Rotowire
Poeltl (hand) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Rotowire
Poeltl (rest) will be available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Supplies 18 points Thursday
Rotowire
Poeltl ended Thursday's 117-114 loss to the Warriors with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes.
The veteran center has been getting every other game off lately for load management purposes, and he looked fresh in this road matchup after not having suited up since Sunday. Poeltl is on pace to post career-best averages in points (14.3), boards (9.6) and steals (1.2) on the season. However, with the Raptors remaining on the fringes of the race for a spot in the Play-In Tournament despite periodically resting their regulars recently, it's unclear whether the organization will reverse course on his cautious usage down the stretch.

Poeltl has been rested in three of the Raptors' last seven games, and given the team is playing Monday against the Suns in the second leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if he's rested for that contest.
