Valanciunas will return to the bench for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Cavaliers, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

After coming off the bench for the final three games of the first round of the playoffs, the Raptors opted to push Valanciunas back into the top unit at center in Game 1 of the semifinals against the Cavaliers. However, Valanciunas struggled to get anything going and after the Raptors were defeated with ease, coach Dwane Casey will switch up his lineup yet again. That means Serge Ibaka is expected to shift over to center, with Valanciunas heading to the bench. Valanciunas hasn't seen more than 24 minutes yet this postseason and with his demotion to the second unit, he may hover around the 20-minute mark, which restricts his value.
