Pelicans clear Jonas Valanciunas (illness) for Thursday night action
The New Orleans Pelicans announced that Jonas Valanciunas (non-COVID illness) will play in Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
The Pelicans appear to have a bug going around the locker room. While Zion Williamson will stay home tonight as a result of it, Valanciunas got the go-ahead to play. He could be in for a big night against the Cavs.
Our models project the center for 37.1 fantasy points off of 16.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $8,000.
