In contrast to last season's 8.0 rate, Jose Alvarado's shots have diminished this season to 6.0 per game.The Pelicans have played at the 3rd-slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 20 games as the road team.The Orlando Magic have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the league over the last 25 games, which should decrease possessions for the New Orleans Pelicans.The New Orleans Pelicans rank as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Jose Alvarado has made a measly 69.7% of his free throws this year, significantly lower than his 84.3 rate last year.
