Jakob Poeltl Fantasy Stats

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers, with the team still offering no firm timetable despite clearing him for contact Jan. 5. From a fantasy standpoint, managers should continue to pivot to rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, who has started seven straight and delivered 10.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.7 steals in 31.0 minutes while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 90.0 percent at the line. Murray-Boyles remains a strong streamer and deep-league hold until Poeltl returns.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) won't be ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Last week, Poeltl was cleared for contact, but he remains sidelined due to a lower back strain. The Austrian giant has been out since Dec. 21. During his absence, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles has become a regular starter at center, producing some really exciting performances. Across January, Murray-Boyles has averaged 10.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 2.0 steals in 30.2 minutes. On Wednesday, Murray-Boyles may have an even larger workload, with Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) listed as questionable on the injury report.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will not play Friday against Boston after falling short of a return following Thursday's practice. Sunday against Philadelphia is his next opportunity to play. His absence continues to open frontcourt minutes. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles has started the last three games and profiles as a short-term stream after averaging 9.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 29.8 minutes. Sandro Mamukelashvili remains productive off the bench with 11.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes. Both are low-end options tied to Poeltl's status.

According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN, Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is completing an "intensive rehab and strengthening" program and will be re-evaluated in a week. Poeltl has missed six consecutive contests due to a back issue. The injury has limited the 30-year-old big man to 21 games this campaign. When Poelt has been active, he's averaged 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 25.3 minutes per contest. Sandro Mamukelashvili has been productive fantasy-wise and should remain an asset for fantasy managers while Poeltl is sidelined.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will miss his fourth-straight game with a back injury when his team hosts the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Poeltl missed two games earlier this month and aggravated the injury after about seven minutes of playing time on December 21st. He's expected to be out at least another week. Toronto will also be without forward RJ Barrett (knee) on Monday, so Sandro Mamukelashvili is likely to pick up his fifth start in the last seven games. He's averaged 17.2 and 7.2 rebounds in those starts and is squarely on the fantasy basketball radar.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Golden State Warriors. He will miss a third consecutive game due to a lower back strain. Overall, Poeltl has played in only one of the last five games because of his back issue, and even then, he was limited to seven minutes. Sandro Mamukelashvili has enjoyed a strong stretch during Poeltl's injury woes and has a chance to post a second consecutive double-double on Sunday. For a second straight game, Toronto's frontcourt may also be without Collinn Murray-Boyles (illness), who is considered questionable.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is ruled out for Friday's game against Washington, marking a second straight absence after aggravating the issue earlier in the week. If Poeltl remains sidelined, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely continue starting and capitalizing on an expanded role, averaging 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over his last five games in 26.4 minutes. Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is listed as questionable but has seen extended run when available, including an 11-point, 12-rebound showing in 25 minutes, with his role remaining situational. Mamukelashvili carries clearer short-term value, while Murray-Boyles profiles as a fringe fantasy option tied to minutes and availability.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) won't play on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. He aggravated a back problem on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets, playing only seven minutes. Poeltl had missed the previous two games. The Raptors are having a great campaign, but it's a worrying situation with Poeltl, who has been dealing with the back injury since the preseason. Sandro Mamukelashvili is likely to jump back into the starting five on Tuesday. He has notched 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game in four previous starts this campaign. On Tuesday, Mamukelashvili will have a decent fantasy matchup, as the Heat give up the third-most rebounds to opposing centers.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will return from a two-game absence on Sunday night versus Brooklyn. He's getting back on the floor at a perfect time, considering the Nets are one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association. With Poeltl available, Sandro Mamukelashvili, who had 24 points and five rebounds on Saturday against the Boston Celtics, will likely return to the bench, significantly decreasing his fantasy value.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. The big man is considered day-to-day and could be available to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles will handle the center minutes during Poeltl's absence. Mamukelashvili had a productive outing as a starter in the last game and hopes to repeat it on Saturday. However, it's a tough matchup against a team that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing centers.
