Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas: Struggles on offense Thursday

Valanciunas tallied two points (0-2 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes during Thursday's 101-84 victory over the Heat.

Analysis:

The combination of teammate DeMar DeRozan dropping 40 points and the tough defense of opposition center Hassan Whiteside led to a lackluster performance by Valanciunas on the offensive end -- missing both of his attempts from the field and committing three turnovers. That being said, he cleaned the glass and protected the rim well in limited minutes, providing fantasy value in those categories. He's rebounded well over the past eight games, grabbing 9.6 boards across just 24.8 minutes per contest.
