Alvarado ended Monday's 103-90 victory over Brooklyn with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block across nine minutes.
Alvarado returned to action after missing four straight games due to an ankle injury, but he didn't make much of a statistical impact in limited action. The backup guard can be a spark plug on any night, but his production is sporadic, making him a better real-world player than a fantasy option.
