Houston Rockets playmaker Amen Thompson is set to undergo an MRI after sustaining a left ankle injury during their victory against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to The Athletic’s Kelly Iko.

Led by Alperen Sengun, the Rockets easily covered the spread in New Orleans. Thus, there’s a larger number (-7.5) for Saturday’s rematch in Houston.

Dillon Brooks had 27 points, Alperen Sengun and Aaron Holiday added 20 each and the Houston Rockets sailed to a 146-117 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans trailed 39-28 at the end of the first quarter and 74-58 at halftime. The 74 points allowed were just shy of the season-high 77 points given up in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder back in early December.

On Sunday night in New Orleans, Grizzlies star Ja Morant attempted to give Memphis the spark of a lifetime. Morant had a great night, dropping 32 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals to lead the Grizzlies to a win,
