Jonas Valanciunas comes off the bench once again on Thursday

Jonas Valanciunas came off the bench in Thursday night's Toronto win over Milwaukee 92-89. Valanciunas played only 16 minutes, scoring six points and grabbing five boards. With the win on Thursday, the Raptors won the series 4-2 and will advance to the next round. Next up for Toronto, the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night for Game 1.
Fantasy Impact:
Since the emergence of Norman Powell into the starting rotation, Valanciunas' fantasy production has fallen. Valanciunas averaged 10 points and 11 boards against Cleveland during the regular season. It is unknown if Valanciunas will re-enter the starting lineup against the Cavs so this situation should be monitored closer come Monday. If he starts, he is a low priced DFS option with a high upside, especially in tournament formats.
