Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill is out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a sprained right thumb.
Hill scored a season-high 22 points on Sunday and didn't appear to have any issues with his thumb, so it's possible Monday's absence has more to do with the Thunder playing on a back-to-back. Justin Jackson drew a start in the only other game Hill missed this season but he's been a healthy scratch in recent games. Hamidou Diallo could get the nod on Monday.
The Trail Blazers are allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season. Jackson scored 10.9 FanDuel points over 29.2 minutes in his previous start this year. Hill is recording a 16.9 percent usage rate, second-lowest on the Thunder.
