Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas will come off the bench on Friday versus the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
JV got the start at center on Wednesday and played over 25 minutes for the first time this season with Serge Ibaka out. Ibaka will return to start on Friday with Valanciuans resuming his reserve role with 20-ish minutes against Boston.
Our models project Valanciunas for 24.1 Fanduel points in 19.9 minutes on Friday.
