Jakob Poeltl Out Again On Friday Night
3 years agoSan Antonio Spurs center Jacob Poeltl won't play during Friday's matchup against Orlando, as expected. Poeltl remains out while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. His first absence was on Wednesday against the Mavericks, which opened the door for Drew Eubanks to enter the starting lineup and finish with 10 points, five boards, and three blocks. Eubanks only played 19 minutes in that one, splitting time with Thaddeus Young. The situation will likely be the same against the Magic, which will make both men risky DFS options despite their value appeal. Keldon Johnson and Dejounte Murray will benefit from a usage standpoint without Poeltl in the mix, so they may be better alternatives.
