Jonas ValanciunasC, Memphis GrizzliesJonas Valanciunas turned 26 minutes into nine points, 16 rebounds, two assists and a block in Wednesday's easy win over the Nets.
Valanciunas is on a monster tear, grabbing 10, 25, 20, 15 and now 16 rebounds in his last five contests, with at least seven rebounds in every game dating all the way back to January 14. He has eight games of 15-plus boards in that time, compared to just three games with fewer than 10. While the blowout nature of this one limited everyone's lines, Gorgui Dieng was able to get in on the fun with six points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in just 19 minutes. Dieng has managed to maintain late-middle-round value over the last two weeks but will struggle for playing time when Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke get healthy.
