Fantasy Impact

Valanciunas snapped his four-game double-double streak, but fantasy owners won't be upset about his statline on Wednesday. Valanciunas is averaging a monster 14.8 points and 17.0 rebounds over his last five games. The absence of Jaren Jackson Jr. has opened up more rebounding opportunities for Valanciunas and given him a temporary bump in his value. He's a great DFS target until Jackson Jr. returns.

Fantasy Impact

Valanciunas followed up Friday's 13 & 25 game with a huge 22 & 20 game to close out a stellar February in which he snared double-digit rebounds in 10-of-11 contests. While Valanciunas's scoring dipped a bit (12.7 points), the 14.3 rebounds he averaged mark the best month of his eight-year career. Over halfway through his first full season with the Grizzlies, Valanciunas is putting up the best season of his career in a team that's a great fit for his style of play. With a roster full of young scorers, Valanciunas is the veteran cog in the paint to give his guys second chance opportunities and allows them to rack up easy assists. Valanciunas will kick off March as the sixth overall center in fantasy.
