Hill (illness) will return to the lineup Tuesday against Washington, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

An upper-respiratory infection kept Hill out of the last three contests, but he'll officially return Tuesday after initially being listed as probable. Hill's return likely means Chase Budinger will move back to the bench, as Monta Ellis shifts back to his regular shooting guard spot.
