Jakob Poeltl Fills Up The Box Score
Jakob Poeltl recorded his fourth straight double-double in a 139-133 overtime loss to the Pacers on Saturday. Poeltl tallied 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and a pair of steals in 40 minutes of action. The 25-year-old has been a strong contributor defensively, as he has 10 combined blocks and steals in his last three games- as well as at least one rejection in 10 straight contests. Poeltl gets a good matchup on Monday against the Cavaliers, who have allowed the most steals and the fifth-most blocks per game to opposing centers.

Jakob Poeltl Out Against The Nets
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.

Jakob Poeltl Sits Out Thursday's Game
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.

Jakob Poeltl Available On Tuesday
Jakob Poeltl (rest) is expected to return to action on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. Since March 7, Poeltl has been rested for every other game, and he again had the night off when Toronto faced the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. While on the court, Poeltl has dominated, averaging 20.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 26.1 minutes over his past four appearances. His presence in the lineup limits the fantasy potential of Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo.

Jakob Poeltl Takes Wednesday Night Off
Jakob Poeltl (rest) will once again come out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has frequently rested Poeltl in recent weeks, with the Austrian giant only playing in every other game. Orlando Robinson, Jonathan Mogbo, and Colin Castleton have received additional work in the games Poeltl has missed. Castleton's second 10-day contract with the Raptors has just expired, meaning the workload may increase further for Robinson and Mogbo on Wednesday night.
