Jose Alvarado's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Chris Haynes of TNT, New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado will get a three-game suspension. During Friday's matchup between the Pelicans and Heat, several players from both clubs were involved in a scuffle, resulting in the league also handing down suspensions to Jimmy Butler, Naji Marshall, Thomas Bryant, and Nikola Jovic. With this in mind, Butler's one-game suspension will be the one felt most by fantasy managers. However, with CJ McCollum (ankle) sidelined for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, Alvarado was in line to benefit from a production standpoint. But now, Jordan Hawkins, averaging 17.3 points and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season, is worth streaming in all fantasy setups.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado was involved in a scuffle in Friday's game against Miami and was ejected from the contest early in the fourth quarter. After the teams clashed on the court following Kevin Love's foul on Zion Williamson, Alvarado got into a physical altercation with Miami's reserve big Thomas Bryant. The defensive specialist even tried to climb on the scorers' table during the scuffle. There are definitely fines coming from the incident, and Alvarado is in danger of receiving a suspension. His absence would be quite a blow for the Pelicans' backcourt after CJ McCollum (ankle) exited Friday's contest with an injury.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Alvarado sat out on Sunday because of the issue, but hopefully he's feeling better now. His return would mean that Dyson Daniels would see a reduced role in the rotation. He wasn't an ideal streaming option anyway, but he won't have much value at all if Alvarado is cleared to play.
