Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey still has hopes of getting center Jonas Valanciunas on the floor against the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals and the longer the series drags on the more plausible that seems.

We just have to make sure that he has a matchup and he’s not out there chasing 3-point shooters all around the perimeter.
