Coach Dwane Casey could look to insert Patrick Patterson or Amir Johnson into the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3, according to TSN's Josh Lewenberg.

Analysis:

This is mostly speculation on Lewenberg's part, but with the Raptors down 2-0 as the series shifts to Washington it's reasonable to think Casey will mix things up. Johnson, who was hurt near the end of the regular season, has been the starter for most of the year, while Patterson would give Toronto another perimeter shooting threat. In his two starts thus far, Hansbrough has played only 25 combined minutes, scoring four total points (all in Game 1) and failing to grab a single rebound.
