5 years agoMemphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas snatched a team-high 13 rebounds during Wednesday’s victory over the New York Knicks, leading to his fourth double-double in his last six outings, as he added 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. Valanciunas has reeled off an average of 12.1 boards per contest over his last nine outings, which has put him on pace to post a double-double across the entire year for the first time in his career. With their 10th win in their last 12 contests coming Wednesday, Memphis’ position in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture bodes well for their leading rebounder moving forward, as he is likely to be furthered relied upon over the season’s final two-plus months.--Jesse Borek
