Jonas ValanciunasC, Memphis GrizzliesJonas Valanciunas made his living on the boards on Sunday vs. the Wizards, going for eight points (4-of-8 FG), 18 rebounds and two blocks.
Valanciunas did not do much beyond the rebounding, but it is hard to knock that number. He has had double-digit boards in six out of his last seven contests, and he has had a surge in blocks as well. He's on pace for a career-high in rebounds and will be right there in blocks. Jaren Jackson Jr. had a more diverse night of work with 14 points (6-of-16 FG), 11 rebounds, one 3-pointer and one block. They are both reliable mid-round plays with Valanciunas focusing on the rebounding and Jackson offering 3-pointers.
