Jonas Valanciunas Enjoys A Big Night Against The Bucks
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas had by far the most productive performance of the season Monday against the Bucks, scoring 37 points and posting 18 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes. Somehow, the Pelicans couldn't mold Valanciunas' big effort into a victory, dropping the game 128-119. His work included a 7-for-10 performance from downtown, and Valanciunas shot 14-for-24 overall from the field. The big Lithuanian has had a relatively quiet campaign, with his minutes having taken a big dip, but Monday was a great reminder of what he can do. He should have another solid night Thursday against the Spurs, who have given up 21.5 points and 10.5 rebounds to Valanciunas in two previous matchups this season.
