Valanciunas (hand) is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against the Pacers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Valanciunas left Monday's game against the Bulls early with a bruise on his left hand, and while X-rays came back negative, he remains in a good deal of pain. He ultimately sat out Tuesday's win over the Bucks, and while coach Dwane Casey indicated that Valanciunas is feeling better, the center still looks on tap to miss a second straight game. Bismack Biyombo figures to pick up another start Thursday if Valanciunas can't go.
