Leads team with 19 points Alvarado registered 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four steals and two assists across 20 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to the Celtics.

Impact After largely being excluded from the rotation through the first two-plus months of the season, Alvarado has wrested the backup point guard job from Tomas Satoransky since the calendar flipped to January. Not only has Alvarado played well enough to solidify his position on the second unit, but he could begin to eat into starter Devonte' Graham's minutes if he continues to play at a high level. Over his last five games -- including one contest in which Graham sat out due to injury -- Alvarado is averaging an impressive 9.6 points (on 50 percent shooting from the field), 2.6 assists, 2.4 steals, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes. The two-way rookie from Georgia Tech has firmly put himself on the radar in 14-team leagues and deeper, and he could soon gain relevance in shallower formats if the Pelicans elect to de-prioritize Graham in the weeks to come.

Solid line in first start Alvarado produced 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech made his first career start with Devonte' Graham, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart out with ankle injuries, and he tied for the team lead in assists and blocks. It was the first time all season Alvarado played more than 20 minutes in a game, and his role for Friday's matchup with Denver will depend on the health of the Pelicans' starting backcourt.

Starting Tuesday Alvarado will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Alvarado is getting his first career start as the Pelicans deal with a myriad of injuries across the roster. He's earned the trust of the coaching staff lately and has played 10-plus minutes in 10 straight games. Per 36 minutes, he's averaging 11.9 points, 5.9 assists, 3.8 steals and 3.6 rebounds.

Scores career-high 13 points Alvarado ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists and four steals over 20 minutes during Thursday's 102-91 win over New York.

Impact The rookie was efficient en route to the first double-digit scoring performance of his career. He logged a plus-12 in the box score, leading the second unit. A G League floater, Alvarado has seen steadily increasing playing time throughout January. He has a path for minutes as the backup point guard in New Orleans.

Valanciunas, Hart lead Pelicans past Knicks, 102-91

Solid peripheral numbers Thursday Alvarado registered four points (2-3 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals over 15 minutes during Thursday's 113-89 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Alvarado played 15 minutes off the bench in the victory but came away with some nice peripheral production. Garbage time was a factor here, but Alvarado is proving to be a name worth watching, at least in deeper formats. Nickeil Alexander-Walker (six points and one block in 21 minutes) has offered very little as the backup point guard, meaning Alvarado could be in line for a short-term boost in playing time.
