2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (quad) will sit Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Valanciunas left Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers after landing awkwardly on a dunk attempt. Valanciunas was originally ruled out for a knee injury, but after a clean MRI came back, he is reportedly only dealing with soreness in his quadriceps. This is very good news for New Orleans and fantasy managers everywhere as Valanciunas appears to have avoided a major injury. Larry Nance Jr. and Jaxson Hayes should see increased value while Valanciunas sits.--Dale Johnson
