Jose Alvarado, the NBA’s best underdog story, leads Pelicans to 121-106 victory over Nuggets

When his playing days are in the rearview mirror, Jose Alvarado could go down as one of the best undrafted players in NBA history. Just how he climbs up the list, though, depends upon how often he makes an impact over the rest of his career. If tonight was any indication, he’s still just getting started.

The New Orleans Pelicans beat the Denver Nuggets 121-106 on Sunday evening because the game’s smallest player had the biggest impact, outshining a two-time MVP as well as teammate that is back on track to being regarded as one of the best to ever lace them up.
