Jonas Valanciunas scored 14 points (4-5 FG, 6-6 FT) with seven rebounds in the Nuggets' 125-118 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Valanciunas continued his depth role for the Nuggets, staying productive in limited minutes but not playing enough to be super fantasy relevant. He's best left on benches or waivers until something changes.

Valanciunas has had his minutes severely limited this season, playing just 15 on Tuesday. He's been fine given his role and playing time, but it's just not enough to make him fantasy relevant in any big capacity. Should his role increase, however, we could insert him into fantasy lineups.
Jonas Valanciunas confirmed he will be playing for the Nuggets next season.
Fantasy Impact
