Raymond Felton will come off the bench in Game 5 versus the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of Fox Sports Southwest reports.

Felton will come off the bench for Monday's Game 5 versus the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Felton has been playing some of his best ball of the season in the series, which makes his move to bench somewhat of a surprise as the Mavs look to stave off elimination. Coach Rick Carlisle may just be opting to go with a bigger lineup to counter the Thunder's size advantage up front, but Felton should still be in line for a heaping helping of minutes off the bench while Deron Williams (sports hernia) remains unavailable.
