Something for perspective. Despite a better record many Lakers fans/media are hating this season. They’ve said they had more fun with the baby Lakers who were bad. Enjoy moments like tonight with Jose Alvarado and all season with Herb Jones. There is a journey to all this as well – 11:47 PM

Brandon Ingram missed the 4th quarter against the Knicks with a sprained right ankle.
Sources told ESPN there are no plans to do an MRI at the moment and the Pels will see how his ankle feels when they get home before taking any further steps.

Given circumstances, tonight was one of the worst losses of this Knicks season. NOP led comfortably for most of the game. Former Christ The King star Jose Alvarado hurt NYK all night off the bench. He had 13 points, 4 steals, 4 assists & helped quell late NYK comeback attempt – 10:00 PM

Pelicans beat the Knicks 102-91. They finish the 3-game road trip with a much-needed victory, beating an Eastern Conference team on the road for just the second time in 10 games this season. Thank you Jose Alvarado!

No lie. Jose Alvarado, who is on a two-way contract, has made the biggest impact in this game for the Pelicans. His play in this fourth quarter is going to be directly responsible for the Pels likely escaping with a win. – 9:51 PM

I was going to lead with Brandon Ingram looking awesome and in command of the game. But this run Jose Alvarado is on is the bigger story so he’s gonna be the first segment – 9:49 PM

Too much dribbling by Herb right there. Wow. Pelicans really trying to give this one away. Lead is down to 10 points, but it feels a lot closer with how poor New Orleans has been on the offensive end this quarter. – 9:45 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Knicks have suddenly made this one interesting down the stretch. They just cut the lead to 94-84 with 3:35 left.
Willie Green has held off on putting BI back in the game with his ankle issue. It’s gonna be a tough decision for him here with the offense struggling. – 9:44 PM

Not sure if there is a more emblematic representation of the Knicks’ performance tonight than a Herb Jones dunk with 2:07 left in the second quarter.
RJ Barrett nailed a 3 to tie it at 37. And the Pels got a dunk in transition seconds later. Off a made 3. – 9:07 PM

What a hustle play by Jose Alvarado, taking advantage of three stationary Knicks to pick up ball and get a layup. We’ve seen him do that multiple times lately, where guys are standing around watching the ball as he grabs it – 8:01 PM

The Pelicans are out of town all week, so if you’re looking to get out of the cold and watch some hoops, I recommend heading to the Lakefront.
@UNOPrivateers play tonight at 7 and Saturday at 4.

Tom Thibodeau called Herb Jones “a terrific basketball player.”
Rookie’s offensive numbers have crept up recently. Jones is averaging 14.4 points (53.8% FG) (45.7% 3, 3.2 attempts) since Dec. 26. Scored in double figures in 10 of 11 games. – 6:11 PM

Devonte’ Graham’s status is still uncertain for tonight’s game at New York. He was listed as questionable. Willie Green said Graham will warm up and a decision will be made. Graham has started every game since Nov. 24 – 6:07 PM

Devonte Graham will go out and warm up and he’ll see if he can go after that, Willie Green says.

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Tom Thibodeau on #Pelicans: “Valanciunas and Ingram are very dynamic players. Valanciunas has evolved, adding the 3 and he’s always been a load in the post, very skilled. Ingram is special. A guy we can’t overlook is Hart. He’s a tough matchup, a physical player.” – 5:49 PM
Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Thibodeau said Cam Reddish will play “any day now.” – 5:47 PM

📅 On this day in 1988, the Sonics’ Xavier McDaniel established career highs for points (41), rebounds (19), and steals (6) in a win over the Knicks.
He’s the only player to record at least 40p/15r/5s in a game for the franchise since the NBA started tracking steals in 1973-74. pic.twitter.com/qxnw5Nk9iw – 2:01 PM
