Romano was pitching for the third straight day and his velocity was down significantly, so Charlie Montoyo opted to pull him with two outs and bring in Ross Stripling to get the final out. Romano has 15 saves on the season and just a 2.79 ERA, so there's no reason to be concerned about his removal from Saturday's game (so long as the velocity drop was due to workload, as expected). There's next to no chance he'll pitch on Sunday but should be ready to go on Tuesday when the Blue Jays take on the White Sox.

All eyes were on Jordan Poole tonight, as the Warriors opted to rest Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Otto Porter Jr. After a string of lackluster performances from the Michigan product, Poole is averaging 26.0 points on 60.9% shooting from the field through the last three games. He'll look to keep rolling and get the Warriors back in the win column on Tuesday night versus the Clippers.

The Jazz had their eight game winning streak halted Friday by a medicore Spurs team Friday night. Clarkson despite coming off the bench for the Jazz has the second highest usage rate on the Jazz with a 26.5% usage rate which is 5% above that of the next closest guy in Bojan Bogdanovic. Clarkson is a key reason for the Jazz continued success and will likely be up for the sixth man of the year award again this year.

Poole scored 23.0 points in the Warriors’ loss to the Sixers, making it his second straight game with twenty or more points. He has been consistent in his play this entire season, and even though Poole has limited upside, he still warrants fantasy consideration any time the Warriors are on the slate.

Poole continued to play well in the Warriors’ loss to the Spurs scoring 15.0 points scoring the second-most points on the team. This game marks his eighth straight game with a double-digit performance. Listen, this guy has been sensational all year. Even though the scoring stands out most as valuable, his consistency is probably the best contribution he could make to this resurrected Warriors team. Yes, Klay Thompson is coming back. Yes, this will shift the look of this team, but whether Poole is in the starting rotation or coming off the bench, his contribution could remain a critical asset...
