Poeltl was initially listed as questionable due to some stiffness in his lower back, but he'll be able to suit up once again in this game. He hasn't missed a game this month, and he will continue to fill the team's starting center minutes as they look to win their fourth straight game.
Poeltl (back) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Poeltl is dealing with lower back stiffness, hence his inclusion on the Raptors' injury report. Toronto's starting center has not missed a game since December 26, when he was replaced in the lineup by Kelly Olynyk. However, Olynyk is also questionable for Monday's game, meaning the Raptors may be down two rotation bigs. If the worst possible scenario occurs, Chris Boucher and Orlando Robinson would be in line for more playing time.
After exiting Thursday's win over Atlanta with tightness in his right calf, Olynyk was held out of Saturday's rematch. Chris Boucher and Orlando Robinson both surpassed 20 minutes off the bench in the 117-94 victory, and they may figure prominently in Monday's rotation. In addition to Olynyk, starter Jakob Poeltl (back) is also questionable. If both sit, Boucher and Robinson will be worth the risk in deep leagues.
