Raptors’ Valanciunas ‘will be ready’ ahead of Game 1 against Bucks

Valanciunas comes into the series playing some of his best, most consistent basketball of the season.

Over the last 10 games, Valanciunas has averaged 12.7 points and 9.4 rebounds while shooting nearly 63 per cent from the field. If he keeps that up, he gives the Raptors a decided advantage inside.

Jonas Valanciunas is used to seeing all kinds of different centres from game to game over the course of an NBA season, opponents who operate in the low post and out by the three point line, big and strong big men and long and lithe ones.
