This will be a second straight absence for Poeltl, and rookie Jonathan Mogbo started in his place in their last game. He was solid in 30 minutes, with Chris Boucher and Kelly Olynyk both logging just under 20 minutes. All three should see a boost with Poeltl out once again.
Poeltl is set to miss his second game of the month on Thursday. Chris Boucher and Kelly Olynyk will get chances to contribute more in the aftermath.
Initially questionable for Saturday's game, Poeltl is available to play after a one-game absence. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, meaning fewer minutes for Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo.
Poeltl was also questionable on Thursday against the Thunder and ended up sitting out. Jonathan Mogbo and Chris Boucher both saw more minutes in Poeltl's absence with Mogbo scoring 17 points in 23 minutes. Bruno Fernando also entered the rotation, but only scored four points in the blowout loss.
Poeltl was initially questionable for Thursday's game but has been ruled out. His absence frees up minutes for Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo, the former offering a higher fantasy upside. Bruno Fernando may also enter the rotation but is not worth the streaming risk in most leagues.
