Jordan Poole Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz after missing three straight contests. Poole has been out since leaving the Oct. 28 loss to Denver early with a left ankle issue. The 27-year-old has struggled in limited action this season, averaging 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 16.0 minutes while shooting just 19.0% from the field. Dejounte Murray is also back after a three-game absence, while Jeremiah Fears has played well in an expanded role, leaving Poole with plenty of competition for minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) will miss Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to team reporter Jim Eichenhofer. Poole injured his ankle during Wednesday's loss to Denver and was limited to seven minutes before being ruled out. He entered that game averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes across three appearances. Dejounte Murray (personal) is also unavailable, leaving Jeremiah Fears with more playmaking responsibility. Bennedict Mathurin could also see a bump in touches. Poole's next chance to return comes Saturday against Atlanta, though his modest bench role has already capped his fantasy appeal.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Poole exited Wednesday's game against Denver after just seven minutes and did not return, leaving him unlikely to play in the second leg of the back-to-back set. He had been cleared of an illness earlier for Wednesday's contest before suffering the ankle injury. The veteran is averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes across three appearances while playing behind Jeremiah Fears. If Poole is unable to suit up, Fears and Bennedict Mathurin could see additional playing time, boosting their fantasy value.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets, the team announced. Poole had been cleared from an illness earlier in the day before suffering the ankle injury. He entered Wednesday averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes across three appearances while working behind Jeremiah Fears. With New Orleans hosting Sacramento on Thursday, Poole's status could be in doubt on the second night of the back-to-back. If he cannot go, Fears should have a little more playmaking responsibility on his plate, while Bennedict Mathurin could see a few extra minutes on the perimeter.

The New Orleans Pelicans recently signed free-agent guard Bennedict Mathurin to a two-year deal. The 24-year-old gets $16 million over two years and a player option in his new deal. The presence of Mathurin is going to significantly impact the rest of the Pelicans' rotation. The team will need to find minutes for Dejounte Murray, Jeremiah Fears, and Jordan Poole to all get playing time with Mathurin in the mix as well. Out of the bunch, Poole is likely going to lose the most playing time with Mathurin joining the team. Poole is coming off a disappointing season where he averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.0 rebounds across 39 games with the Pelicans this past season. He's probably the most inconsistent player of the bunch, so it wouldn't be shocking to see his minutes take a hit this upcoming season.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Suns after clearing left ankle soreness. Poole missed Tuesday's loss but had been functioning as a bench contributor prior to the absence. Over his last five games, he averaged 16.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 27.3 minutes, reflecting a stable second-unit role. If he resumes that usage, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins would likely see reduced guard minutes and touches. Even in a reserve role, Poole offers situational fantasy value through scoring and free-throw percentage, though field-goal efficiency continues to cap his upside.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) could miss another game Friday night when his team hosts the Phoenix Suns. Poole also missed Tuesday's blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the ankle issue. Following an extended absence in November and early December, Poole is now a bench player in the Pelicans' rotation. He's still getting plenty of shots up (double digits in every game this season) with mixed efficiency. He averaged 16.6 points and 3.2 assists in about 27 minutes in his last five games off the bench.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) and forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will be missing from the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are dealing with ankle injuries. Bryce McGowens will take Jones' spot in the starting lineup. As a starter, McGowens has been quite productive this season, averaging 13.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in five games.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (quadriceps) has received the green light to play on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The team has upgraded Poole's status from questionable to available. The savvy scorer has been out since early November, making only seven appearances this season. Due to his long layoff, Poole may only see limited action on Thursday. However, once he is back in shape, Poole could be set for a huge stretch, with Zion Williamson (adductor) on the shelf. Before straining his left quadriceps, Poole posted 17.3 points and 3.4 assists in 30.3 minutes per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (quad) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Poole has missed 18 consecutive contests due to a quad strain and hasn't been labeled questionable since the injury occurred, dating back to November 4. If the 26-year-old is still unable to return on Thursday, Jeremiah Fears and Jose Alvarado will continue to carry heavy workloads, helping out Trey Murphy III and the Pelicans' backcourt.
