4 years agoMemphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas played only 27 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Phoenix, but he was extremely busy in limited minutes with a team-high 24 points, 17 rebounds, and two steals. Valanciunas missed only three of his 14 attempts from the field. The big Lithuanian returned from the All-Star break with a 20-20 game, and he's been a double-double machine all year, so while the next matchup against Bam Adebayo and the Heat looks tricky on paper, it wouldn't be surprising to see him posting another big line. Valanciunas will enter the contest having notched 24 double-doubles in 31 games this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
