Hill (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.
The ankle injury will sideline Hill for a second consecutive game, but the Pacers aren't viewing it as an overly worrisome situation just yet. Once healthy, Hill will fill a bench role for the Pacers.

Hill (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason matchup with Orlando, Candace Buckner of the Indy Star reports.
Hill is dealing with a minor ankle injury and will be held out, likely as a precaution. The third-year forward scored 10 points in Saturday's preseason opener against New Orleans and followed up with six points in 14 minutes Tuesday night in Detroit.

Hill is looking to develop as a leader for a young Pacers squad as he heads into his third straight summer league, the Indy Star reports. "We're running the same stuff here that we run during the year," Hill said. "If I can help guys get it right the first time that's what I'm here for. Myles [Turner] is 19 years old. He's not going to get everything right away, and my job is to make it easy for him."
Coming off an impressive 2014-15 campaign in which he started 78 games, Hill is primarily on the Orlando Summer League team in order to help rookies transition into the league. Through two games starting at small forward in Orlando, Hill has averaged 6.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.5 steals in 27 minutes per game. With the return of a healthy Paul George, the resigning of Rodney Stuckey, and the signing of Monta Ellis, Hill could see a decline in minutes. However, if George sees more minutes at power forward, due to the team's lack of depth there, Hill could see equal playing time to last season.

Hill averaged 8.9 points (40% FG, 33% 3PT, 83% FT), 0.8 three-pointers, 2.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 29 minutes per game for 82 regular season games in 2014-15.
In his second year in the NBA, Hill saw a lot of action, starting in 78 games due to an injury-plagued Pacers roster. During November, he averaged 13.1 points, 1.1 three-pointers, 1.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals with George Hill, Rodney Stuckey, and C.J. Miles all dealing with injuries that month. Once the Pacers became healthy, though, Hill's production shrank as competition grew for minutes, limiting his upside for use in fantasy. The 24-year-old small forward should have less competition for minutes in 2015-16, with Rodney Stuckey leaving in free agency, and the possible losses of David West and Roy Hibbert if they decline their player options. Team president Larry Bird also wants Paul George to play some power forward next season, which would allow Hill to get more minutes at small forward. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on the Pacers' offseason moves to better gauge Hill's role in 2015-16.

Hill played in Sunday's game despite dealing with an illness but was held to 14 minutes in a win over the Mavericks. He finished the game with two points (1-2 FG) and six assists.
In March, Hill was averaging 26.9 minutes per game, so he was clearly held back by the illness. He had played in at least 23 minutes in each of his past 13 games but now has scoring games in the single digits in three of his past four appearances.

Hill is dealing with an illness but will play in Sunday's game against the Sixers.
Hill will likely be able to take on his full workload Sunday despite his illness. Over his past four games, he's averaging 20.3 minutes on the court as he continues to start.

