Poole supplied 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 loss to the Pacers.
Poole was one of the few standout performers for the Wizards in this win, although it's hard to single anyone out following a 53-point defeat. At least Poole managed to extend his solid stretch of play in recent games, and he's now scored at least 18 points in five straight outings following a couple of subpar showings following the All-Star break. Poole should remain one of the Wizards' go-to options on offense every time he's on the court.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Bounces back with 25-point effort
Rotowire
Poole produced 25 points (9-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 loss to New York.
Poole snapped a seven-game stretch in which he couldn't reach the 20-point mark and did it with an efficient performance, but his solid scoring output wasn't enough to lift the Wizards past the Knicks. Fantasy managers are certainly expecting better numbers from Poole, who's averaging only 17.8 points per game since the All-Star break compared to 21.2 points per contest in the first half of the campaign.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores 18 points in loss
Rotowire
Poole chipped in 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to Orlando.
Poole didn't do much outside of scoring, and the veteran guard isn't bringing much to the table for a reeling Wizards team already thinking about the 2025-26 season. Poole's struggles have been noticeable in recent games, too. He's gone seven straight games without reaching the 20-point plateau, and he's shooting just 40.7 percent from the floor, and 34.5 percent from three-point range, over that stretch.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Limited in miserable shooting night
Rotowire
Poole (elbow) finished with two points (1-11 FG, 0-9 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Jazz.
Poole played through an elbow injury Wednesday, but it's fair to wonder if he was hampered at all during a miserable shooting night. The combo guard has now failed to hit double figures in scoring in consecutive outings, and it appears the rebuilding Wizards are beginning to manage his workload significantly. Poole was limited to 11 minutes in Monday's game against Portland, so his playing time will be something for fantasy managers to monitor in the closing weeks.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Available to play
Rotowire
Poole (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
This will be Poole's second status upgrade, as he was originally listed as doubtful on the first injury report. With Poole and Marcus Smart (illness) available, players like Bub Carrington, AJ Johnson and Jaylen Martin won't offer as much fantasy upside.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Poole (elbow) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Utah.
Poole, who was initially considered doubtful to play, is trending in the right direction. Marcus Smart (illness) is considered questionable to suit up as well. If either player is held out, guys like AJ Johnson and Jaylen Martin could step into larger roles for Washington.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Unlikely to play against Utah
Rotowire
Poole is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz due to a right elbow contusion.
Poole is expected to miss Wednesday's contest due to an elbow injury after suiting up in each of Washington's last six contests. If Poole is further downgraded to out, Bub Carrington will likely receive increased playing time.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Sees limited run
Rotowire
Poole totaled nine points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to Portland.
This was a bizarre game for the Wizards, as Poole and Khris Middleton were both pulled at halftime with 11 minutes apiece. The Wizards used an 11-man rotation, giving extended run to guys like Jaylen Martin and AJ Johnson. If Monday was any indication, Washington could be a fantasy mess in the final weeks.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Muted performance in win
Rotowire
Poole finished Thursday's 129-125 victory over Detroit with 17 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes.
The Wizards aren't exactly playing for much these days, and that could be a factor as to why Poole's minutes are down -- over his last three outings, he's seeing 24.2 minutes per game with 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.0 three-pointers on 37.5 percent shooting from the field. His usage could trend up, however, as Bilal Coulibaly will be out approximately 4-6 weeks with a right hamstring injury.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Limited to 23 minutes Monday
Rotowire
Poole notched 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
Poole recorded an impressive 34-point effort in his return to the lineup against Toronto on Saturday, but he couldn't repeat the same numbers against the same opponent two days later. Poole is an accomplished scorer but lacks consistency on a game-to-game basis to move into the next level of his career. He's averaging 22.7 points per game since the beginning of February, but it's worth noting he's surpassed the 20-point mark just six times over that 13-game stretch.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Pours in 34 in return to lineup
Rotowire
Poole posted 34 points (12-20 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 win over the Raptors.
The 25-year-old guard had missed the prior three games with a sore elbow, but Poole's shooting was on point Saturday as he led all scorers on the night. He's topped 30 points three times in his last nine appearances, and the seven made three-pointers represented his best performance from long distance since a revenge game against the Warriors on Jan. 18, when an 8-for-15 effort from beyond the arc fueled a 38-point eruption.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Poole (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Poole has missed the last three games for the Wizards due to soreness in his right elbow. If he's unable to play in Toronto, Washington will likely turn to Marcus Smart to shoulder the load in the backcourt, along with Bub Carrington, who'll be filling in for Malcolm Brogdon (ankle).

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Practices Friday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Keefe said that Poole (elbow) participated in Friday's practice, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
The combo guard has missed the club's last three outings due to a hyperextended right elbow, though his presence at practice Friday bodes well for his status ahead of Saturday's game against Toronto. The Wizards are expected to provide more details on Poole's availability Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old has averaged 23.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 32.0 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores 24 points in defeat
Rotowire
Poole accumulated 24 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Poole had a solid performance Wednesday and reached the 24-point mark for the third time over his last five outings. The veteran shooter has been a bit inconsistent throughout February, though, and his performances have suffered because of that. In 11 appearances this month, he's averaging 22.3 points per game but shooting just 42.7 percent from the floor and 29.7 percent from three-point range.
