Hill (upper respiratory infection) has officially been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Sixers.

Analysis:

Hill has been dealing with an upper respiratory infection since Sunday and hasn't been able to fully recover quite yet, which will force him to miss his second straight game. Following Wednesday's outing, the Pacers don't play until Saturday against Milwaukee, which should give him three extra days of rest. Once again, look for Monta Ellis to move over to point guard to replace Hill, while Chase Budinger likely remains the starting lineup at shooting guard if Rodney Stuckey (ankle) is forced to miss another game.
