Jakob Poeltl (injury management) is out for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.
Poeltl had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the Raptors’ 109-97 victory over the Hawks on Friday night. The 30-year-old center will sit out the second game of the back-to-back. Poeltl missed a game last week with a back injury and Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvii handled the center duties in his absence.

Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will start Tuesday’s game against the Bucks.
After missing three games with a back injury, Poeltl is available and will start. However, he will be under a minutes restriction in his first game back. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles returns to the bench but will still figure prominently in the rotation, so hold onto him if you’re rostering the rookie.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks.
Poeltl is back after missing three games with a back injury. While he may be in the starting lineup, the veteran center will be under an unspecified minutes restriction. Fantasy managers who added Collin Murray-Boyles in Poeltl’s absence should hold onto the rookie. He’ll have value both in the short term and over the long haul.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Bucks.
Poeltl has missed three straight, but he’s got a chance to make his return against Milwaukee. If he’s ruled out for a fourth consecutive contest, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles would presumably remain in the starting lineup, where he has excelled.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.
Poeltl is set to miss his third consecutive game with a lower back issue he’s battled since the preseason. The 30-year-old center didn’t travel with the team on a recent road trip for treatment reasons, but still isn’t ready to play. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvii will handle the center duties in Poeltl’s absence and both are worth streaming.

Jakob Poeltl (back) will not travel with the Raptors for Friday’s game against the Cavaliers.
Poeltl has been dealing with a lower back issue since the preseason, and he did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets. He’ll miss a second straight game on Friday, remaining in Toronto for treatment reasons. The hope is that Poeltl will be available for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies. Collin Murray-Boyles started against Houston, with Sandro Mamukelashvili as his primary backup. Both are worth streaming, with CMB offering a higher long-term fantasy upside.

Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Wednesday.
As expected, Poeltl will miss this game against Houston. Collin Murray-Boyles closed the Raptors’ last game out at center and should play a significant role in this game. If CMB doesn’t start, it will be because Sandro Mamukelashvili is filling that role, though CMB is a better streaming option.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.
Poeltl, who dealt with lower back stiffness during the preseason, exited Monday’s loss to the Spurs due to a similar issue. Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles replaced him then, and his playing time will increase if Poeltl cannot play. Also in line for a boost is Sandro Mamukelashvili, but Murray-Boyles is the player to target on waiver wires.

Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will start Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.
Poeltl, who exited Friday’s preseason finale with lower back stiffness, is available and will take on his usual starting center role Wednesday night. Also of note is Ingram, who will play his first regular-season game since December 7. Sidelined by a high ankle sprain, the former Pelicans wing was healthy during the preseason and played well.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.
Poeltl exited early from Friday’s preseason game due to lower back stiffness, but that isn’t going to keep him from playing in the season opener. He’ll occupy the starting center spot for Toronto this season, which has resulted in him being drafted in the seventh round of Yahoo! leagues.

Jakob Poeltl (back) will miss the remainder of Friday’s exhibition against the Nets.
Appearing in his second game of the preseason, Poeltl played 24 minutes before exiting with lower back stiffness. This is the same issue that sidelined the Raptors’ starting center for the beginning of the preseason, with Poeltl not making his debut until Wednesday night against the Celtics. He’ll have a few days to recover for the start of the regular season, as the Raptors don’t open until October 22. If Poeltl cannot play, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo should see their playing time increase.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jakob Poeltl has agreed to a four-year, $104 million extension with the Raptors.
No surprise here as it’s been clear the Raptors covet Poeltl. The 29-year-old center’s name was kept out of trade discussions, including when the Raptors were calling on the availability of Kevin Durant before he was traded to Houston. Poeltl averaged 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds across 57 games for the Raptors last year. He’s locked in as the Raptors center for the next four years after picking up his player option and adding three additional years.

According to multiple reports, the Raptors have no interest in trading Jakob Poeltl.
With Toronto being one of the teams mentioned as a potential destination for Suns forward Kevin Durant, Poeltl’s name came up as part of a possible trade package. However, SportsNet Canada’s Michael Grange reported Friday evening that the Raptors are not interested in including Poeltl in a trade for KD. NBA insider Marc Stein confirmed Grange’s report and added that the Raptors and Poeltl have “mutual interest” in working out a contract extension. While there is a feeling around the league that Toronto is open to trading down ahead of Wednesday’s draft, as they hold the ninth overall pick, there’s no desire to move on from their starting center.

Jakob Poeltl (rest) and Immanuel Quickley (rest) are off the injury report for Friday’s matchup with the Pistons.
The pair sat out the first leg of Toronto’s back-to-back set on Thursday, but they’ll be back on Friday to presumably handle their normal workload. Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson will likely retreat back to the bench after filling in with the first unit on Thursday.

