Jonas Valanciunas says he's ready to go for Raptors in Game 5

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) said that he's "ready to go" for Wednesday's Game 5 in Cleveland against the Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Valanciunas will again be available to play on Wednesday, but Cavs' coach Tyronn Lue implied they'll go with a healthy heaping of Channing Frye at the five-spot for Game 5, which Dwane Casey has acknowledged is a difficult matchup for Valanciunas. If he does take the court Wednesday night, it'll likely be in a limited capacity, so he's definitely a risky fantasy option.

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. He ranked 20th with a 7.6 nERD during the year.
