Looking at Ian Mahinmi as a Daily Spot Start

One of our followers on Twitter asks if Ian Mahinmi is a decent start given Roy Hibbert’s suspension. James Goldstein speculated in his lineup piece that IND will play more small lineups with Hibbert’s absence. That strikes me as being correct. However, given Mahinmi’s low salary on most sites, there’s probably some value in playing him tonight. We can actually look at a correlation matrix to see which players’ playing time and fantasy scoring enjoys the most negative correlation with Hibbert’s. Here are the correlations between Hibbert’s fantasy scoring and the fantasy scoring of his teammates. You can see that Mahinmi does enjoy the most negative correlation (when Hibbert’s scoring goes up, Mahinmi’s generally goes down and vice versa).
