Returns with 19 points off bench
Poole logged 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Phoenix.
Analyse
Poole missed the Pelicans' previous game with a nagging ankle injury, but he played through any residual pain and posted a solid number with the second unit. Although Jeremiah Fears appears to have a solid grasp on the starting gig at point guard, Poole will continue to push the youngster for time. The job was Poole's to lose earlier in the season, and his ankle kept him from retaining the role. Once Poole is back to 100 percent, the tide may turn in New Orleans' backcourt.

Won't play Tuesday
Poole is out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers with left ankle soreness.

Iffy for Tuesday
Poole is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers with left ankle soreness.
Analyse
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Poole could be held out as a precaution. During Monday's win over Dallas, Poole had 14 points, two rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes. If he can't play Tuesday, Jose Alvarado could see more playing time for the Pelicans.

Struggles with three-point shot
Poole notched 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over the Pacers.
Analyse
On the surface, Poole had a solid performance in 32 minutes. However, the fact that he went 1-for-7 from three-point range limited his fantasy upside. Poole is a proven scorer at the NBA level, but he's likely to continue coming off the bench for the foreseeable future. Poole has scored at least 15 points off the bench in his four outings since his return from injury on Dec. 11.
