Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hand) is questionable to play against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Following a scheduled rest day against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, Poeltl was expected to rejoin the action against Charlotte, but he is on the injury report with a right hand injury. With Poeltl frequently out of the lineup lately, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo have stepped up to take on bigger roles. Both players will receive extra work again on Wednesday if Poeltl remains out of the lineup.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hand) won't play on Sunday against the Nets. It's unknown how many more times Poeltl will see work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, considering the Raptors aren't going to the postseason. But as far as Sunday's matinee is concerned, Orlando Robinson, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and one steal in his last start, should fill the void in the rotation. It's also worth noting that Poeltl didn't play when these clubs last met on March 26, with Robinson amassing 23 points and 12 rebounds as a member of the starting lineup.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (rest) will exit the lineup on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a scheduled rest day for Poeltl, who has sat out every other game over the last four weeks. Poeltl's absence elevates the fantasy value of Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo. In the most recent game Poeltl missed, both players had productive outings. In a 127-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, Robinson notched 13 points with four rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal, while Mogbo finished with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal.

The team has frequently rested Poeltl in recent weeks, with the Austrian giant only playing in every other game.

During their last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Castleton got the starting nod and registered seven points, 14 rebounds, two assists, and three blocks. Robinson had a solid night as well with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. Both would be great streaming options for big man stats in category leagues.
