Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Struggles with three-point shot
Jordan Poole notched 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over the Pacers.On the surface, Poole had a solid performance in 32 minutes. However, the fact that he went 1-for-7 from three-point range limited his fantasy upside. Poole is a proven scorer at the NBA level, but he's likely to continue coming off the bench for the foreseeable future. Poole has scored at least 15 points off the bench in his four outings since his return from injury on Dec. 11.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Continues to come off bench
Jordan Poole had 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 25 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime win over the Rockets.The New Orleans Pelicans appear to be content with Poole in a bench role for now, with the combo guard riding with the second unit in three straight games following an extended absence with a quadriceps strain. During this period, Poole has averaged 17.7 points, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 25.9 minutes per game and should continue to see his playing time rise as he becomes further removed from the injury.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Provides lift off bench in return
Jordan Poole (quadriceps) tallied 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.Back in action after missing the New Orleans Pelicans' previous 18 games due to a left quadriceps strain, Poole wasn't shy about putting up shots in his return, as his 30.6 percent usage rate paced all New Orleans rotation players. A more efficient showing from three-point range could have made Poole's stat line even more appealing, but he was still a plus-18 during his time on the court. Poole had opened the season on the top unit, but he moved to the bench shortly before injuring his quad and appears likely to serve as New Orleans' sixth man now that he's healthy again while the Pelicans remain committed to giving rookie first-round pick Jeremiah Fears an extended look as their starting point guard. Poole should still see enough minutes and usage to remain worthy of holding in most leagues, though he may eventually have to sacrifice some touches once the likes of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Zion Williamson (adductor) return a few weeks down the road.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Gets questionable tag
Jordan Poole (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.It's a significant upgrade in status for Poole, who hadn't drawn a single questionable tag since going down with a left quadriceps strain in early November. The star guard is likely to have restrictions on his playing time if he suits up, considering how much time he's spent on the shelf. The fantasy value of both Jeremiah Fears and Jose Alvarado is likely to take a considerable hit once Poole returns.
