Reaches double figures again Alvarado finished with 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's 117-109 loss to the Celtics...
Impact Despite a poor shooting performance from distance, Alvarado ratcheted up the volume to hit double figures in the scoring column for the fourth game in a row. Though Alvarado has delivered most of his fantasy value in the assists, steals and three-pointers categories, his willingness of late to put up more shots can only be seen as a positive development for his outlook. Friday's game aside, Alvarado has typically gotten his points efficiently; he's shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from three-point range on the season.

Struggles with efficiency in loss Alvarado posted three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Alvarado has cooled down from his early-season scoring but is still shooting 40.0 percent from three on 3.3 attempts per game. Alvarado has been a quality backup point guard for the Pelicans this season, especially considering his defensive contributions.

Efficient scoring in loss Alvarado tallied 15 points (6-8), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 120-117 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Alvarado's 15 points marked a season-high. The second-year guard has enjoyed increased playing time due to injuries to Brandon Ingram (concussion), Herbert Jones (knee) and Kira Lewis (knee). While Alvarado is not a consistent scorer, his 42.3 percent shooting from three through seven games is a huge improvement on his 29.1 percent from last season.

Returns to bench Alvarado will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Impact With Zion Williamson (hip) drawing back into the starting five Sunday, Alvarado's two-game run in the starting five will come to an end. Alvarado averaged 13.5 points, 3.0 assists, 2.5 three-pointers, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in in 27.5 minutes between those starts, and even though he's back on the bench, he shouldn't see a significant dip in playing time with two other regular starters in Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Herbert Jones (knee) still out of the lineup.

Will play Friday Alvarado is available for Friday's contest against the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact As expected, Alvarado will be good to go despite being listed as questionable due to a back injury. Brandon Ingram (concussion), Zion Williamson (hip) and Herbert Jones (knee) all remain out, so Alvarado will likely draw a second straight start. The backup point guard posted 13 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during his first start of the season Tuesday.

Likely available Friday Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Alvarado (back) will more than likely play Friday against the Suns, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Barring a setback during warmups, it appears like Alvarado and CJ McCollum (finger) will suit up Friday. However, Herbert Jones (knee) and Zion Williamson (hip) remain true game-time decisions. Across four appearances (one start), Alvarado has averaged 8.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.3 minutes per game.
OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Friday Alvarado (back spasms) is listed questionable for Friday's matchup against the Suns.
Impact Alvarado started the previous game with Herbert Jones (knee), Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Zion Williamson (hip) out and played 26 minutes, recording 13 points, three assists and three steals. Accompanying Alvarado as new additions to Friday's injury report are Dyson Daniels (ankle) and CJ McCollum (finger).

Murphy leads under-manned Pelicans past Mavericks, 113-111

Set to start Tuesday Alvarado is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.
Impact Alvarado will make his second career start with Herbert Jones (knee), Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Zion Williamson (hip) all out. Alvarado will start alongside CJ McCollum in the backcourt, but the former is more of a defensive specialist and shouldn't be counted upon for high-volume production.
OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Impressive off bench Alvarado finished with 28 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes in Friday's exhibition against Detroit.
Impact Alvarado led the team in scoring and wasn't afraid to let it fly from the field, also leading the squad in attempts. He figures to be in line for a key bench role behind CJ McCollum as the season approaches, as he's shown plenty of potential on both sides of the ball.

Resting after heavy workload Alvarado won't take the floor during Tuesday's Summer League contest versus Atlanta, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Alvarado played a lot recently with the Puerto Rican National Team, and the Pelicans don't want to overload him during the summer session. Per Will Guillory of The Athletic, Alvarado is likely done for the remainder of Summer League and will instead presumably shift his focus to training camp in the fall. The second-year guard is fresh off signing a multi-year contract with the Pelicans and should log plenty of minutes off the bench again in 2022-23.
