Jose Alvarado Steals Prop is currently Over/Under 1.5 (+125/-155).
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
Jose Alvarado has compiled a terrific 1.5 steals per game this year, a big improvement over his 1.1 steals per game last year.
The 5th-quickest pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Pelicans.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Pelicans are expected to suffer a reduction in plays today from being pitted against the 4th-least up-tempo tempo home offense in the league over the last 15 games (the Charlotte Hornets).
Jose Alvarado will not hold the home court advantage in this contest. Playing away from your home city generally lowers player production across the board.
