Ian Mahinmi (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: With the departure of Roy Hibbert last offseason, Ian Mahinmi has started all 33 games for which he was active this year for the Indiana Pacers. Now in his eighth season in the NBA, Mahinmi is seeing career highs in minutes (24.2), points (8.2), rebounds (7.2), assists (1.4), blocks (1.0) and steals (0.9). He also has his highest field goal percentage (59%) since 2009-'10.

Over his last 18 games with at least 20 minutes, Mahinmi has produced 10.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, so if he continues to see a lot of court action, his numbers could even improve across the board. He is never going to be a 20-point scorer, but he is a double-double threat every night. While he is not the most exciting potential pickup in fantasy leagues, his consistent production make him decently appealing in deep leagues.
