Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks on 6-of-10 shooting in 29 minutes on Wednesday.

His rookie season is in the books and the sky's the limit for the talented big man. He should make for a very solid choice at center in all fantasy leagues next year, as he appears to be locked into the starting role until further notice.

Jonas Valanciunas returned to the lineup from his neck injury, scoring 13 points with eight boards and three blocks in 33 minutes against the Hawks on Tuesday.

He looked healthy in this game and shot 4-of-5 from the field and 5-of-6 from the line. The Raptors may have found their center for the future and he's really come on strong lately. JV averaged 14.6 points, 5.2 boards and 2.2 blocks on 51.4 percent shooting in his previous April games and he's likely going to be someone to target in drafts next season.

Jonas Valanciunas (neck) will play in Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

It will be Valanciunas' first game in a week, but he's right back into the starting lineup. For owners looking to gobble up big-man stats on this two-game night, he's worth a roll of the dice. In the five games before going down, Valanciunas was averaging 14.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per night. The Raptors starting five: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson and Valanciunas.

Jonas Valanciunas (neck) remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

Valanciunas did travel to Atlanta for the game, but it's unclear if he participated in the shootaround. For what it's worth, the Toronto Star lists the Raptors' "probable" starters as Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson and Aaron Gray. We'll have official word on Valanciunas' status about an hour before the 8 p.m. ET tip.

Jonas Valanciunas (neck) will not play against the Nets on Sunday.

After not practicing on Saturday, the Raptors made him a game-time decision. Valanciunas had to go to the hospital on Tuesday with his neck injury to check for whiplash and the team is taking it slow with him. There's a decent chance he can play on Tuesday against the Hawks. If Amir Johnson avoids foul trouble, he should have a big day against the Nets. Quincy Acy and Terrence Ross should also get some extra playing time.

Jonas Valanciunas (neck) did not practice on Saturday and is a game-time call for Sunday's game against the Nets.

He missed Friday's game against the Bulls, but he did some light cardio on Saturday and there's a chance he can play. Quincy Acy just missed a double-double on Friday and would benefit from JV sitting out again. Amir Johnson should be considered a must-start either way.
