Poeltl closed Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers with 14 points (7-12 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl recorded his third double-double across six outings in November. The big man is averaging a solid 14.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in that span, and his two-way play has been one of the few bright spots for a struggling Toronto team in 2024-25.

Poeltl accumulated 24 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 121-119 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl logged his fourth double-double of the season and is one of the more surprising big men in the Eastern Conference through the first two weeks of play. Injuries can be a concern for Poeltl, who recorded only 50 regular-season games during his first year with the Raptors. If he can stay healthy, the team has an excellent chance to improve on last year's 25-57 record.

Poeltl recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite allowing 38 points in a head-to-head matchup with Anthony Davis, Poeltl recorded his third straight double-double in Friday's contest. Poeltl also tallied a season-high six assists. If the 29-year-old big man can continue to perform at this level, he will be one of the most valuable centers in fantasy.

Poeltl finished with 20 points (10-14 FG), 16 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl has posted back-to-back double-doubles despite the Raptors coming up short in Wednesday's contest. The 29-year-old big man is off to a great start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 13.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 31.8 minutes across five regular-season appearances. However, Poeltl's field-goal percentage is down to 56.0 percent after shooting 65.6 percent last year.

Poeltl provided 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and one block in 40 minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from Poeltl sniffing a 20-20 game, the fact he did that while dealing with the threat of Nikola Jokic throughout the entire contest makes it even more valuable. Poeltl is a standout two-way performer who could flourish with enough touches in Toronto, and he's enjoying a solid start to the season. Through four games, the veteran big man is averaging 12.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Poeltl produced 19 points (5-8 FG, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl had a disappointing effort in the season-opening loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. However, he bounced back admirably Friday and finished just one rebound shy of a double-double while also containing the impact of Andre Drummond on the glass. Poeltl is not expected to rack up double-doubles on a regular basis, but the big man's performances going forward should be closer to this outing rather than the dud he posted versus Cleveland.

Poeltl closed Wednesday's 136-106 loss to the Cavaliers with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl racked up five turnovers without recording a block or double-digit points during Wednesday's blowout loss. However, the 29-year-old big man should continue to receive plenty of opportunities to put up stats as Toronto's starting center.

Poeltl scored 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 FT) while adding 16 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 preseason win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

It's the veteran center's second straight double-double in exhibition action. Injuries limited Poeltl to only 50 regular-season games in 2023-24, but when he's on the court he's a key secondary contributor for the Raptors.

Poeltl finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in Sunday's 115-111 preseason loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl made his presence felt on both ends of the court Sunday, and the big man seems ready for the start of the regular season against the Cavaliers on Oct. 23. Poeltl will open the campaign as Toronto's starting center. However, the veteran could be tied to rumors as the season progresses since the Raptors are fully committed to rebuilding.

Poeltl (finger) worked through pick-and-roll concepts with Immanuel Quickley at Wednesday's practice, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl's presence at Wednesday's practice marks his first activity since undergoing surgery on his left pinkie finger in March, which ended his 2023-24 season. Poeltl enters training camp following a smooth offseason of recovery.
