Jonas Valanciunas

C, Memphis Grizzlies

Jonas Valanciunas had a very efficient double-double in a 127-88 win over the Hawks on Monday, netting 15 points (6-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists and one 3-pointer in 25 minutes.

Valanciunas had nine first-quarter rebounds, but the Grizzlies put the game away early, so he wasn't able to reach the 20-rebound threshold again like he had in the previous two games. His 17.5 rebounds per game over his last four make him look like Andre Drummond minus the defensive stat and terrible free throw percentage. His backup, Gorgui Dieng, had a strong line with 17 points (6-of-8 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 10 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 26 minutes.
