Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is good to go for Monday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Austrian big man has been experiencing lower back stiffness and initially carried a questionable tag on the injury report, but Toronto has upgraded him to available. Poeltl gets a juicy matchup on Monday against a team that allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing fives. The Raptors big man might have a chip on his shoulder as well Monday night, as he only managed two points in this season's first clash against the Pelicans.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) appeared on the injury report as questionable due to lower back stiffness for their Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 29-year-old has one of the most consistent fantasy contributors on the Raptors this season as he averages 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Whenever he misses time, the streaming options are pretty thin. Chris Boucher just posted a huge night in their last game with 23 points, five rebounds, and one block, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him start. Orlando Robinson would likely get backup minutes, but Boucher would make the better of the two for streaming purposes, especially since he can stretch the floor.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Memphis. A groin issue will keep him off the floor for a fourth consecutive contest. Poeltl's absence opens up more playing opportunities for Kelly Olynyk and Chris Boucher. The latter is coming off a big performance, having finished Monday's 139-125 loss to the Knicks with 16 points, three rebounds, three steals, and one block in 19 minutes. However, Boucher tends to be a volatile fantasy asset. Olynyk only recently made his season debut and has so far averaged 6.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in limited action.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (groin) has been ruled out Monday against the New York Knicks, which will be his third consecutive missed game. Poeltl is dealing with a groin strain, and there hasn't been a timetable for his return yet. The former ninth overall pick has been enjoying his best season yet with averages of 15.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Jonathan Mogbo will probably remain in the starting five while Poeltl is sidelined, and Kelly Olynyk should see more opportunities off of the bench. Mogbo hasn't been great as a streaming option after averaging just 4.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per contest in his four starts.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (groin) was limited to 22 minutes in Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago. The big man from Austria suffered a left groin injury when he slipped on the floor early in the fourth quarter. Poeltl finished the night with six points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal. The 29-year-old has been a walking double-double in 2024-25 and will be a big miss for Toronto if Poeltl has to sit out additional action. If that's the case, Jonathan Mogbo, Kelly Olynyk, and Chris Boucher will take care of his minutes. Boucher had the best game of the three on Monday with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, limiting his absence to just one game after missing Thursday's contest against the Thunder. This is great news for Toronto, as Poeltl has been a force in the paint, consistently delivering on both ends of the floor. The big man has recorded at least one block in six straight games and tallied double-doubles in eight of his last 10 outings, showcasing his invaluable presence for the Raptors.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Poeltl missed the Raptors' most recent game due to illness, with Bruno Fernando stepping into the starting lineup in his absence. Poeltl has been impressive this season, averaging 16.0 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. He's also made an impact defensively, contributing 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest. His return would provide a significant boost for Toronto. Fantasy managers will want to check back closer to game time for an update on his status.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The big man was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but has now been downgraded to out. His absence should free up playing time for Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo in the rotation. Neither player has ideal streaming option but Mogbo has been the better fantasy option over the last few games. Both players could be possible low-end streaming options with Poeltl unavailable.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hand) is doing light on-court work in practice but is still not cleared for contact. Still not using his surgically-repaired left hand, Poeltl's return to the floor is not imminent. The 23-49 Raptors have dropped 11 games in a row, so managers stashing the 28-year-old Austrian big man shouldn't be planning to have him available later during the fantasy playoffs. Playmaking center Kelly Olynyk has started each of Toronto's latest 11 matchups, providing 13.7 points, 5.5 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.1 triples, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks but is hurting nine-category players with 3.4 turnovers per game across this period. He'll be a much better bet in points leagues the rest of the way, but Olynyk will next face a vaunted New York Knicks defense that's permitting the fewest FanDuel points to enemy centers.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (finger) will miss a second consecutive contest on Thursday versus Phoenix and is considered out indefinitely after undergoing surgery. He suffered a ligament tear in the fifth finger of his left hand versus Charlotte on Sunday. With not long to go until the end of the regular season, it's possible Poeltl is now done for the year. Kelly Olynyk has taken over as the starting center in Toronto. He had 15 points, six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, and two minutes in his first start with the team on Tuesday versus New Orleans.
