Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas scores 20 points in 19 minutes against Denver
Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block in 19 minutes of preseason action against the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
What It Means:
Valanciunas was quiet in 15 minutes during his preseason debut on the weekend, but he bounced back in a big way on Monday. With Bismack Biyombo gone, Valanciunas stands to see an uptick in minutes this season.
After averaging career bests in points (12.8) and rebounds (9.1) last year, expect another step forward in 2016-17. Valanciunas ranked 20th in the league with a 7.6 nERD last season.
