Poole has scored at least 15 points in each of his last five games for the Warriors, averaging 24.0 points per game on 51.0% shooting from the field in that span. The 23-year-old guard continues to provide explosive scoring potential for fantasy owners despite rotating between the starting lineup and second unit, averaging 21.0 points per game while posting a usage rate of 29.0% so far this season.
The defense picked Brady off twice but did not generate a sack in the loss. Despite a solid showing in Week 16 for most of the game, it will be hard to trust Arizona s D/ST in Week 17, even though they face an offensively-challenged Falcons squad.
Poole once again shined in the starting lineup, bringing his scoring average up to 27.4 across his seven starts this season. Contrast this with his overall 17.7-point average for the season and it is abundantly clear that Poole needs to be back in the starting lineup. It would increase Poole s contributions and take pressure off the recently inefficient Klay Thompson if he came off the bench. This seems unlikely but Poole owners will have to wait for spot starts as long as the Splash Brothers are healthy. That being said, Steph Curry missed Wednesday’s game with ankle soreness so Poole could see more run in the short term.
