Mahinmi will start in Thursday's Game 3 against the Raptors.

Analysis:

Mahinmi has been dealing with soreness in his back the past week but it won't keep him from taking the court on Thursday night. He could see his minutes as a starter slightly restricted because of the injury, in which case look for Lavoy Allen or Myles Turner to see some extra time at center.
