• Spurs' Jakob Poeltl: Shines defensively in win

  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Poeltl put up six points (3-3 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 20 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Spurs' 105-101 win over the Mavericks. There were fewer frontcourt minutes to go around Wednesday with Rudy Gay (wrist) returning from a five-game absence, but it was Pau Gasol (five minutes) rather than Poeltl who noticed the greatest role reduction. Poeltl's stellar defensive outing likely solidified his standing as the top backup to starting center LaMarcus Aldridge. It's a role that will likely prevent him from clearing the 20-minute mark on a regular basis, however, which puts a cap on Poeltl's overall fantasy upside.

  Poeltl provided six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 122-112 loss to the Thunder. Poeltl saw more minutes than Pau Gasol, who started his second straight contest since returning from an extended injury absence. The 23-year-old big man has recorded double-digit boards three times through 40 appearances this season, with all of them coming in the last 17 matchups. Despite earning fewer minutes per game than last year, Poeltl is pitching in career-high averages in rebounding and assists.

  10D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Poeltl had one rebound, one assist, and one block in eight minutes during Thursday's 154-147 double overtime win against the Thunder. Poeltl returned to a reserve role with Pau Gasol moving into the starting lineup. Moreover, Poeltl was the only Spur that played but didn't earn double-digit minutes. Gasol's return appears to be resulting in reduced responsibility and opportunity for Poeltl.

  Poeltl will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. Poeltl started the Spurs' last-two games but saw just 14 minutes Wednesday and only averaged 4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game over the two game stretch. He may see some more minutes despite coming off the bench with Pau Gasol (rest) not active to take center minutes.
