Jordan Poole

With Trey Murphy and Herb Jones both unavailable Friday, Jordan Poole drew his fifth start of the season and first since November 4, finishing with 16 points (5-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six assists, one rebound, and four three-pointers in New Orleans' loss to Portland. The guard hoisted 11 of his 16 shot attempts from deep and paced the Pelicans in assists.

Despite barely holding onto a top-150 ranking in eight-category formats, many managers are banking on Poole carving out a more prominent role, though that opportunity may not materialize in New Orleans.

Jordan Poole provided a significant offensive spark in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls, matching his output from the previous game with 26 points (6-of-14 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs) while adding three rebounds, two assists, and four three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite continuing to come off the bench, Poole has been a focal point of the offense recently, scoring exactly 26 points in back-to-back contests. His perfect night from the charity stripe (10-of-10) boosted his value even further. While his production has been volatile throughout the season, this recent stretch highlights the high scoring upside he offers fantasy managers when he finds his rhythm. He will look to keep the streak alive against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Poole is dealing with an ankle injury right now and will be sidelined on Tuesday night as a result. His next chance to play will come on Friday against the Suns, and both Jose Alvarado and Jeremiah Fears will see more work until then.

Jordan Poole (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Poole is at risk of missing Tuesday's game because of some soreness in his left ankle. If the team rules him out because of it, look for Jose Alvarado and Micah Peavy to see more work as a result of his absence.

Jordan Poole scored 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with one rebound, three assists, one steal and one block in the Pelicans 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

Poole made his return from a nine-game absence. He came off the bench, but still finished the night second in scoring in the Pelicans rotation. He should continue to split the minutes with Jeremiah Fears in the back court for New Orleans.
