Rockets vs Pelicans Matchup and Head to Head

The Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans matchup lacks the deep playoff history of classic NBA rivalries, with the teams never meeting in the postseason through the 2025-2026 season. Their encounters have been confined to regular season battles since the Pelicans franchise began playing as the New Orleans Hornets in 2002-03, producing competitive NBA games across two decades.

Notable moments include the Pelicans' 105-100 victory over the Rockets on April 16, 2014, at their home venue, and a dominant 90-69 win on March 19, 2008. These games highlight periods of Southwest Division intensity where both teams vied for playoff positioning.

The Rockets bring championship pedigree to the series, having captured back-to-back NBA titles in 1994 and 1995 during Hakeem Olajuwon's era, followed by 34 total postseason appearances through the 2024-2025 season. In contrast, the Pelicans franchise has reached the playoffs only 9 times in the same period, winning their first series since 2008 by sweeping Portland in the 2018 first round.

No such game occurred on January 18, 2026; the last game was on December 18, 2025, when the Pelicans defeated the Rockets 133-128 in overtime at New Orleans.

Legendary Players:

  • Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon (two-time NBA champion), Yao Ming (eight-time All-Star), Tracy McGrady (Hall of Famer), Calvin Murphy (scoring champion).

  • Pelicans: Chris Paul (multiple All-NBA), Anthony Davis (All-Star forward), Zion Williamson (dynamic scorer), Jrue Holiday (defensive standout).
