Welcome to Saturday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 3/8! We’re getting to the home stretch, which means plenty of names you potentially haven’t heard of are making themselves known. I’ll clue you into who we should be eyeing for adds. Check it out below!

Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Jose Alvarado, PG, NO (16% rostered)

Tonight: 23 minutes, 17 points (7-of-16 FG), two triples, four rebounds, seven assists and one steal. 

Analysis: Alvarado finally woke up and had his best game in March.  The Pelicans are on a weekend b2b and considering he was questionable for Saturday, it’s possible he sits Sunday.  With the Pelicans perpetually banged up, he has streaming value as long as he stays aggressive.  The Pelicans only play three games next week, but they are on low volume days, so Alvarado does have some nice value.
