LaVine will make his season debut and be limited to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Justin Holiday will move to small forward, likely limited Valentine's minutes to the low-to-mid 20s.
In a reserve role, Valentine is averaging 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 11 games and 25.6 minutes per game this season. He's projected for 20.3 FanDuel points against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.
