Poole #Poole
Jordan Poole has been upgraded to available for Monday’s game.
On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors are facing off with the Sacramento Kings for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
For the game, they will have one of their best players in action, as Jordan Poole has been upgraded to available.
The former Michigan star has played in all 83 games this season, so his streak will continue.
Underdog NBA: “Jordan Poole (ankle) available to play Monday.”
Poole had another impressive season with averages of 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while shooting 43.0% from the field.
He is in his fourth season in the NBA and has improved his points per game every year.
Last season, the 23-year-old was a big reason why the Warriors were able to win the 2022 NBA Championship over the Boston Celtics.
The title was their fourth in the previous eight seasons, and they have also been to the NBA Finals six times during that span.
That said, it’s been a mediocre season for the Warriors, who finished with a 44-38 record and are the sixth seed.
They were excellent at home, going 33-8 in the 41 games they hosted at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
However, on the road, they have gone just 11-31 in 42 games (counting their 126-123 loss in Game 1 on Saturday).
As for the Kings, they went 48-34 during the regular season and are the third seed.
This is the first time that the franchise has been in the playoffs since the 2006 season.
