Jordan Poole Drops 26 Points Despite Scuffling From Deep
Jordan Poole went for a game-high 26 points during Sunday's loss to the Wizards, but it was how he got there shooting-wise that was notable. Poole went a solid 7-for-15 from inside the arc, yet he shot just 1-for-10 from deep, the lowest mark of his career in an outing where he made at least one triple. The third-year guard packed the stat sheet across his 40 minutes, though, by adding nine made free throws, six rebounds, three steals, and two assists. Buoyed by Stephen Curry's (foot) absence, Poole stands to continue seeing enormous offensive upside over the final two weeks of the regular season, particularly in instances of back-to-backs, such as Monday due to Klay Thompson being unavailable.

Jordan Poole Won't Play Wednesday Versus Philadelphia
Jordan Poole (elbow) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right elbow contusion. The Wizards are staying on the cautious end, keeping Poole out of tonight's action as they are on the back end of back-to-back games. The 25-year-old finished with 19 points, one rebound and three assists across 19 minutes in a 104-98 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday. Marcus Smart and Bub Carrington will likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

Jordan Poole Upgraded To Available Wednesday
Jordan Poole (elbow) is good to go for Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Poole's status has been upgraded a couple of times throughout the day, going from doubtful to available. The talented scorer has had a good campaign in Washington, but the team has recently begun limiting Poole's minutes, which means fantasy managers aren't getting full value out of him. This month, Poole has averaged only 24.2 minutes per game, putting up 18.3 points while registering 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

Jordan Poole Doubtful To Play On Wednesday
Jordan Poole (elbow) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's clash against the Utah Jazz. The 2022 NBA champion has sustained an elbow contusion and may be absent for the ninth time this season. Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) have already been ruled out for Wednesday, leaving the Wizards potentially very thin in the backcourt. AJ Johnson, Bub Carrington, Colby Jones, and Jaylen Martin all received plenty of burn on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers and look set to be heavily involved again in Wednesday's contest.
