Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Continues solid play Monday
Jose Alvarado had 18 points (4-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and six assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Trail Blazers.Alvarado has struggled from the field over the past two games, going 7-for-26. However, he's 9-for-9 from the charity stripe during those games and has contributed 13 assists to two turnovers. Alvarado should continue seeing an increased role for as long as CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) are sidelined, which should be at least another week and a half -- likely longer. Fantasy managers can look to Alvarado as a solid source of assists and steals.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Steps in at point guard
Jose Alvarado provided 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 loss to Golden State.The New Orleans Pelicans have experimented with a mix of CJ McCollum (leg) and Brandon Ingram as their primary ballhandlers to make up for the absence Dejounte Murray (hand), but the team was forced to take another approach with McCollum sidelined Wednesday. Alvarado had a solid line in his first start, and though the Pelicans fell behind early, he was able to complete a diverse line with contributions in every major category. The Pelicans will await news on McCollum after his MRI, and how much further time McCollum misses -- or doesn't miss -- will likely be a significant factor in whether Alvarado sees major minutes moving forward.
