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

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Sniffs double-double
Jakob Poeltl produced 19 points (5-8 FG, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the 76ers.Poeltl had a disappointing effort in the season-opening loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. However, he bounced back admirably Friday and finished just one rebound shy of a double-double while also containing the impact of Andre Drummond on the glass. Poeltl is not expected to rack up double-doubles on a regular basis, but the big man's performances going forward should be closer to this outing rather than the dud he posted versus Cleveland.
