Poeltl logged 12 points (6-11 FG), eight boards, six assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 106-82 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The big man made his presence known all over the court, matching his second-highest assist total of the season despite his court time getting cut short due to the victory's blowout nature. So long as Kelly Olynyk (calf) remains sidelined, Poeltl will continue seeing a larger share of the center minutes going forward. His next outing comes Friday against the Bulls. He managed just six points and five rebounds in their last meeting.

Poeltl posted 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 32 minutes during Monday's 113-104 win over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl was able to shake off a questionable tag due to a back injury, finishing with his ninth game of the season with at least 20 points in the process. He's had a phenomenal season as Toronto's starting center, as he's on pace to return fourth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 14.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Poeltl (back) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl was considered questionable for Monday's game due to back stiffness, but the veteran big man will play through the issue. The 2016 first-round pick has averaged 12.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 29.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game agianst the Pelicans, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl is dealing with back stiffness, which puts his status for Monday's game in jeopardy. Chris Boucher and Orlando Robinson would see increased playing time if either or both of Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk (calf) are unable to play. Since and including Jan. 1, Poeltl has averaged 13.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game.

Poeltl put up 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-119 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Despite seeing somewhat limited action while splitting minutes with Kelly Olynyk and Chris Boucher, the big man made the most of his time on court as a force to be reckoned with down low all night. He contributed in every aspect of the game, even dishing his third-highest assist mark of the season and matching his second-highest steals total while he was at it. He could see more run in upcoming games since Olynyk was injured and is now day-to-day. Either way, his efficient scoring and tenacious rebounding continue to make him a valuable fantasy option going forward.

Poeltl produced eight points (4-6 FG), three rebounds and one block in 19 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 109-93 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl has picked up 11 fouls over his last two outings, limiting him to 20.5 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers can view this as a bump in the road in a solid season for Toronto's center. In 10 January outings, Poeltl has averaged 13.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.1 steals.

Poeltl recorded 16 points (8-8 FG), 11 boards, two assists and a block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 110-97 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl put together his 16th double-double of the season Wednesday, and he's now got two in as many games. Efficient shooting is nothing new for the big man, who is shooting 61.3 percent, but Wednesday's game marked the first time this season he's gone perfect from the field. Although backup center Chris Boucher has been making waves of late, Poeltl's still got the starting spot locked up and is liable to record a double-double on any given night.

Poeltl ended with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
it was Poeltl's 15th double-double of the season but his first since Dec. 9, ending an eight-game stretch in which he'd delivered either 10-plus points or boards, but not both at the same time. Since returning from a four-game absence in late December due to a groin strain, the veteran center is averaging 12.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 66.3 percent from the floor.

Poeltl notched eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-114 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl didn't have a good shooting performance, particularly for his standards, but the big man made his presence felt in other areas, mainly as a defender with his double-digit boards and three steals. The big man is on a streak of eight games with double-digit points or rebounds, and that consistency suggests he'll continue to perform on both ends of the court every time he steps on the hardwood.

Poeltl registered 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Toronto's preferred starting five completely healthy for the first time this season, Poeltl continues to rack up stats. He tied his season high with three swipes Thursday and dished out his most assists since Dec. 7, when he posted a season-high seven dimes. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran center has averaged 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks while shooting 72.9 percent from the field.
