Jonas Valanciunas: Ruled out for rest of series

Valanciunas’ ankle injury appears to be slightly more serious than originally thought, as he’s already been ruled out for the rest of the Raptors’ second-round series against the Heat. The Heat also announced they’ll likely be without their starting center, Hassan Whiteside, so it appears Monday’s outing will be a battle of the backups. With Valanciunas ruled out, Bismack Biyombo should move into the starting lineup and will likely see a big jump in his fantasy value. Considering Valanciunas remains without a concrete timetable for return, we should see his status updated again later in the week.
