Oklahoma City's George Hill (thumb) out on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (thumb) will not play in Friday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

Hill will miss his third straight contest with a right thumb sprain. Expect Theo Maledon to log more minutes at the point guard positions in a promising matchup against a Nets' unit ranked 24th in defensive efficiency.

According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 329.5 minutes this season with Hill off the floor, Maledon is averaging 0.67 FanDuel points per minute and a 17.4% usage rate.
