Mahinmi (back) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Jeremiah Johnson of FOX Sports Indiana reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Mahinimi will miss his third straight game, but the big man remains optimistic that he'll be ready to go by Friday's game against the Hawks. Jordan Hill is expected to pick up another start at center in Mahinmi's place and should make for an attractive DFS option on the cheap.
