Pacers' Monta Ellis, George Hill will play on Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guards George Hill and Monta Ellis will play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons.
In his first season with the Pacers, Ellis is unlikely to continue the usage rate he saw in Dallas. With that said, he will eat into Hill's numbers. Indiana is aiming to play faster, which figures to benefit both Ellis and Hill.
A year ago, Ellis averaged 18.9 points while dishing out 4.1 assists. With Paul George out last year, Hill posted career-best numbers across the board, averaging 16.1 points, 5.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds.
