Hawks' Kyle Korver: Will come off the bench Friday

Korver will come off the bench for Friday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Korver played and started in 80 regular season games, as well as every game of the playoffs to date. However, after Korver provided a combined 10 points in 57 minutes over the first two games of the series, coach Mike Budenholzer wil look to shake things up as the series shifts to Atlanta with the Hawks facing a 2-0 deficit. In Korver's stead, Thabo Sefolosha will enter the starting lineup on the wing, giving the Hawks a tougher defender to slow down LeBron James and/or J.R. Smith. Korver should still see plenty of usage off the bench, but his playing time could suffer as a result.
