Valanciunas closed Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round with 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes. Valanciunas has been doing everything he can to slow Chet Holmgren down, and while that has proven to be a daunting task for the veteran, he's finding a rhythm on the offensive end of the court. Valanciunas has now scored at least 13 points in each of his last three postseason appearances, and he should continue to experience an uptick in his usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) will still be sidelined for Game 3 on Saturday....

Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Pulls down 20 boards in loss Sunday
Valanciunas registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Valanciunas was heavily criticized for his play during the loss to the Lakers in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, but he's responded extremely well with back-to-back double-doubles against the Kings and Thunder. The veteran big man feasted on the glass against Chet Holmgren and used his physicality to dominate. Expect him to play a prominent role in the paint in Game 2 on Wednesday, especially with Zion Williamson (hamstring) still sidelined.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Delivers double-double
Valanciunas ended Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings with 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 27 minutes. Valanciunas was a non-factor in the loss against the Lakers during the first round of the Play-In Tournament. However, he stepped up in a big way Friday to help New Orleans avoid elimination and posted his second double-double since the beginning of April. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined, the Pelicans will likely need more consistent production from Valanciunas in the paint.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Records 33rd double-double
Valanciunas finished Thursday's 135-123 victory over Sacramento with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes. Although Valanciunas' totals have taken a bit of a tumble this season, the 31-year-old has served the Pelicans well in the interior. Assuming he plays the final two games, the veteran will have logged a perfect attendance record for the 2023-24 season. Thursday's game marked his 80th start in 80 games. He's averaging 12.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 23.8 minutes per game this year.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Impressive outing vs. Wembanyama
Valanciunas closed Friday's 111-109 loss to the Spurs with 26 points (10-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes. Valanciunas had the daunting task of dealing with Victor Wembanyama on both ends of the court. Even though the French rookie finished just one assist shy of a triple-double, Valanciunas held his own, posting his best scoring mark since Dec. 15, when he recorded a season-high 29 points in a win over the Hornets. Valanciunas should continue to see an uptick in touches if Brandon Ingram (knee) and Zion Williamson (finger) remain out to face the Suns on Sunday.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Doesn't start second half
Valanciunas ended Saturday's 104-92 loss to the Celtics with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes. Coming off a strong double-double performance against the Bucks on Thursday, Valanciunas saw just 15 minutes of playing time Saturday. He was not on the floor for the start of the second half, as Larry Nance joined the starting lineup. Valanciunas has seen his minutes wax and wane over the course of the regular season depending on matchups, though he should see the floor more Monday against the Suns.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Mismatch liability
Valanciunas logged six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to Oklahoma City. Valanciunas did not play in the second half of Tuesday's loss, with coach Willie Green turning to Larry Nance and small-ball lineups with Zion Williamson at center to combat Chet Holmgren and Oklahoma City's spacing-oriented offense. Valanciunas will likely be more incorporated Thursday against Milwaukee.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Plays 18 minutes Thursday
Valanciunas supplied six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes during Thursday's 121-106 loss to the Magic. His low playing time Thursday can be partially chalked up to the Pelicans being down big in the second half. That doesn't change the fact that Valanciunas has failed to reach 20 minutes in a game over his last seven appearances. Part of it has to due with Larry Nance getting big-man minutes off the bench, but New Orleans also tends to play small in the fourth quarter with Zion Williamson moving into the five spot. Valanciunas is capable of filling the stat sheet in limited minutes, as he's registered 31 double-doubles on the year, but he's averaged just 5.3 points and 6.7 rebounds over 17.6 minutes per game over his last seven games....

Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Muted effort in win
Valanciunas amassed four points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 18 minutes during Friday's 112-104 win over the Clippers. Valanciunas was woeful in the loss, scoring just four points in 18 minutes. He has now scored in single digits in six of the past eight games, playing limited minutes despite remaining in the starting lineup. The Pelicans are rolling right now, having won five of their past six games. As long as his reduced role continues, Valacinuas can be dropped in shallow fantasy formats.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Registers double-double Tuesday
Valanciunas totaled 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 139-98 win over the Raptors. Valanciunas notched his 32nd double-double of the season Tuesday and led the Pelicans in rebounding. His playing time has typically hovered in the mid-20s this season, but he tends to be efficient with the few touches he does receive on the offensive side of the ball. Valanciunas is averaging 13.4 points on 56.8 percent shooting, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks over 25.1 minutes per game this season.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Nears double-double in blowout win
Valanciunas recorded 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over the Pacers. Valanciunas led all Pelicans players in rebounds while ending as one of three players with 15 or more points and coming up one board shy of a double-double over just 25 minutes in a blowout victory. Valanciunas bounced back after struggling in his last two outings, as he reached double figures in scoring for the first time in three games.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Pulls down 17 rebounds Sunday
Valanciunas contributed 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 17 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls. Valanciunas is one of the most consistent centers in The Association and can record a double-double every time he steps on the court, as has been the case in each of his last three appearances. Even though the veteran can also produce on offense, he has a secondary role in the Pelicans' scheme, and that limits his fantasy upside a bit. Still, he's having another solid year and is just 0.4 rebounds per game shy of averaging a double-double for the fifth campaign in a row.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Strong double-double in win
Valanciunas provided 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 victory over Houston. The Pelicans dominated this game from start to finish, and Valanciunas made a huge impact on both ends of the court. The veteran big man has recorded three double-doubles over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's putting up 11.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.7 blocks per contest in that stretch....

Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Good to go
Valanciunas (calf) will play in Friday's game versus the Lakers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Valanciunas left Wednesday's game against the Clippers early and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but his availability will be a big boost to the team. In addition to Valanciunas, Zion Williamson (foot) also has the green light.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Questionable for Friday
Valanciunas (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers. JV was forced out of Wednesday's game after tweaking his calf, which resulted in Larry Nance starting the second half. If Valanciunas can't give it a go Friday, Nance would likely enter the starting lineup and would make for a quality fantasy target.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Leaves early Wednesday
Valanciunas has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers with a right calf contusion. He'll finish the game with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes. Valanciunas sustained the injury in the first half during a collision with teammate Brandon Ingram. Larry Nance drew the second-half start in Valanciunas' place and should continue to hold down the fort at center along with Cody Zeller for the rest of Wednesday's contest. Valanciunas' next chance to play will come Friday against the Lakers.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Goes to locker room
Valanciunas went to the locker room with a right calf injury during Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports. Valanciunas collided with Brandon Ingram and went down holding his calf. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Valanciunas should be considered questionable to return....

Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Double-doubles in win
Valanciunas supplied 25 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 victory over the Rockets. Valanciunas scored at least 20 points for the first time in the past three weeks, taking advantage of the fact Zion Williamson (foot) was on the sideline. Prior to Wednesday, he had been putting up serviceable numbers, sitting just inside the top 120 over the past two weeks. He remains a must-roster player but managers should temper their expectations when the Pelicans are healthy.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Finishes with double-double
Valanciunas produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 win over Utah. The Pelicans ran away with Tuesday's victory, and Valanciunas finished the game with his second consecutive double-double. He's posted double-doubles in six of his 11 appearances this month, averaging 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.... See More ... See Less -
Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Helps catalyze victory
Valanciunas posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-108 victory over the Mavericks. With CJ McCollum (ankle), Brandon Ingram (Achilles), Trey Murphy (knee) and Zion Williamson (rest) all sitting out, Valanciunas was efficient and stepped up as a facilitator. Valanciunas' seven assists matched a season high while his two-way energy was impactful in a game where New Orleans successfully fended off runs from Dallas throughout the second half. Saturday's game marked his 21st double-double of the season.... See More ... See Less