Jakob Poeltl turned in 24 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and a block across 26 minutes in Friday’s win over the Hornets.
Poeltl led all scorers, and he reached that mark on an efficient 12-of-14 shooting. The 24 points are his most since he scored 25 on January 3, though the big man has dropped at least 20 points in three of his last six. Over the Raptors’ last 12 games, Poeltl has alternated between playing and resting, and Toronto is expected to keep going with that song and dance to close out the 2024-25 campaign. The Raptors face the 76ers on Sunday, and we wouldn’t expect Poeltl to play in that one.

Jakob Poeltl stuffed the stat sheet on Monday with 21 points (10-of-13 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks in a 112-104 win over the Wizards.
Poeltl has been alternating availability over the past few weeks, and when he has played, he hasn’t played a full workload. However, even in limited action, Poeltl has been fantastic over the last few games, with Monday’s performance being one of his best. It may go against Toronto’s goal of looking to improve their lottery odds, but he has provided second round value over the past two weeks across his four appearances. With a matchup with the Nets coming up next on Wednesday, don’t be surprised if Poeltl is held out of that game.

Jakob Poeltl returned to the lineup on Thursday and contributed 18 points (8-of-9 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks against the Warriors
After sitting out the second night of Toronto’s back-to-back on Monday, Poeltl was back in the lineup against Golden State. His production has been limited by a lack of minutes in some of his recent appearances, but that wasn’t the case in this game. Poeltl’s 28 minutes on Thursday were the most that he has played in a game since February 2. Unfortunately, this was the last non-lottery team that Toronto will play for a while, so managers may have to deal with more limited performances from Poeltl.

Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji, Scottie Barnes, Jonathan Mogbo and Jakob Poeltl will start against the Warriors on Thursday.
Toronto will roll out a more normal lineup as opposed to the obvious tanking lineups they’ve been using. Agbaji and Poeltl didn’t play the second night of the back-to-back on Monday, and their returns push Jamison Battle and Collin Castleton to the bench.

Poeltl will be available for Thursday’s game after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Suns, which was Toronto’s second game in as many nights. While he will take on his usual starting center role, fantasy managers should not expect to see Poeltl logging starters’ minutes. There will be opportunities for Orlando Robinson despite him being a reserve.

Poeltl played limited minutes on Sunday, and he’ll unsurprisingly sit out the second leg of Toronto’s back-to-back set. Barrett will miss his second game in as many days. The absence of both players means Orlando Robinson, Colin Castleton, Jamal Shead, AJ Lawson and Jamison Battle should see increased run.

Jakob Poeltl accounted for 19 points (9-of-13 FGs), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 25 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
Give the Raptors credit for a well-executed tank job on Sunday. Once Poeltl and Scottie Barnes were pulled from the lineup, the Trail Blazers mounted a rally and won by three. The next few weeks may be frustrating for those who have Poeltl rostered; even if he plays, there’s the chance that his minutes are cut like they were on Sunday. And with the Raptors visiting Phoenix on Monday, Orlando Robinson (10 points, four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes) could be moved into the starting lineup.

Jakob Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Friday.
Poeltl will get the night off against the tanking Jazz, and this game is an important one for Toronto to lose if they want to improve their lottery odds. Poeltl only played 17 minutes in their last game, so even when he is playing, he may not actually see typical starter minutes. Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton should fill out the center minutes in place of Poeltl. Robinson (25/12/6) shined against Philadelphia on Wednesday, but Castleton was also productive and grabbed 14 rebounds.

Jakob Poeltl played 26 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Magic, tallying 16 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot.
After playing 24 and 22 minutes in his first two games back from a hip pointer, Poeltl played 26 against the Magic. The veteran center recorded his first double-double since February 2, and the 16 points are the most Poeltl’s scored in a game since January 27 (21 vs. New Orleans). His minutes limit has led to more playing time for Orlando Robinson, who contributed six points, seven rebounds and one blocked shot in 21 minutes. However, Robinson will only have value on nights when Poeltl doesn’t play.

Jakob Poeltl (hip) tallied 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), five rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Pacers.
Poeltl returned to the Raptors lineup after missing seven games with a hip pointer, and his minutes were restricted. The injury may have factored in Myles Turner punishing the Raptors from beyond the arc, as he made all five attempts on the night. The Raptors play twice more during Week 17 without a back-to-back, so availability may not be an issue for Poeltl. However, with the team six games out of the last play-in spot, there may be little motivation to increase the seven-footer’s minutes.

Poeltl is available after missing seven games with a right hip pointer. However, his minutes will be restricted in his first game back. Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson will lose some playing time with Poeltl available, but both may remain in the rotation due to the restrictions placed on the Raptors’ usual starter.