Hill posted 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal during Wednesday's start against the Pelicans.
Hill has enjoyed numerous stints in the starting lineup and it appears that he'll continue to have the edge over Rodney Stuckey when play resumes after the All-Star break. That being said, Hill is only averaging 9.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steal, 0.2 blocks on 31.0 minutes per game this season and is lackluster option in standard leagues.
Wed Feb 11 201520:01Hill will start Wednesday in New Orleans
Hill will start Wednesday in New Orleans, the Pelicans' official site reports.
Hill will remain in the starting five over Rodney Stuckey. In 11 nods as a starting guard this season, Hill has averaged 12.1 points (on 36 percent shooting), 5.4 rebounds, two assists, and 1.1 steals in 36 minutes.
Mon Feb 9 201503:54Hill scored nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3), to go with four ...
Hill scored nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3), to go with four rebounds, and three assists in 24 minutes on Sunday.
Hill is in a rotation with C.J. Miles and Rodney Stuckey over the shooting guard spot in Indiana. The result limits the upside for all three players, which makes Hill a guy that should be left on the waiver wires.
Sat Feb 7 201501:28Hill scored 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 FT) and added four rebounds, ...
Hill scored 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 FT) and added four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 36 minutes against the Cavaliers Friday.
Hill took Rodney Stuckey's starting spot for Friday, drawing LeBron James as his defensive assignment. Hill and Stuckey have rotated into and out of the starting lineup all season, and it is unlikely that Friday will represent the last of those swaps. Whether or not he starts, Hill retains a stable roll in the Pacers' rotation, even though he carries limited fantasy value.
Fri Feb 6 201518:37Hill will start at small forward Tuesday against Heat
Hill will start at small forward Tuesday against the Heat, the Indianapolis Star's Candace Buckner reports.
He has been in and out of the Pacers' starting lineup this season, and will be tasked with guarding LeBron James for much of Friday's game. With this in mind, he should not be expected to do much on offense. Rodney Stuckey goes to the bench as a corresponding move.
Wed Feb 4 201518:44Hill will come off bench for Wednesday's game against Pistons
Hill will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Candace Buckner of the Indy Star reports. He was replaced in the starting lineup by C.J. Miles.
Hill has started 48 of the 49 games he's played in this season. In his one game off the bench, Hill put up 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and one three-pointer in 30 minutes. Given how many minutes Hill played the last time he was sent to the bench, fantasy managers should hold onto him until we see how many minutes he's going to play in a bench role. Miles has started nine games this season, playing 25 minutes per game and shooting 30 percent from the field.
Sat Jan 17 201513:31Hill continues to start for Pacers in second season
Hill continues to start for the Pacers in his second season. He is averaging 32 minutes a game.
As long as the second year forward gets minutes he will produce in steals and free throw percentage. He is averaging one steal per game and is shooting 80 percent from the stripe. The 23 year-old also adds 10.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, which aren't great numbers but in deeper leagues Hill has value.

Hill scored 10 points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes of action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Hill has not been flashy. He does not produce gaudy scoring numbers - his season high is a 28 point outing against the Wizards - but he does produce in other categories to make himself fantasy relevant. He is averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.0 block and 0.8 3PM per game over his last four games. He is hitting every category and that's what builds solid fantasy teams.

Hill scored eight points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and added seven rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes of action on Saturday against the Portland Trailblazers.
Despite the start and the extra minutes (37), Hill was unable to really contribute in a fantasy-meaningful way. The rebounds are nice, but the Pacers need people to score in order to fill the void left by Paul George. This outing showed little fantasy promise.
Sat Dec 13 201417:36Hill will start Saturday against Blazers
Hill will start Saturday against the Blazers.
Hill's transition to the bench lasted all of one game, as a knee injury to C.J. Miles will necessitate his return to the starting lineup. The 23-year-old Hill has averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 32.3 minutes so far this season, but only 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds so far in December.
Fri Dec 12 201422:26Hill scored 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3P, 5-6 FT) with three reboun...
Hill scored 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3P, 5-6 FT) with three rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 30 minutes off the bench Friday.
Despite shifting to the second unit on Friday, Hill still got plenty of run after CJ Miles injured his knee during the game. If Miles misses any further time, look for Hill to move back into the starting lineup.
Fri Dec 12 201418:19Hill will come off bench Friday
Hill will come off the bench Friday, Fox Sports Indiana's Jeremiah Johnson reports.
Rodney Stuckey will move to the shooting guard spot, with C.J. Watson playing point guard. Hill will remain a key part of the Pacers' rotation, but his fantasy value takes a hit here.
Fri Dec 5 201400:36Hill shot 63.6 percent from floor in loss to Trail Blazers on Fr...
Hill shot 63.6 percent from the floor in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, scoring 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt).
Hill rebounded nicely from a poor shooting night Tuesday against the Suns. In addition to his scoring, Hill had eight rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal. Owners will want to continue to use Hill as the hot hand, but once George Hill returns, there's no telling what Frank Vogel's rotations will look like.
Sat Nov 15 201423:38Hill provided 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) with 12 rebou...
Hill provided 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) with 12 rebounds in the surprise win over the Bulls on Saturday. He played 33 minutes.
With the Pacer decimated by injuries, Hill is getting plenty of playing time. He had only hit 11-of-40 (27.5 percent) in his previous three games, but he broke out nicely against Chicago. Hill is worth owning, but fantasy owners may not want to play him every game.
