NBA Insider Chris B. Haynes reports that Jordan Poole will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days while dealing with a left quad strain.
With Poole sidelined, rookie Jeremiah Fears should get a boost, though Fears was already a player worth picking up prior to Poole’s injury. Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado should see an increase in playing time as well.

Jordan Poole (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.
Poole is set to miss the second game of a back-to-back against the Mavericks on Wednesday. The 26-year-old shooting guard is dealing with a knee injury and was previously listed as questionable. The Pelicans have a number of options to replace Poole in the starting lineup including Jordan Hawkins, Saddiq Bey and Jose Alvarado. Rookie Jeremiah Fears should also see a boost in minutes and usage Wednesday.

Jordan Poole (knee) is questionable to play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Poole moved back to the starting unit against the Hornets on Tuesday in place of Zion Williamson (hamstring). If Poole sits out the second leg of the back-to-back, there are multiple options to replace him, including Jordan Hawkins, Saddiq Bey and Jose Alvarado, depending on how big Pelicans coach Willie Green wants his starting lineup to be. Jeremiah Fears, who is already starting, would also see a bump in minutes.

Jordan Poole amassed 30 points (9-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one block and seven three-pointers.
Coming off the bench for the second straight game, Poole was far better on Friday than in Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Nuggets. The 30 points were a season-high for the Pelicans guard, who still provides top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Jeremiah Fears (13/4/8/4 with two three-pointers) didn’t shoot the ball well as the starting point guard, but he did not commit a turnover in his 29 minutes. With Fears being a lottery pick, it makes sense for the Pelicans to prioritize his development. Poole can share the court with the rookie, but he’ll only provide reliable fantasy value if he’s bought into his new role.

Jordan Poole accounted for 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Grizzlies.
Poole shot 3-of-7 from beyond the arc in his official Pelicans debut, but he did not provide much value beyond the points and three-pointers. That isn’t the expectation for him, especially with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) unavailable. While most of the offense will run through Zion Williamson, the Pelicans need more production from Poole than what he provided in Wednesday’s defeat. And that can also be said for fantasy managers who have him rostered.

Jordan Poole added 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two assists, one steal and two three-pointers on Thursday against the Magic.
Poole had his most productive scoring game of the preseason as a Pelican, surpassing 20 points on Thursday for the first time. He did so with solid shooting efficiency, although he struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 25.0 percent on high volume. The former NBA champion didn’t make a notable impact in any other statistical categories, but leading the team in scoring is noteworthy. He should have a large role for New Orleans once the regular season begins, and could be a nice complement on offense to Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III.

Jordan Poole finished Saturday’s 127-92 preseason victory with 15 points, two rebounds and four assists across 18 minutes.
Poole shot just 1-of-5 from the field, but a perfect 8-of-8 mark from the charity stripe buoyed his final scoring total. The former Warrior and Wizard has scored 26 points on 4-of-14 shooting through his first two preseason appearances with New Orleans.

Jordan Poole tallied 11 points (3-of-9 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over Melbourne United.
Poole made his unofficial Pelicans debut on Friday, starting and playing 20 minutes in the team’s preseason victory in Australia. With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) sidelined, Poole stands to have the ball in his hands quite often to serve as an on-ball playmaker. However, that’s also the case for Zion Williamson (five assists, two turnovers), who led the Pelicans in assists on Friday and offered a slightly better assist-to-turnover ratio than Poole (four assists, three turnovers). Murray’s absence does raise Poole’s fantasy ceiling, but fantasy managers also have to consider that he’s adjusting to a new team.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Jordan Poole has been dealt to the Pelicans in a multi-player deal including CJ McCollum.
The deal sends Poole and Saddiq Bey to the Pels in exchange for CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk in addition to pick exchanges. The move makes sense for both sides, as Poole can focus his attention on scoring while Dejounte Murray operates as the team’s primary facilitator. Poole and Bey make the Pels younger, while McCollum offers Washington an expiring deal that can be shed in 2026 when the team will likely try to make a significant move with exorbitant available cap space. Poole should feature prominently in New Orleans’ lineup, and his fantasy value could improve with less pressure on him.

Jordan Poole (elbow) and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) are out for Sunday’s game against the Heat.
Poole and Holmes will not be available for Sunday’s season finale, with the former’s absence being more impactful. Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson have been the starting guards, which will likely remain the case against the Heat. Poole’s 2024-25 season was very good for him, even if the individual resurgence did not result in more wins for the Wizards. As for Holmes, he had a limited impact on fantasy basketball and is unlikely to be a draftable player in most fantasy leagues next fall.

Jordan Poole (elbow) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.
Poole is back after sitting out Thursday’s game against the Magic, Washington’s second contest in as many nights. His return means Marcus Smart will head to the bench, with the veteran guard’s already-limited fantasy value taking a hit.

Jordan Poole (elbow) is out for Thursday’s game against the Magic.
Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, so Poole will not play. His absence means even more time on the ball for Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson, which raises the fantasy ceilings of both rookies. And on a six-game night, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream either, although Carrington should be the priority add.

Jordan Poole tallied 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in 24 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Kings.
With the Wizards prioritizing their younger players, and rightfully so, Poole has only surpassed 25 minutes four times in his last 10 appearances. For fantasy managers, that makes it paramount that he takes advantage of the opportunities he does get, which was the case against the Kings. Poole was efficient in scoring his 24 points, shooting over 50 percent from the field, and not committing a turnover. Over the past two weeks, he has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Washington hosts Orlando on Thursday before closing out its Week 22 slate on Sunday in Boston.

Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 35 points (10-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and seven three-pointers in a 120-94 loss to the Heat on Monday.
Simply put, Poole had no help in Monday’s game. The rest of the starting unit combined to score 29 points in the blowout loss. Poole got off to a quick start and score Washington’s first nine points of the game, but the score got out of hand quickly. The good news is that Poole was able to play 29 minutes after playing less than 25 minutes in four consecutive games. That isn’t something managers should expect to continue, since Washington hasn’t been shy about limiting his minutes to give their young players more minutes.

Jordan Poole had 12 points (2-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers against the Nets on Saturday.
The Wizards continue to limit Poole’s minutes. In a game Washington lost by just three points, the 25-year-old shooting guard played only 21 minutes. It was his seventh game in a row with less than 30 minutes played. This has become a nightmare for fantasy managers and not one they’re likely to wake up from before this season is over.

Jordan Poole had 18 points (6-of-13 FGs), three assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Pacers on Wednesday.
Poole played just 25 minutes again Thursday. It was his sixth-straight game with less than 30 minutes and fourth in that span with 25 minutes or less. While the Wizards clearly aren’t pushing Poole for heavy minutes at this point in the season, they at least had good reason for his usage on Thursday as they were party to a massive blowout. Poole had a pretty good game considering the Wizards lost by 53 points. Unfortunately for Poole, it doesn’t seem like his minutes will trend back up in what’s left of the season.

Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 23 points (8-of-13 FGs), one rebound, one assist, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in a 112-104 loss to the Raptors on Monday.
Poole got off to a hot start on Monday and scored 11 points in just the first quarter. He was able to have a solid scoring night, but he was limited to just 22 minutes. This wasn’t the first time that Poole’s minutes have been cut short by Washington prioritizing improving their lottery odds. He has played less than 30 minutes in five straight games and less than 25 minutes in three of those. Poole has had a strong season, but Washington’s emphasis on building for the future will continue to limit his fantasy impact.

Jordan Poole accumulated 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks.
After a three-game slump in which he scored 29 points on 11-of-30 shooting, Poole got back on track in this one. He was one of the primary catalysts for the Wizards after halftime, shooting 5-of-10 from the field in the second half as Washington cut a 33-point deficit down to four. The Wizards did not have enough to complete the rally, but Poole’s play throughout the season has been encouraging. Washington plays four games during Week 21, starting with the Raptors on Monday.

Jordan Poole (elbow) and Marcus Smart (illness) are available for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.
Poole has been an offensive focal point for the Wizards this season, and that won’t change on Wednesday. His availability is good news for fantasy managers, as Poole has rebounded from a rough 2023-24 campaign. As for Smart, while he will play rotation minutes, the production has not been good enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Jordan Poole (elbow) and Marcus Smart (illness) are questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.
The Wizards have upgraded Poole’s and Smart’s statuses for Wednesday’s game. While the former was initially doubtful, the latter was ruled out on the team’s first injury report. Poole’s availability has a more significant impact on fantasy basketball, as he has been a productive member of the starting lineup. While Smart would play rotation minutes off the bench, he is not a must-roster player.

Poole appears likely to miss Wednesday’s game with a right elbow contusion. The elbow injury limited him to 11 minutes during Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. If Poole cannot play on Wednesday, Bub Carrington will likely move into the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Jordan Poole finished Saturday’s win over the Nuggets with 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), six assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in 30 minutes.
Poole’s final stat line wasn’t overwhelming, as he did not provide much value outside of the field goal percentage, points, assists and three-pointers. But he hit one of the most stunning game-winners of the season, making a 35-footer with 1.8 seconds remaining to complete the Wizards’ season sweep of the Nuggets. Since the All-Star break, Poole has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, only one round worse than what he’s done for the season. The Wizards will play four games during Week 20, which is good news for those who have Poole rostered.

Jordan Poole (elbow) and Richaun Holmes (knee) are available for Saturday’s matchup with the Raptors.
Poole will return to the court following a three-game absence, which will likely send Bub Carrington back to the bench. Across his last five outings, Poole averaged 25.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists, and he’ll look to pick back up where he left off. Holmes should assume his role as Alex Sarr’s primary backup after one game on the sideline. Even off the bench, Holmes still carries some streaming value in deeper leagues.

Poole has missed the last three games with an elbow injury, but he participated in practice Friday. The 25-year-old shooting guard at least has a chance of returning to the floor given his questionable listing. Bub Carrinton would continue to start if Poole is out again Saturday.

Poole is out with a right elbow hyperextension. Given how much usage the 25-year-old shooting guard typically takes up, a slew of Wizards will see a boost in fantasy value Saturday. Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Marcus Smart, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Khris Middleton could all benefit with Poole already ruled out.

Jordan Poole shot 8-of-17 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, tallying 24 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in 30 minutes.
After a rough 2023-24 campaign, Poole has been much-improved, even if the strides taken have not resulted in more wins for the Wizards. He’s provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats, something few (if any) fantasy managers expected. With Wednesday’s effort, Poole has scored 20-plus points in consecutive games for the first time since February 7-8, and he has been a top-40 player over the past three weeks in eight-cat. Even better for fantasy managers is that Poole and the Wizards end Week 17 with a game against the Hornets on Saturday.
