  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Leads way in rout of Warriors

    Valanciunas supplied 21 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 141-105 win over Golden State. Valanciunas played just 21 minutes, but that was enough to pace New Orleans in both points and boards in an easy victory. The big man was efficient from the field and even knocked down a pair of triples, the seventh time this season he's hit multiple three-pointers in a game. Valanciunas hasn't played more than 23 minutes since the turn of the new year, but he's still managed to notch three double-doubles over five games in that span.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Notches double-double in loss

    Valanciunas registered 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to the Clippers. Valanciunas registered his second double-double in his last three games. He also tied with Jordan Hawkins as the leading scorer for the Pelicans in a game during which Zion Williamson left in the second half with a right leg contusion. Valanciunas is averaging 14.7 points and 9.7 rebounds this season, but he hasn't played 30-plus minutes since Dec. 26 as he's split time in the frontcourt with Larry Nance.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Double-double in win

    Valanciunas finished Tuesday's 112-85 win over the Nets with 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal over 20 minutes. It was Valanciunas' first double-double since Dec. 26 and his 18th of the year. He had a productive December, averaging 15.8 points on 58.8 percent shooting, 10.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Valanciunas' minutes will likely go down with Larry Nance back after missing 13 games with a right rib fracture, but the former should still provide solid fantasy production, especially with his rebounding.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Role declines in Nance's return

    Valanciunas contributed six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Jazz. Thursday's performance ended an eight-game streak of double-digit scoring for Valanciunas -- a stretch where he had seven double-doubles. Both his minutes and his usage took a hit with Larry Nance (ribs) back in the rotation, the latter playing 25 minutes. Nance has dealt with injury woes for much of his career, but when available, he's a more versatile option at center than Valanciunas and arguably fits better with Zion Williamson. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Valanciunas' minutes in the near future to see how coach Willie Green decides to operate.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Returns from locker room

    Valanciunas (leg) is back on the bench after briefly exiting Saturday's game against the Rockets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. Valanciunas departed the game in the first quarter, but he returned to the bench shortly after being assessed in the locker room and will be available the rest of the way.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Heads to locker room Saturday

    Valanciunas headed to the locker room in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Rockets due to an undisclosed injury, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. The loss of Valanciunas could be detrimental for the Pelicans, as they're already without Cody Zeller (ankle). If that's the case, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl would be in line for a bigger role against Houston.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Available to play Thursday

    Valanciunas (illness) is available to face the Cavaliers on Thursday. The Pelicans will be shorthanded in the frontcourt Thursday, but having Valanciunas and Herbert Jones (illness) available will be a huge boost for the team on both ends of the court. Valanciunas has been a regular starter for the Pelicans this season and should remain in that role given his availability. He's averaging 18.0 points and 12.2 rebounds per game over his last nine games while posting eight double-doubles in that span.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Considered game-time decision

    Valanciunas (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Valanciunas is officially questionable for Thursday's game due to a non-COVID illness, and the Pelicans will presumably wait to see how he feels after pregame warmups before determining his status. If he's unavailable, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is a candidate to see more playing time.
