With LaMarcus Aldridge out, Poeltl will be one of the few bigs on the Spurs. He should see some consistent minutes for the remainder of the season and is an intriguing, albeit risky, DFS play.

With LaMarcus Aldridge on the shelf due to season-ending surgery, the Spurs really needed Poeltl for the remainder of the season. To prepare for life inside the bubble at Disney World, Poeltl said that he’s been playing lots of video games while in isolation in San Antonio. When asked about his upcoming free agency and the risk of injury, Poeltl said, “I've obviously thought about it, for me personally, I always wanted to play...family and agent came to the conclusion it's safe enough." The Spurs find themselves four games out of the 8th-seed in the Western Conference, and it’ll be an upward battle to clinch a playoff spot in August.

Poeltl was diagnosed with a sprained MCL in early March and was set to miss two-to-four weeks. "Although I have no experience with knee injuries, I expect that I will have no problems if the season continues," Poeltl said. If or when the NBA season returns, the 24-year-old would resume his role as a backup center to starter LeMarcus Aldridge. Poeltl averaged 5.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks across 58 games this year. The NBA season is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Jakob Poeltl (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers.

Poeltl initially suffered the knee injury in Saturday's 114-113 win over the Magic. He was later diagnosed with a sprained MCL and is currently day-to-day. Look for Trey Lyles to see an uptick in minutes with Poeltl sidelined. With LaMarcus Aldridge possibly out on Monday as well, Lyles can be used as a streamer and is worth adding in deep-league formats.
