Valanciunas (nose) is considered probable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, the Toronto Star reports.

Analysis:

Valanciunas suffered both a facial contusion and a right hand issue during Tuesday's game against the Thunder. Fortunately, post-game X-rays on both ailments returned negative, so Valanciunas stands a decent chance of suiting up Wednesday in Boston. While confirmation on his status should come some time before tip-off, backup center Greg Stiemsma would stand to benefit, should Valanciunas be limited in any capacity.
