Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas: Records double-double Sunday

Valanciunas contributed 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and one block across 24 minutes during Sunday's 116-91 victory over the Pacers.

Analysis:

Valanciunas torched the Pacers on the glass, grabbing six offensive rebounds on his way to 13 boards overall in just 24 minutes of action. Though he's seen a reduced role since the All-Star break -- in large part due to the addition of Serge Ibaka, who often plays center -- the 24-year-old big man is still averaging 8.2 rebounds in just 21.9 minutes of action over his past 12 games while shooting 60.4 percent from the field for 10.9 points per game. While his fantasy value has certainly dipped slightly since Ibaka joined the team, it likely doesn't warrant dropping Valanciunas unless a better option is clearly available.
