Fantasy Analysis
Hill was able to fly back from his court date in time for Tuesday night's game and there has been no indication on when he will have to return. However, this matter is far from over. Hill will still be looking at legal penalties as well as a possible suspension from the league office, so Fantasy owners will have to keep an eye on his status moving forward. Despite posting double-digit rebounding totals in each of Los Angeles' first two playoff games, Hill's limited offensive game continues to hinder his value to that of a low-end option.

Houston has an opening for a starting center and Jordan Hill is hoping he fits the bill. Hills is entering his second full season with the Rockets after he was acquired from New York in his rookie year. Being a reserve player so far in his career, Hill hasn't had a chance to prove himself. He's coming off a campaign where he averaged 5.6 points and 4.2 boards in 72 games for Houston. With Chuck Hayes no longer on the team, Hill has a chance to claim a starting job, which would give his Fantasy value a boost. Owners should monitor him and in leagues that allow dual eligibility plan on using him as a low-end No. 2 center or reserve forward option. Consider him a late-round choice on Draft Day.
