Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas: Doubtful for Game 3

Valanciunas (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, according to head coach Dwane Casey, Eric Smith of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Casey said that it is essentially wishful thinking that the center will play in Game 3, so consider it unlikely that Valanciunas sees the floor as the two teams square off in Toronto Saturday. It's becoming more and more likely that the big man will be out for the remainder of the series, especially if the Cavaliers end things early. Bismack Biyombo and Patrick Patterson will continue to shoulder the minutes load in the frontcourt moving forward.
