Hill closed with nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists over 18 minutes during Friday's 122-115 loss to the Pistons.
Hill made a rare appearance Friday, joining a host of fringe players who also found themselves thrust into larger roles. As is par for the course at this time of the year, the Pacers have thrown in the towel, affording someone like Hill a chance to get some reps in before the season is over. From a fantasy perspective, there is nothing to see here.
Hill amassed 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 victory over the Bucks.
With Tyrese Haliburton (knee), Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) and Chris Duarte (ankle) all sidelined, Hill played his most minutes since Dec. 28 and posted a season-high 15 points thanks to an extremely efficient shooting night. Haliburton is expected to miss at least two more games, so Hill should continue to be part of the Pacers' rotation during that stretch, though he's unlikely to shoot this well on a nightly basis.

Pacers' George Hill: Off injury report
Rotowire
Hill isn't listed on the Pacers' injury report and should be available for Monday's game against the Jazz.
After being acquired from the Bucks on Thursday, Hill proceeded to miss the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday and Saturday versus the Suns and Wizards, respectively. Now that he's had more time to get acclimated to his new organization, Hill looks like he'll get the chance to dress Monday, though the Pacers may not work him into the rotation unless point guard Tyrese Haliburton (thigh) -- who is listed as questionable -- is unable to play.

Pacers' George Hill: Won't debut Saturday
Rotowire
Hill (trade) will not make his Pacers debut Saturday against the Wizards.
Hill's next chance to play arrives Monday against the Jazz. There's a possibility he's bought out, though the Pacers are showing a desire to be competitive. Either way, he's not expected to be fantasy relevant in any role this season.

Pacers' George Hill: Won't debut Friday
Rotowire
Hill (trade pending) is listed out for Friday's game versus the Suns.
Hill and Jordan Nwora will both have to wait at least until Saturday's matchup with Washington to make their season debuts with the Pacers. When available, Hill will likely compete with T.J. McConnell for backup point guard minutes.
The Pacers received Hill, Jordan Nwora, Serge Ibaka and two second-round picks from the Bucks on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent Jae Crowder to Milwaukee and three future second-round picks to the Nets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After he had largely fallen out of the rotation, the Bucks opted to move on from Hill, who looks poised to handle a similar low-minute depth role in Indiana. Though the Pacers don't profile as a contender, the 36-year-old is an Indiana native and was presumably receptive to a return to the club with whom he enjoyed the bests seasons of his career from 2011-12 through 2015-16.
Hill (illness) played 12 minutes and finished with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in Friday's 138-109 loss to the Hornets.
Hill reclaimed a small role in the Milwaukee rotation after missing the previous four games with the illness. Even though he's healthy again, the 36-year-old Hill is unlikely to see his playing time expand much while Jrue Holiday is available.

Bucks' George Hill: Likely to return Friday
Rotowire
Hill (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Hill has missed the last four games due to an illness, but he'll likely be cleared to return to action Friday. He had been out of the Bucks' rotation shortly before dealing with his illness, so it's unclear whether he'll see any playing time if he's cleared to suit up against Charlotte.

Bucks' George Hill: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Hill (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards.
Hill was initially deemed probable despite missing back-to-back games and not practicing Monday with an illness. Nonetheless, the veteran guard will ultimately be sidelined for a third straight due to the aliment, though his prolonged absence shouldn't have a major impact on Milwaukee's rotation.
