Toronto continues to stagger availability for its starters, and IQ and Poeltl will be the next men up to ride the bench against the Nets. The pair sat out Sunday's matchup with San Antonio and were replaced in the starting five by Jamal Shead and Colin Castleton. Shead and Castleton may be in line for another start, but Shead is the only player worth streaming.
Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Poeltl has been alternating availability over the past few weeks, and when he has played, he hasn't played a full workload. However, even in limited action, Poeltl has been fantastic over the last few games, with Monday's performance being one of his best. It may go against Toronto's goal of looking to improve their lottery odds, but he has provided second round value over the past two weeks across his four appearances. With a matchup with the Nets coming up next on Wednesday, don't be surprised if Poeltl is held out of that game.
Barrett and Agbaji are the only holdovers from the lineup that started Sunday's loss to the Spurs. Quickley and Poeltl returning will push Jamal Shead and Colin Castleton to the bench, while Battle is starting for RJ Barrett (rest).
Poeltl (rest) will be available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
