Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Poole is good to go despite a sprained right ankle, and he should play his normal allotment of minutes. Although the 24-year-old combo guard has been a massive disappointment during his first season in D.C., he's trending up in the absence of starting floor general Tyus Jones (back). Through his past six appearances (five starts), Poole is averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 dimes, 1.5 steals, and 2.7 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes and remains worth starting in all points formats for the start of the fantasy semifinals. His matchup outlook would brighten significantly if Alex Caruso (ankle) sits out; no team has given up fewer DraftKings points to opposing point guards than the Bulls in 2023-24.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is out Monday against the Chicago Bulls due to left shoulder soreness. He had suited up for the last two Wizards tilts. Patrick Baldwin and Corey Kispert will likely see more action with the 28-year-old Kuzma sidelined. Washington could have seven players out with injuries for Monday's matchup, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss his eighth straight game on Monday versus the Bulls. Shamet has been shelved with a left calf strain, and it is unknown when he will return. Before missing time, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 46 contests. Washington could potentially have seven players out with injuries for Monday's game, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out of his sixth game in a row while suffering from a back issue. The former Timberwolf first experienced the back sprain after the game against the Houston Rockets on March 14 and then missed the first few games that he's missed all season. Jordan Poole (ankle) has taken over as the starting point guard in his absence, but Poole is now questionable for this contest as well. If he's unable to play too, Jared Butler is the most likely candidate to get the starting nod. Johnny Davis would be next in line off of the bench.
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) received a questionable tag for their game against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The 24-year-old has only been forced to miss two games all year and is in danger of missing a third. Even though his play hasn't been as consistent as everyone hoped, his health has been more consistent than most guards around the league. Poole has even moved back into the starting five recently since Tyus Jones (back) has been sidelined. If he's unable to suit up this time, however, Jared Butler would move into the starting lineup while Johnny Davis should see extra minutes off of the bench.
