Jose Alvarado

Jose Alvarado intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarado declined his player option to gain more security. The Knicks made it a priority to retain him following the role he had off the bench in the team's run to a championship.

Jose Alvarado agreed to move his $4.5 million player option from June 22 to June 26.

Fantasy Impact

The Knicks will get a chance to assess their trade options for picks No. 24 and 31 in this week’s NBA Draft.

Jose Alvarado scored 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3P) with five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block in the Knicks’ 110-96 loss to the Hornets on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarado had his typical all-around game against the Hornets, but was able to put up more stats than usual thanks to the Knicks resting their starters. He should continue to see a decent amount of minutes off the bench, but his contribution on the stat sheets will likely be less.

Jose Alvarado scored 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3P) with a rebound and two assists in the Knicks’ 111-94 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarado led the Knicks bench in the bad loss, but don’t let that fool you to picking him up. He’s a better real life asset than fantasy, and he should be left on waivers with fantasy championships at stake.

Jose Alvarado will not make his debut with the Knicks on Friday against the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarado was traded to the Knicks ahead of the deadline on Thursday. His next opportunity will be on Sunday against the Celtics.
