Jonas Valanciunas scored only nine points and had six boards on Saturday night against Dallas. Despite his poor effort, the Raptors were able to extend their win streak to five games with a 94-86 win over the Mavs. The Raptors will head home for a Monday night game against Orlando.

Fantasy Impact:

Valanciunas is averaging nearly a double-double in the month of March. However, Valanciunas has been very streaky. Sometimes he plays well and sometimes he doesn't. With that said, Orlando is not a very good defensive team and the matchup actually favors Valanciunas statistically. Over three games, Valanciunas is averaging 15 points and eight boards per game against Orlando this season. Also, over the past five games, Orlando is the seventh worst team in terms of fantasy points against centers. If you are looking for a glimmer of hope from Valanciunas, Monday may be the day that he finally pays dividends. If you are looking to separate from the pack in DFS tournaments, keep him in mind.
