Jonas Valanciunas plays just 17 minutes Tuesday in Raptors' win
Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas scored 12 points and grabbed 7 rebounds over just 17 minutes in a 129-113 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Valanciunas has now played less than 20 minutes in two straight games, and even though he is usually a good per-minute fantasy player, it’s frustrating for fantasy owners that his upside is somewhat limited depending on matchup and minutes. Valanciunas and the Raptors have a quick turnaround on Wednesday against he New Orleans Pelicans, and the Toronto big man should be needed against that front court.
Our models project Valanciunas for 22.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,100 against the Pelicans.
