JAKOB POELTL NEWS

Records efficient double-double Poeltl notched 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 142-113 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Poeltl was perfect from the floor during Sunday's matchup and matched his best scoring total of the season during the comfortable win while also posting his fifth double-double of the year. He's scored in double figures in five consecutive matchups, averaging 13.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 26.2 minutes per game during that time.

Top rebounder in double-double Poeltl chipped in 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Poeltl led all players in Wednesday's game in rebounds while finishing as the lone Raptors player with a double-double and ending as the team leader in steals and blocks. Poeltl has hauled in 10 or more boards in five games this season, tallying a double-double in four of those contests.

Solid output Monday Poeltl registered 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 111-107 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Poeltl could not record his fourth double-double of the season, but he made his presence felt and scored in double digits for the fourth time across six appearances in November. Poeltl holds a secondary role on offense, but he can produce enough to be valuable in deep formats and category-based leagues.

Limited impact Saturday Poeltl had 12 points (6-10 FG), three rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Poeltl scored in double digits just for the fourth time this season, but there was not much he could've done to stop the Celtics' dominant frontcourt, as he was matched up with Kristaps Porzingis during the entire contest. Poeltl should have the chance to bounce back Monday against the Wizards.

Flirts with double-double in defeat Poeltl recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-99 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Poeltl saw extended time in the starting lineup Thursday against Philadelphia with the continued absence of Precious Achiuwa (groin), nearing a double-double while finishing one point and one rebound shy of accomplishing the feat. Poeltl has been a nice presence in the paint for the Raptors this season, posting at least nine points and nine boards in three straight outings.

Strong showing against Milwaukee Poeltl closed Wednesday's 130-111 win over the Bucks with 14 points (7-10 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes.

Impact The 28-year-old center recorded his second straight double-double after a sluggish start to the season, and his four blocks were also the first time in five games Poeltl recorded multiple rejections. The Raptors are still adjusting to a new coach, new scheme and a new point guard in Dennis Schroder, but Poeltl appears to have figured things out quickly, shooting 71.0 percent from the floor to begin the campaign.

Double-double against Blazers Poeltl accumulated 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Monday's 99-91 loss to Portland.

Impact It's the first double-double of the season in four games for Poeltl, as he hadn't scored more than eight points in any of the Raptors' first three games. The 28-year-old center is cashing in his scoring opportunities, shooting 71.4 percent from the floor, but otherwise his numbers are a little below his usual pace as the team around him has a sluggish start to the season.

Logs just 19 minutes in OT loss Poeltl had eight points (4-5 FG) and six rebounds over 19 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 104-103 overtime loss to Chicago.

Impact Poeltl's lack of minutes had much to do with his foul trouble throughout the game and he played less than four minutes in the fourth quarter before fouling out. His lack of playing time may be something to monitor during the early portion of the season -- foul trouble or not -- as he logged just 24 minutes in the season opener Wednesday. Poeltl will have his hands full Saturday against reigning MVP Joel Embiid, who averaged 11.7 free throws per game last season.
