Continues dominant stretch Poeltl produced 30 points (13-18 FG, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 130-119 victory over Indiana.
Impact It wouldn't be a stretch to say Poeltl has been one of the best big men in The Association over the last two weeks, and his numbers back that up. The veteran has four double-doubles in his previous five appearances while reaching the 30-point mark in his past two. During that five-game stretch dating back to Nov. 10, Poeltl is averaging 23.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 65.9 percent from the floor.

Career night vs. Boston Poeltl finished Saturday's 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics with 35 points (16-19 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes.
Impact Poeltl scored a career-high 33 points Saturday as he dominated the paint all night long. He grabbed a game-high six offensive rebounds in the process and carried the scoring load for a short-handed Raptors team playing the second leg of a back-to-back. Poeltl now has eight double-doubles through the first 14 games of the regular season, and he's averaging a career-high 16.2 points along with 11.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.

Monster double-double in loss Poeltl finished Friday's 99-95 loss to the Pistons with 25 points (12-21 FG, 1-4 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact The Raptors came up short in this battle of rebuilding franchises, but Poeltl delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court. The big man posted a season-high mark in points and tied his season-high mark in rebounds. This was his sixth double-double of the season.

Busy night on defense Poeltl racked up 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 loss to the Bucks.
Impact The veteran center was the second-leading scorer for the Raptors on the night, but a very distant second behind Gradey Dick's 32. Poeltl's five combined steals and blocks were a season high, and he continues to see elevated usage while Scottie Barnes (orbital bone) is sidelined. Through the first 12 games this season, Poeltl is on pace for career highs in points (13.9), boards (11.1), assists (2.9) and steals (1.2) while also supplying 1.3 blocks a contest.

Records double-double 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.
Impact 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.

Excels with double-double 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.
Impact 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 games during his first season with the Raptors. If he can stay healthy, the team has an excellent chance to improve on last year's 25-57 record.

All-around performance in loss 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.
Impact Despite allowing 38 points in a head-to-head matchup with Anthony Davis, Poeltl recorded his third straight double-double in Friday's contest. Poelt 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.

Another double-double 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.
Impact Poeltl has now posted back-to-back double-doubles despite 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 appearances. However, Poeltl's field-goal percentage is down to 56.0 percent from 65.6 percent last year.
