Mahinmi is doubtful to play Thursday against the Raptors due to a sore lower back.

Analysis:

This is the first we've heard of the ailment, but it appears Mahinmi's status is in serious jeopardy, though the Pacers have stopped short of ruling him out entirely. If Mahinmi ultimately sits, either Jordan Hill and Lavoy Allen would likely enter the starting lineup, with both seeing increased minutes. Hill would make for the more attractive DFS play of the pair due to his more expansive offensive repertoire.
