Ian Mahinmi (back) will play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Raptors

Mahinmi (back) will play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Raptors, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi continues to nurse a lower-back sprain, but will once again play through the injury Tuesday night. In Game 4, the center came through with by far his best game of the series, logging 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a block in 33 minutes. It seems likely Mahinmi will be in the starting lineup again Tuesday after starting all of the previous four games of the series.
