Jakob Poeltl is listed as doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup against the Rockets due to persistent lower back stiffness, which also impacted his preseason and forced his early exit in the recent defeat to the Spurs. In his absence, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles is expected to see an uptick in minutes, making him a viable waiver wire option. Additionally, Sandro Mamukelashvili may also experience an increased role in Poeltl’s stead.
