Grabs 10 boards in loss Poeltl produced six points (3-6 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 132-95 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Poeltl attempted six or fewer shots for the fifth time this season and failed to score in double figures for the fifth time over his last eight appearances after reaching that plateau in six straight contests to start the campaign. Despite the poor scoring numbers, the veteran big man remains a top-75 fantasy player due to his rebounding and shot-blocking prowess. On the season, Poeltl is averaging 12.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game.

Stuffs stat sheet, double-doubles Poeltl accumulated 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 30 minutes during Friday's 111-93 win over the Bucks.
Impact Poeltl is not known for his scoring ability and has struggled with consistency at times, but even when he doesn't score at a high rate, he's still producing in other categories, such as rebounds and blocks. A solid pick-up for fantasy managers who need a big man that can produce in several areas, he's averaging career-best numbers in rebounds (9.8), assists (3.8) and steals (1.0) per game while also putting up 12.6 points per contest.

He's averaging 14.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists over his first five games of the new campaign.

Another double-double Poeltl notched 14 points (7-12 FG), 14 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 115-106 win over Minnesota.
Impact Poeltl has had two complicated assignments in the last two games in Joel Embiid and Rudy Gobert, but he was able to get the job done both times. He even outplayed Gobert in this one while ending with his second consecutive double-double. The big man has scored in double digits every game this season and may be in line for a career year.

Comes close to double-double Poeltl supplied 21 points (4-6 FG, 13-21 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 137-134 victory over the Pacers.
Impact Poeltl filled the stat sheet admirably and looked impressive on both ends of the court, ending just two boards shy of a double-double while also delivering excellent passing numbers for a big man.

Grabs 10 boards Thursday Poeltl recorded eight points (4-4 FG), 10 rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot across 25 minutes Thursday in a preseason loss to the Thunder.
Impact Poeltl took only four shots in the contest, but he made them all en route to eight points. The big man also led the Spurs with 10 boards and five dimes. Poeltl isn't a big-time scorer, but he's efficient from the field and is a top-20 fantasy center on the basis of his consistent numbers as a rebounder and shot blocker.

Subdued effort Tuesday Poeltl compiled just six points (2-2 FG, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Poeltl returned to the lineup after sitting out the Spurs' previous game, logging just 21 minutes as the team turned to their bench late in the game. While he has been far from impressive during the preseason, all signs point to Poeltl having another strong season. His upside in blocks alone makes him a strong option in the middle rounds of all drafts.

Young Spurs eagerly await 'other pieces' in transition year
San Antonio is going to have a difficult time adding to the NBA-record career victories held by Spurs coach Gregg PopovichOCTOBER 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Set to play Tuesday Poeltl (rest) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Jazz, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Impact Poeltl got the night off for Sunday's preseason loss to the Pelicans, but both he and Devin Vassell (rest) will be back in action for the Spurs' penultimate preseason game Tuesday. Poeltl is coming off his most productive NBA season after averaging 13.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks per game in 2021-22, so expectations are high for the big man heading into the 2022-23 campaign.

Inactive Sunday Poeltl is not active for Sunday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Impact The Spurs appear to simply be resting the big man, who will be joined in street clothes by Devin Vassell, who's also a regular starter. Poeltl should be back to availability for Tuesday's game at Utah or Thursday's game against the Thunder before the regular season begins in just over a week.

Despite the disappointing finale, the big man put together an excellent campaign, finishing with career-high per-game marks in scoring (13.5 points), rebounding (9.3 boards) and assists (2.8 dimes). He also ranked fifth in the league with 1.7 blocks per contest.
