• Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Hands out six dimes as starter

  14H ago • By RotoWire

  Alvarado produced eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 victory over the Timberwolves. Alvarado was promoted to a starting role due to the season-ending injury of Trey Murphy (shoulder). He did a good job running the offense, as the presence of a true floor general generated even more opportunities for the likes of Zion Williamson, Yves Missi and Bruce Brown, the three standout performers in Wednesday's game. Alvarado will likely remain the Pelicans' starting point guard as long as he stays healthy.
