• Wizards' Jordan Poole: Catches fire from downtown

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Poole totaled 26 points (8-19 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 loss to the Bucks. Although he turned the ball over a game-high seven times, Poole caught fire from three-point land with eight triples and led the Wizards with 26 points Saturday. Over his last nine games, Poole is averaging 21.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 3.8 three-pointers per contest. Giveaways and subpar shooting efficiency could remain a problem for the 25-year-old combo guard while Kyle Kuzma (ribs) remains sidelined, but Poole shouldn't struggle to put up points and treys for fantasy managers as Washington's clear-cut top option on offense going forward.

• Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leads team to victory

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Poole provided 27 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 win over the Hornets. Poole's efficient scoring helped him post a team-high 27 points during Thursday's victory. Through his first 23 appearances this season, the 25-year-old guard is averaging a career-high 20.6 points per contest. Poole's productive scoring is largely due to him shooting 39.8 percent on 8.1 three-point attempts per game.

• Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leading scorer in Sunday's loss

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Poole accumulated a team-high 21 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Celtics. The 25-year-old guard continues to struggle with his consistency. Poole has scored 20-plus points in three of eight games since missing a couple of contests in late November due to a sore hip, but he's also scored 11 points or less three times in that span. Over that stretch, Poole's averaging 18.6 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.4 steals, but he's shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 31.4 percent from long distance.

• Wizards' Jordan Poole: Active hands defensively Friday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Poole ended Friday's 115-105 loss to Cleveland with 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes. Poole took a back seat to teammate Bilal Coulibaly's 27 points as Washington hung with the Cavaliers on Friday, but that didn't prevent him from filling up the box score and making a big impact on the defensive side of the floor, which isn't always his strong suit. Poole's scoring has been erratic lately, but overall, he's averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game across his last nine contests. Volatility could remain a common theme for the 25-year-old combo guard throughout the season with the 3-20 Wizards, but Poole's efficiency could get a bump when Kyle Kuzma (ribs) gets healthy enough to help with the playmaking duties.

• Wizards' Jordan Poole: Regresses with nine points

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Poole notched nine points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 loss to Memphis. Washington's fortunes depend on productive evenings from Poole, so Sunday's result was a definite disappointment. It's an outlier for the sixth-year pro, as he's dipped below double-digit scoring totals only three times this season. Washington's overall quality of play will naturally make Poole's production more volatile than other guards in the league, but he's demonstrated explosiveness with a trio of 30-point games, including a season-high 42 points.
