Hansbrough will move to the bench in Friday's Game 3 against the Wizards.
Analysis:
Hansbrough enjoyed starts in the first two games of the series but will give way to Amir Johnson on Friday as the Raptors desperately need to tally their first playoff win. The newly demoted Hansbrough only averaged 12.5 minutes in Games 1 and 2 and could still see around that same total off the bench in Game 3.
