FAQ

Rockets vs Pelicans questions

How often do the Rockets and Pelicans play each other?

The Houston Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans meet four times every regular season, twice at each arena. The NBA's 82-game schedule is fixed by relationship rather than drawn each year: sixteen games against the four clubs in your own division, which is why the Southwest pairings are the ones that come round most.

Are the Rockets and Pelicans in the same division?

Yes. The Houston Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans both play in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference. A division is five clubs, so Rockets vs Pelicans is one of the ten pairings that division is made of, and it is the pairing type the NBA schedules most often.

What is at stake when the Rockets play the Pelicans?

Seeding, and the Southwest Division itself. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker the NBA applies between two clubs that finish level, so if the Rockets and the Pelicans end the season on the same record these four games settle it between them. Division record is the tiebreaker after that, and both clubs’ division records are built partly out of this same fixture. A division title is worth the tiebreaker rather than a guaranteed seed — the league dropped the guarantee in 2015 — so the standing these games move is the conference one.

Can the Rockets and Pelicans meet in the playoffs?

Yes. Both clubs are in the Western Conference, so a Rockets vs Pelicans playoff series is possible anywhere from the first round through the Western Conference Finals, on top of the regular-season meetings — and they can meet in the play-in tournament before that if both finish seventh to tenth.

Where can I follow the Rockets and Pelicans for the rest of the season?

Every Rockets and Pelicans game Kalshi lists has its own market page, with the moneyline, the spread, the total and the player props built on that fixture. The NBA market index carries the rest of the league, and the matchup index carries every other pairing the Houston Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans are in.
