• Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Continues dominant stretch

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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 past five appearances, 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.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Busy night on defense

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

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.
