Indiana Pacers center Ian Mahinmi (back) plans to play against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.
Mahinmi's status isn't set in stone, but it's safe to expect him to be on the floor against the Raptors for Game 3 after leaving Game 2 with a back injury. While Myles Turner, Jordan Hill and Lavoy Allen all stood to see a bump in minutes if Mahinmi sat, it looks like they'll all carry their normal fantasy value.
Mahinmi had a very productive season for Indiana, checking in 34th with a 5.2 nERD. He averaged 9.3 points, 7.1 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game -- all of which are career highs. His 58.9 Effective Field Goal Percentage is a career-best mark for any season in which he played at least 30 games.
