Knicks' Jose Alvarado: Won't debut Friday
Alvarado (not injury related) will not debut Friday against the Pistons.
Alvarado was acquired by the Knicks at the trade deadline, but his debut won't happen until Sunday in Boston, at the earliest. With Miles McBride (abdominal) sidelined indefinitely, Alvarado is expected to slot in as the backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson.

Knicks' Jose Alvarado: Traded to New York
The Pelicans traded Alvarado to the Knicks on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Dalen Terry and two second-round picks will head to New Orleans.
Alvarado was heavily linked to the Knicks in recent weeks, so it's not a surprise to see this come to fruition. The Knicks do have a quality backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson in Miles McBride (ankle), but the latter has struggled to stay healthy. Alvarado will bolster New York's backcourt depth after averaging 7.9 points, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes across 41 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans. He's questionable to make his debut Friday against the Pistons.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Logs 30 minutes in loss
Alvarado finished with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.
Alvarado saw at least 30 minutes for just the sixth time this season, although he failed to have any sort of tangible impact. While he does provide the Pelicans with an energetic on-court presence, his efforts often go unrewarded in terms of fantasy value. In seven appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.0 points, 3.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Takes on 13-minute role in return
Alvarado (oblique) tallied six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes Sunday in the Pelicans' 104-95 win over the Spurs.
Following a nine-game absence due to an oblique strain, Alvarado made his return to action Sunday and reclaimed a spot on the Pelicans' second unit. When healthy, Alvarado has mostly served as the top backup at point guard to Jeremiah Fears, but the two played alongside one another off the bench while interim head coach James Borrego dropped Jordan Poole from the rotation and ran out a starting five lacking a true point guard. Borrego could shake up the lineup at some point, but Alvarado seems likely to continue operating off the bench and could struggle to regain a consistent 20-plus-minute role while the Pelicans have all their key contributors available, save for Dejounte Murray (Achilles).

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Ready to play Sunday
Alvarado (oblique) will be available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Alvarado will make his return to action for the first time since Jan. 6 after missing nine consecutive games while recovering from a left oblique strain. Over his last five appearances prior to getting hurt, Alvarado has averaged 5.8 points, 3.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Chance to return Sunday
Alvarado (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Antonio.
Alvarado has been sidelined since Jan. 6 due to a strained left oblique, but the backup guard has a chance at returning Sunday. Considering he's missed nine consecutive games, Alvarado could have his minutes monitored once cleared for game action. If he's able to play Sunday, he could cut into the workloads of Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole, while Jordan Hawkins would likely have a tougher time cracking the rotation.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Likely to miss two more weeks
Pelicans interim head coach James Borrego said Monday that Alvarado (oblique) is "closer to two weeks away" from playing again, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
Alvarado has already missed three games in a row due to a left oblique strain, and the Pelicans seemingly want to give him even more time to get the issue resolved. While Alvarado remains sidelined, Jeremiah Fears should have a higher minutes floor as the Pelicans' starting point guard, and players such as Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens could also have longer leashes in the rotation.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Remains out Sunday
Alvarado (oblique) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Alvarado will miss a third straight game due to this injury, and Sunday's absence will also mark the fifth game he's been sidelined over the Pelicans' last eight contests. The veteran guard will aim to return against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Won't play Friday
Alvarado is out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to left oblique soreness.
The guard's next chance to end a two-game absence comes Sunday in Orlando. After playing 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 loss to the Hawks, Bryce McGowens stands out as the direct fantasy beneficiary of Alvarado's absence from the New Orleans backcourt.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Ruled out for Wednesday
Alvarado will not suit up for Wednesday's game in Atlanta due to left oblique soreness.
The 27-year-old veteran is getting the night off on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but considering he's just dealing with some soreness in his oblique, there's a decent chance he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game against the Wizards. With Alvarado watching from the sidelines Wednesday night, Jordan Hawkins might be able to get into the rotation.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Sees 20 minutes in loss
Alvarado ended with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Heat.
Alvarado continues to be a hit-or-miss streaming option in deeper formats. Over his last six games, he's averaging 6.0 points, 2.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Handed two-game ban
The NBA issued Alvarado a two-game suspension engaging in a physical altercation with the Suns' Mark Williams during Saturday's 123-114 loss to Phoenix, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Alvarado was ejected from Saturday's contest after throwing a punch at Williams following an exchange ignited by a screen. The veteran point guard will miss games Monday against the Knicks and Wednesday in Chicago before he's eligible to return to action Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Ejected Saturday
Alvarado was ejected from Saturday's game against the Suns after engaging in a physical altercation with Mark Williams, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Alvarado got upset with Williams over a tough screen and both players quickly exchanged punches, with Alvarado landing one on Williams before the scuffle was stopped by several players who surrounded it. Alvarado posted seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists and two steals across 14 minutes off the bench.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Hands out six dimes
Alvarado closed with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime victory over Houston.
Alvarado has been a bright spot for the second unit this season, and with a bargain-bin contract, it's no surprise that his name has popped up in the rumor mill with contenders circling. Over his last five outings, Alvarado has averaged 5.8 assists per game to go with 6.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Dishes six assists in loss
Alvarado finished Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
In addition to scoring 10 points on two threes made, Alvarado also notched his second block of the season and extended his streak of games with at least one steal to four. Alvarado has been important for New Orleans, backing up rookie Jeremiah Fears off the bench and averaging 13.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.6 threes on a 40.4 percent clip across 28.3 minutes in his last eight games.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Scores 13 points with two steals
Alvarado (elbow) returned to Thursday's game and finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and two turnovers across 22 minutes in a 125-116 loss to the Timberwolves.
Alvarado suffered a stinger to his left elbow late in the fourth quarter that caused him to retreat to the locker room, but he checked back into the game a short while later and was on the floor for the final two minutes of regulation, so it seems like he's fine. Alvarado has scored in double figures and hit multiple triples in three straight, and he'll look to make it four in a row Saturday in Brooklyn.
