Jakob Poeltl DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Toronto Raptors center 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.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors, indicating that he will return to the lineup. Toronto has begun to rest Poeltl regularly, and he did not play on Monday night against the Phoenix Suns. Even when he has been in action, the Raptors have limited Poeltl's playing time. He has averaged 23.2 minutes per game this month, notching 16.4 points and 7.2 rebounds. Orlando Robinson, Jonathan Mogbo, and Colin Castleton lose fantasy value with Poeltl's return.

Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.careports that Toronto Raptors center, Jakob Poeltl(rest), won't play against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Poeltl will have the evening off to rest for the second half of a back-to-back set after finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 105-102 loss to Portland. The 29-year-old will likely be back for Thursday's matchup with Golden State. Until then, Orlando Robinson should take on the majority of minutes at the center this evening.
