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.

Poeltl recorded 25 points (11-12 FG, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 106-97 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors came up short and suffered a nine-point loss Friday, but Poeltl made his presence felt on both ends of the court after posting a loaded stat line. The efficiency in scoring certainly stood out, though, as Poeltl missed just one of his 12 shots from the floor. This was Poeltl's fourth straight game with double-digit points and/or rebounds. He's averaging 14.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

Poeltl closed Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
While the Raptors' offense collapsed in the rout, Poeltl at least enjoyed some success on the glass and at the defensive end. The veteran center has produced four blocks and four steals in two contests since returning from a four-game absence due to a groin strain, but he's still looking for his first double-double since Dec. 9.

Poeltl (groin) produced 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return to the lineup following a four-game absence with a groin strain, Poeltl supplied a full stat line in 27 minutes for the Raptors on Sunday, and it didn't appear his minutes were heavily restricted. Poeltl has tallied at least a steal or a block in all of his last eight appearances, a span where he's averaging 15.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor. The 29-year-old big man has a tough matchup coming up Tuesday against the defending-champion Celtics, who rank eighth in the league in opponent points per game (110.1).

Poeltl (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl has missed four straight games due to a bilateral groin strain but will return to action Sunday and presumably start at center. In his first 25 appearances this season, the veteran has averaged 15.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Poeltl (groin) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and is deemed questionable for Sunday's game versus the Hawks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl is in danger of missing his fifth straight contest Sunday due to a bilateral groin strain. If the 29-year-old big man is ruled out yet again, Kelly Olynyk will likely draw another start. However, Poeltl's participation in practice is a good sign of his availability against Atlanta.

Poeltl (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to groin strains. His next opportunity to take the court comes Sunday versus Atlanta, but Toronto could opt to exercise caution with the big man given that both legs are dealing with fatigue.

Poeltl (groin) will not play Monday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis

Poeltl (groin) is out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite returning to practice Saturday, Poeltl will miss his second straight contest Sunday due to a bilateral groin strain. Jonathan Mogbo should continue to receive an increased role in his absence. Poeltl's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Knicks.

Poeltl (groin) appeared to be moving well during Saturday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poeltl was diagnosed with a bilateral groin strain after exiting Monday's game against Chicago early, though it's positive news that he looked strong during practice Saturday. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share.
