What Happened
Jakob Poeltl is set to return for the Toronto Raptors in their upcoming game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was previously held out for the front end of a back-to-back set for injury maintenance, but is now available to play.
Why It Matters
Poeltl’s return is significant for the Raptors, particularly as they navigate a challenging schedule. His presence on the court is expected to impact the team’s performance, especially with Collin Murray-Boyles likely shifting to the bench unless Scottie Barnes, who is dealing with a quadriceps issue, is unable to play.
What’s Next
With Poeltl back in the lineup, fantasy managers are also taking note. He is priced at $4,700 on DraftKings and is considered a valuable option for those looking to optimize their NBA DFS lineups. Poeltl has averaged 9.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this season, making him a player to watch as the Raptors face a Bulls team that has struggled against centers.
