What It Means:

Previously dubbed a game-time call, the momentum continues to move in the right direction for Valanciunas to play. At this point, it would be a little surprising if he didn't at least see the floor in some capacity. However, there is no question Valanciunas will be limited if he is out there, so expect Bismack Biyombo to still play a large role in a crucial Game 4 matchup.

Valanciunas is averaging 15.0 points and 12.1 rebounds per game in 28.5 minutes per game this postseason. He is also leading the league this postseason in Total Rebounding Percentage at 25.1 percent. The Raptors have gone 3-4 in the seven games Valanciunas has missed since last series. He ranked 20th with a 7.6 nERD during the year.
