Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Washington, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl will get the night off due to rest purposes, and his next chance to feature will come Wednesday against Philadelphia. Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Poeltl and Jonathan Mogbo (nose) being sidelined.

Poeltl chipped in 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
After begin rested on the front half of a back-to-back Friday, Poeltl returned and produced his best scoring effort since Jan. 27. The 29-year-old center has struggled to make his usual impact on the glass since returning from a hip issue in late February, and over his last five appearances Poeltl is averaging 14.8 points, 6.4 boards, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 65.2 percent from the floor.

Poeltl (rest) is available for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl will return to action Saturday after missing the first leg of Toronto's back-to-back due to rest purposes. Poeltl should reclaim his starting spot from Orlando Robinson against Washington.

Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, JJosh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl will rest for the first game of a back-to-back for the Raptors. The veteran big man will likely return to the floor Saturday against the Wizards. In the meantime, Toronto will likely turn to Orlando Robinson to shoulder the load in the paint against Utah.

Poeltl registered 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-102 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett led the way for the Raptors in the scoring column, but there's no question Poeltl posted an impressive effort as a two-way anchor down low. Aside from recording his first double-double since Feb. 2, Poeltl also reached the 15-point mark for the first time since late January. He's averaging 12.0 points and 6.7 boards per game in his three games since returning from a hip problem, but the fact that he remains in the starting lineup suggests fantasy managers should continue to trust him in all formats going forward.

Poeltl (hip) will play with a minutes restriction in Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how much his playing time will be limited Wednesday, but the Raptors and fantasy managers will be glad to get Poeltl back from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury. Over his last 10 appearances, the star big man has averaged 11.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 steals in 26.6 minutes. Poeltl's return could push Jonathan Mogbo back to the bench.

Poeltl (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl has missed the past eight games for Toronto but is expected to return any day now -- head coach Darko Rajakovic said Tuesday that Poeltl is "very close" to returning. Once he does get the green light to suit up, Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson would likely see their minutes take a hit.

Poeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl is dealing with a contusion on his right hip, which will result in him missing an eighth straight game for the Raptors. The absence of the veteran big man is a costly loss for Toronto, as he is averaging a double-double this season with a career-high 14.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson will likely continue to get more time on the floor with Poeltl still on the mend.

Poeltl (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl has been sidelined for the past seven games, but the Raptors still appear to be treating him as day-to-day. If Poeltl gets the green light to suit up, he could have restrictions in his first game back. Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson would likely see their minutes take hits if Poeltl is available Tuesday.

Poeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl will miss his seventh straight game Sunday due to a right hip strain, which means Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson will continue to see extended playing time at the five. Poeltl's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Celtics, though an official timeline for his return has yet to be announced by the Raptors.
