Butler will come off the bench Monday for Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Clippers, Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Thabo Sefolosha will get the start in a surprise move, as Sefolosha was a healthy scratch in the last two games of the Thunder's first-round series. It's unclear what Butler's role will be going forward, but this isn't a good omen for his value in daily leagues, at least in Game 1.
