Looks like JV is out of the starting lineup in favour of Amir. I think it's the right thing in terms of his development, through predictably there's a lot of outrage from some fans. It feels like he's hit a bit of a wall lately, and some success against backups would be good for him, rather than battling the best centres in the league for the first 10 minutes every night. I would expect Davis and Valanciunas together to really provide a spark for the second unit.

edit: I got ahead of myself. Turns out this was media speculation based on Casey's quotes, and JV will infact be starting tonight against the Jazz.
