Alvarado logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Alvarado closed the game Tuesday, providing the Pelicans with plenty of energy off the bench. He served as the primary ball handler down the stretch, making several key plays, particularly on the offensive end. He did appear to suffer two separate ankle injuries during the second half, something that the medical staff will be monitoring ahead of Friday's must-win matchup against either the Warriors or the Kings.

Alvarado (oblique) tallied 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes Sunday in the Pelicans' 113-105 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Given that he had missed the Pelicans' previous five games with a right oblique strain, Alvarado was expected to face some restrictions Sunday, but he ended up exceeding his season average of 17.8 minutes per contest. Alvarado may continue to have a path to a 20-plus-minute role until the Pelicans get Brandon Ingram (knee) back from injury, likely at some point during the upcoming week.

Alvarado (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Alvarado left Tuesday's loss to the Thunder in the fourth quarter due to right hip soreness but is now listed with a right oblique strain. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Boston, but depending on how severe the strain is, Alvarado may be looking at a multi-game absence. In Alvarado's stead, Jordan Hawkins could carve out meaningful minutes again, especially with Brandon Ingram (knee) sidelined for a few weeks.
