Jonas Valanciunas post double-double Monday in loss to Pelicans

by Dave Kluge | Pelicans Correspondent | Mon, Jan 20th 9:35pm EST

Jonas Valanciunas scored 14 points on an efficient 6-of-8. He pulled 11 rebounds, dished a single assist, and swiped two balls over 21 limited minutes.

Fantasy Impact:

Valanciunas played well but his 21 minutes were the lowest the big man has put up since December 13th. The Pelicans run a small and fast lineup so you can chalk that up as a gameplan move rather than him being phased out. Pelicans' center Jaxson Hayes only played 19 minutes in the high-scoring matchup. Valanciunas is averaging 17.5 points and 11.3 rebounds in January and is a huge reason the Grizzlies have won eight of their last 10. He's putting up top-10 value at the center position this year and deserves to be in your lineup whenever he's suiting up. The Grizzlies will travel to Boston to face the Celtics on Wednesday.
