Poole has scored at least 20 points in four of the first five games of the regular season, and he finished Saturday's contest as the Wizards' second-leading scorer behind Bilal Coulibaly (22). Through the first five games of the 2024-25 regular season, Poole is averaging 22.2 points, 5.4 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 2.8 steals over 30.4 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Near double-double vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Poole finished Wednesday's 133-120 win over the Hawks with 24 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and three steals over 32 minutes.
Poole was the second-leading scorer for the Wizards on Wednesday behind Bilal Coulibaly (27), and the former was one assist shy from registering his first double-double of the 2024-25 regular season. He's connected on four or more threes in all four of his outings this year, and he's shooting 57.1 percent from beyond the arc on 8.8 3PA/G during that span. Poole and the Wizards will look to extend their two-game win streak Saturday against Jimmy Butler and the Heat.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Efficient from three Monday
Rotowire
Poole ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Hawks with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Poole has eclipsed the 25-point mark in two of his three appearances this season, and he seems firmly entrenched as the Wizards' primary offensive option just three games into the season. The main problem with Poole lies in his lack of efficiency, but in formats where field-goal percentages do not matter, he's been excellent in the first week of the campaign.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores 26 in loss to Boston
Rotowire
Poole finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and four steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 loss to Boston.
Poole caught fire early on and scored 17 points in the first quarter, but the Celtics held him in check the rest of the way. It was a strong showing for the guard, who's now operating as a floor general for the Wizards. Even though one game is not enough to draw solid conclusions, Poole seems to be the one that will set the tone offensively for Washington, which could lead to him hovering around the 20-point mark regularly going forward.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leads Wizards in scoring
Rotowire
Poole finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.
Poole was one of five players who scored in double digits for the Wizards in this preseason finale, though perhaps the most impressive tidbit out of this outing is that he needed only 18 minutes to do so. Poole figures to operate as one of the Wizards' primary options on offense in 2024-25, another year in which the franchise will operate under a rebuilding status.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores team-high 13 points
Rotowire
Poole finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason loss to the Nets.
Poole was the leading scorer for the Wizards on Monday, though that also shows how bad the team was on the offensive end of the court. Poole is expected to be one of the Wizards' few reliable fantasy options regularly, and while it remains to be seen how he'll play at point guard, it's worth noting the scoring should be there one way or another. After all, Poole has averaged at least 17.0 points per game in his last three seasons.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Rough shooting night Friday
Rotowire
Poole managed three points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3PT, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Raptors.
Poole was ice cold from the floor, missing all six of his three-point attempts. He is slated to be the starting point guard to open the season, providing him a relatively safe floor, assuming you can land him in the eighth or ninth round of drafts. The scoring could be inconsistent, as we saw here, but he should have a long leash given the Wizards are again unlikely to prioritize winning this season.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leads starters with 16 points
Rotowire
Poole finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors with 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one rebound over 22 minutes.
Poole was the leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday and put up the second-highest point tally in the game behind the Raptors' RJ Barrett (shoulder). Poole had a volatile 2023-24 campaign, and he finished his first season with the Wizards averaging 17.4 points on 41.3 percent shooting (including 32.6 percent from three on 7.2 3PA/G), 4.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 30.1 minutes per game. Poole is slated to serve as Washington's primary ballhandler to start the 2024-25 season.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Participates in first camp practice
Rotowire
Poole (illness) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Poole's first season in Washington didn't begin well, and he was ultimately moved out of the starting lineup for a couple of weeks. However, the benching appeared to light a fire under him, and he finished strong, averaging 20.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over his final 27 regular-season appearances. Poole missed the final two games of the campaign due to an illness, but as expected, that won't impact him to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Out for finale
Rotowire
Poole (illness) will not play in Sunday's season finale in Boston.
Poole had high expectations in his first season with the Wizards after being dealt from Golden State, and it is fair to say he did not quite live up to them. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard will end the year with averages of 17.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.4 triples across 30.1 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Poole provided 24 points (9-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to the Timberwolves.
Poole had a rough start to his first season with the Wizards, but spending time on the bench midway through the campaign seems to have helped him turn a corner, and he's ending the campaign on a solid note. Poole has scored 20 or more points in five of his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 23.3 points per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the field.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Flirts with double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Poole finished with 20 points (8-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists and five rebounds over 35 minutes in Friday's 108-102 loss to Portland.
Poole connected on a team-best trio of threes while handing out a team-high assist total and ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in a near double-double performance.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Hits five threes in loss

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Needs 20 shots to score 22 points
Rotowire
Poole chipped in 22 points (8-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-107 loss to the Heat.
Poole seems to have recovered the starting role he missed following the All-Star break, and while he remains inconsistent and efficient, his overall numbers have been trending up compared to his midseason struggles. No one can deny Poole's ability as a scorer, but that won't matter much in fantasy if he continues to shoot the ball as poorly as he had been doing earlier this season. Since returning to the starting lineup, Poole has averaged 19.9 points per game over his last nine outings.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Poor shooting night vs. Pistons

Coming off a season-high 38-point performance Wednesday against the Nets, Poole regressed with a seven-point outing Friday. He shot 20.0 percent from the field and missed all but one of his three-point attempts. Poole was responsible for five of the Wizards' 18 turnovers, which was tied with Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija for most on the team. Poole will look to bounce back Sunday against the Heat.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Poole (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Poole will suit up for a 25th straight game and should draw a sixth straight start at point guard, as Tyus Jones (back) remains out. Poole has dealt with hip and ankle injuries lately, but he's one of Washinton's only regulars suiting up Monday, opening a path for heavy usage again. Over his last six games, Poole has averaged 19.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 30.0 minutes per game.
