Unable to return
Valanciunas (calf) did not return to Wednesday's game against the Raptors. He finished with 17 points (5-6 FG, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and three blocks in 23 minutes.
Analyse
Valanciunas started this game for Nikola Jokic (knee) with Denver's franchise player expected to miss several weeks. Valanciunas started off hot, but he suffered a calf strain and hobbled to the locker room, never to return -- he was deemed as questionable to return to the floor. If the big man ends up missing time, the Nuggets will likely turn to DaRon Holmes after he put in a productive shift to close this game out.

Questionable to return
Valanciunas is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a right calf strain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analyse
The Nuggets can't seem to catch a break, as Valanciunas started this game in the absence of the injured Nikola Jokic (knee). If Valanciunas ends up missing time, DaRon Holmes is the next man up at center for the Nuggets.

Enters starting lineup
Valanciunas will start Wednesday against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
This is an expected move with Nikola Jokic (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks for Denver. As a strong per-minute produced in points and rebounds, Valanciunas has been a popular pickup in fantasy hoops.

Plays 16 minutes in loss
Valanciunas notched six points (3-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to Miami.
Analyse
Nikola Jokic left this game with a knee injury and looked to be in a lot of discomfort. If he ends up missing any time, Valanciunas is the next man up for Denver and would likely slot in as the fill-in starter. If that happens, his per-minute upside would make him an obvious grab in fantasy hoops.

Analyse
As expected, Valanciunas will play through his illness. The backup center is averaging 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes during December.

Probable for Thursday
Valanciunas (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analyse
