Mahinmi (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Pistons.

Analysis:

The fact that Mahinmi hasn't been ruled out yet for Saturday's game is certainly a good sign, but because he's already missed the last four games with a sore back, the Pacers could still opt to hold him out a little longer. The Pacers will likely have a better idea on his availability -- or lack thereof -- closer to game time, but if Mahinmi is ultimately unable to suit up, Jordan Hill would garner another start at center.
