San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (knee) is available Thursday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.
Poeltl has been upgraded from probable. After missing more than three weeks with a knee injury, Poeltl is averaging 21.7 minutes, 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks in his first two games back. The Spurs are on the front end of a back-to-back, so they may hold Poeltl out Friday versus the Orlando Magic.
numberFire's models project Poeltl for 24.0 minutes and 28.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $7,100 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Spurs have the lowest implied total (109.75) out of the four active teams today.
