Jonas Valanciunas Stats

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas picked up his 48th double-double of the campaign in Thursday's victory over Sacramento, scoring 24 points on 8-for-10 shooting and grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds. He was 8-for-8 at the foul line and finished things off with three assists, one block and two turnovers. Valanciunas has notched seven double-doubles in eight games, and he finds himself third on the league's double-doubles list behind Nikola Jokic (59) and Russell Westbrook (57). With Memphis facing Sacramento again on Friday and finishing the year against Golden State, Valanciunas has a great chance to get to 50 double-doubles for the season.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) will be back among the starting five for Thursday's game versus Sacramento. Valanciunas missed one contest due to a sore back, which allowed Xavier Tillman Sr. to slide into a starting role; Valanciunas' return correspondingly knocks Tillman's fantasy appeal down a notch. In the midst of an impressive stretch where he has recorded a double-double in six of his last seven outings, Valanciunas will be looking to continue the success that he found against the Kings back on Feb. 14 when he accumulated 25 points and 13 boards in just 26 minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that he expected this to be a one-game absence when Valanciunas sat out on Tuesday. Despite that, the team is listing him as questionable heading into this game. Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke would see increased roles if Valanciunas is forced to the sideline. Clarke is the better streaming choice and DFS option between the two.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounds like he is dealing with back soreness, so fantasy managers should consider Valanciunas day-to-day right now. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will join him on the sideline against Dallas. That means, Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke will be fantastic streaming options and sneaky DFS choices for Tuesday's slate.
