  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Valanciunas closed with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Thursday's 136-105 win over the Kings. The Nuggets blew the Kings out early, so Nikola Jokic was able to call it a night after 29 minutes. Valanciunas feasted in garbage time as a result, once again showcasing his per-minute upside.

  Valanciunas ended with eight points (4-7 FG), seven rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Monday's 131-121 loss to Dallas. Valanciunas has done a fine job backing up Nikola Jokic, averaging 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across just 12.6 minutes this season. His fantasy floor is very limited, as he hardly ever sees the court at the same time as Jokic.

• Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Modest role continues

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Valanciunas provided six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Monday's 125-115 victory over the Grizzlies. Valanciunas played fewer than 15 minutes for the fifth time in the past seven games, serving as the backup to Nikola Jokic. While his skill set sets him up to be one of the more reliable backup centers in the league, the opportunity for him to step up is simply not there. Barring an injury to Jokic, expect to see Valanciunas locked into a 15-minute role moving forward.

  Valanciunas racked up 14 points (4-5 FG, 6-6 FT) and seven rebounds over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 victory over the Pelicans. Valanciunas bounced back from a dismal performance Monday, making all six free-throw attempts and four of five field-goal attempts en route to 14 points Thursday. While it appears Valanciunas' role hinges largely on whether superstar Nikola Jokic plays in the fourth quarter, he should still be monitored should Jokic miss any time.

  Valanciunas supplied 10 points (3-8 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 win over the Kings. Valanciunas continues to provide Denver with ample production as the backup center, averaging 9.0 points and 5.0 rebounds through the first 10 games of the season. While he is one of the more reliable second-string centers in the league, he would need Nikola Jokic to miss time to have a shot at delivering standard league value.
