Jakob Poeltl Fantasy Stats

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to Sportsnet's Blake Murphy. Poeltl missed the previous two contests with left shoulder bursitis but returns with Toronto set to face Nikola Jokic and Nate Bittle (foot) still sidelined. The 31-year-old is averaging 4.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20.2 minutes through five appearances, though he posted 12 points and 11 boards against Orlando last Friday. Collin Murray-Boyles started at center Monday and should move back to the bench with Poeltl available.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets with left shoulder bursitis. The issue has kept Poeltl out of the last two games, including a late scratch before Sunday's loss to the Lakers. He has had a quiet start when available, averaging 4.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 20.2 minutes across five appearances. If Poeltl misses a third straight game, Collin Murray-Boyles should remain the main beneficiary after starting at center Monday and posting 18 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks in 28 minutes.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) will miss a second straight game Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers with bursitis. Poeltl was a late scratch Sunday against the Lakers after the issue limited his range of motion during warmups. The 31-year-old is averaging 4.6 points and 5.8 rebounds through five appearances after playing only 46 games last season because of recurring back problems. Trayce Jackson-Davis started in his place Sunday and could get the nod again, while Collin Murray-Boyles should also be in line for additional frontcourt minutes.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl is moving well and looks good ahead of training camp, general manager Bobby Webster said Thursday, according to the Toronto Sun's Ryan Wolstat. Webster added that spending time at home helped the 30-year-old reset after injuries limited him to 46 games last season. Poeltl averaged 10.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. A healthy camp should keep him firmly in the center rotation, though Collin Murray-Boyles made a strong case for more frontcourt minutes during the playoffs. Poeltl's rebounding and efficient interior scoring should remain useful for fantasy managers if his back holds up.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl still remains very much part of the team's plans this postseason. That was called into question after Monday's Game 2 loss to Cleveland, where Poeltl saw just nine minutes of action and sat out the entire second half. "He needs to be part of the solution for us," Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic told reporters on Wednesday, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN. "He needs to be more aggressive. He needs to dominate the glass. He's going to be a big part of Game 3 and I believe he's going to perform really well." While Rajakovic appears confident in a bounce-back performance from Poeltl, he didn't commit to a starting center for Thursday's game. Collin Murray-Boyles started the second half at the No. 5 spot on Monday night, finishing with 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl didn't play in the second half of Monday's 115-105 Game 2 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He had a limited role in the first half as well, logging only nine minutes. Poeltl finished the game with two points, four rebounds, one assist, and two turnovers, making one of his two field-goal attempts. The Austrian big man also had a tough time in Game 1, giving him averages of 3.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in the series. Collin Murray-Boyles started the second half at center and was among Toronto's best performers, with 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Sandro Mamukelashvili, who tallied a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double Monday night, is also set for an expanded role if Toronto decides to go forward without Poeltl.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will suit up on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. The Austrian big man has shaken off a questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. As a result, Sandro Mamukelashvili will land back on the bench, while Collin Murray-Boyles' fantasy potential will also be limited. Poeltl has averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 26.5 minutes since the All-Star break.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. On Monday, he didn't play in the second leg of a back-to-back against Utah due to lower back injury management. It's an issue that has bothered Poeltl all season, but he's sat out only three games since returning from a seven-week absence in mid-February. Sandro Mamukelashvili started on Monday, and Collin Murray-Boyles was back in the lineup after missing 11 games due to a thumb injury. Mamukelashvili had a great game with 23 points and five steals, and the Raptors are likely to keep him in the first unit if Poeltl can't play on Wednesday night.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans after missing Tuesday's contest. The 30-year-old is expected to return to the starting lineup, which should push Sandro Mamukelashvili back into a reserve role. Poeltl has been providing steady category production, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals across his last five games while playing 28.6 minutes. Poeltl's return reinforces Toronto's frontcourt, while Mamukelashvili's streaming value takes a hit.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is tough news for the Raptors, with Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) also sidelined. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday to see if Poeltl can return for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Sandro Mamukelashvili should take on a heavier role with Poeltl out for this game. He's worth a look as a streaming option in most fantasy formats while the Raptors are shorthanded. Jonathan Mogbo could see increased minutes as well, but Mamukelashvili is the primary add here.
