Jakob Poeltl getting another start Tuesday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors power forward Jakob Poeltl is getting another start next to Jonas Valanciunas on Tuesday versus the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Patrick Patterson (knee) isn't expected to play, opening up the starting door for Poeltl. He finished with 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal in 20 minutes on Sunday against the Detroit Pistons. With Serge Ibaka set to debut on Wednesday, opportunity will likely be much harder to come by for Poeltl moving forward.
Poeltl is averaging 5.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 19.0 minutes per game in three starts this season. He's shooting 63.6 percent (7-of-11) in those outings and currently ranks 181st in the NBA this season with a -0.1 nERD.
