George Hill (neck) starting for Thunder Thursday; Justin Jackson back to bench

Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill is in the starting five on Thursday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

This isn't a surprise. Hill missed the team's last game due to neck spasms, but he seems fully recovered after a 1-game absence. He'll immediately be reinserted into the starting lineup, joining Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the backcourt. That means Justin Jackson, who started last time out, will revert to a role off teh bench.

Our models currently project Hill for 10.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 18.1 FanDuel points across 23.3 minutes of action.
