With an average of 14.7 points per game and a notable performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves where he scored 19 points, dished out 3 assists, and grabbed 4 rebounds, Poole's efficiency on the court is undeniable. His ability to convert from beyond the arc and his free throw accuracy stand out as key factors that could influence the game's outcome.


On the other side, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks has been nothing short of spectacular. Young's performance has been a critical factor for his team, especially highlighted by his incredible 34-point game against the Indiana Pacers, accompanied by 17 assists. His average of 33.3 points over these games underscores his role as a fundamental offensive threat that the Wizards will need to contain.
