guys ready I think the first two practices um coming from break were really good um coach Willie Green

Uh said that we need to be locked in this practice these two practices and I think that’s where we were we communicated we were hooping and I think it went really well the Rockets come into this game healthier than they’ve been in quite a while with Fred Van

Vleet and cam Whitmore both goes tonight for the Pelicans they have two questionable in Brandon Ingram and Cody Zeller it’ll all start tonight with a back toback tomorrow against the Heat got to get this win first 7:00 Valley Sports New Orleans or you can tune in w995
