Solomon Hill Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

The Hawks will be changing up their lineup, as they elect to start Kevin Huerter over Solomon Hill for game 4. Hill had been starting but playing very spotty minutes, so this is not totally unexpected. Huerter will now get a few more minutes as a result, while Hill and Snell will compete for backup wing minutes, with neither being likely to get many.

The Hawks are rolling with Okongwu at center, and he'll likely be the safest bet for big minutes for the team. Trae, Collins, and Hill will all get the start, but are likely to have their minutes managed. Hunter has been on a minutes limit, so despite these players starting, the best values may end up coming from the bench, other than Okongwu.

Solomon Hill hops into the starting lineup over Kevin Huerter, a mild surprise. Hill rarely produces well per minute and is tough to prioritize, now that De'Andre Hunter is back as well. Kevin Huerter will come off the bench and has a lower ceiling as a result, so he's tough to play as well with all the Hawks healthy.

Tony Snell gets the start in his first game back, alongside Trae Young making his return as well. Hill stays in the starting lineup as well. This is a boost for Snell, but he usually doesn't produce enough minutes in order to be viable, and today seems no different.

Lou Will will get the start for the Hawks, which certainly increases his floor and ceiling by a good amount. We are projecting him for 30 minutes, and he should be a great value play as a result. Goodwin will get the start and may end up playing hefty minutes, but his price has gone up from the last time he was popular. Solomon Hill will start and likely play heavy minutes but not produce at a high rate.

In a pretty big shock, Brandon Goodwin will not be starting for the Hawks; he'll be coming off the bench as the Hawks run with point Huerter/Bogdanovic. Okongwu does get the start and will be a great value at minimum price across the industry, while Solomon Hill joins the starting lineup but rarely produces per minute. Okongwu the biggest winner for sure of this lineup, while Goodwin the biggest loser as he won't be in line for his huge minutes. Collins also isn't as good of a play as he was had he been at center.

Miller has officially been downgraded from questionable and won't play in Saturday’s matchup against the Houston Rockets due to an illness that forced him to miss the second half of Friday’s win, while Nikola Mirotic will miss his eighth consecutive game because of a right ankle injury. Following Miller's exit in the previous contest, Solomon Hill started the second half along with E’Twaun Moore, while Hill managed to play just under 33 minutes in relief but was ultimately still relatively uninspiring from a fantasy perspective. The absence of Mirotic will allow Julius Randle to continue logging heavy minutes as the starting power forward alongside Anthony Davis in the frontcourt, and he still ranks second on the Pelicans with a 27.9% usage rate and is averaging 1.29 DraftKings and 1.27 FanDuel points on the season.

Darius Miller starting Sunday, shifting Solomon Hill to the bench. Miller isn't a recommended DFS option with Julius Randle healthy, as the Pelicans offense remains heavily spread between AD, Jrue Holiday and Randle. Hill is completely off the DFS radar.

Head coach Alvin Gentry has opted to make a change to his starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks and will start Solomon Hill at small forward ahead of E'Twaun Moore in an effort to get some more offensive punch off the bench with Julius Randle starting for the injured Nikola Mirotic at power forward. Randle has been productive when given the opportunity to start in the past, as he owns a 28.3% usage rate and is averaging 1.31 DraftKings and 1.27 FanDuel with Mirotic and Elfrid Payton off the court this season. On top of that, Randle is coming off of a career performance in 39 minutes of action in Monday’s loss, keeping his ceiling astronomically high if even approaches that amount of playing time this evening. Additionally, with Andrew Harrison available to make his Pelicans debut, the minute floor of Tim Frazier may be in jeopardy with two serviceable point guards in Harrison and Ian Clark now behind him in the rotation

Frazier will start at point guard in Wednesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors, which will send Solomon Hill back to the bench to resume a reserve role. With Darius Miller and Elfrid Payton already confirmed as inactive, Hill should continue to see significant playing time with the second unit, though he still only logged 19 minutes in the Pelicans previous game. Julius Randle and Jahlil Okafor alternated starts at center in Anthony Davis’ absence, but both will head back to the bench to resume reserve roles with Davis making his return to the starting lineup this evening. Jrue Holiday continues to be the main beneficiary with Payton sidelined, as he’s taken over as the primary playmaker in the starting unit and is averaging 1.26 DraftKings and 1.24 FanDuel points per minute with a 28.6% usage rate with him off the court.
