Jamal Crawford will continue to be used off the bench for Game 5 of the Clippers' series against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday

Crawford will continue to be used off the bench for Game 5 of the Clippers' series against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Arash Markazi of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Despite the rash of injuries to the Clippers' regular starting lineup, coach Doc Rivers will continue to use Crawford as the first guy off the bench Wednesday rather than deploying him into the starting lineup. That said, Crawford still figures to see a significant number of minutes for the remainder of the series and potentially beyond if the Clippers can advance to the second round. Austin Rivers and J.J Redick are expected to be the Clippers' starting guard combo Wednesday.
