    Hill is expected to play tonight when the Orlando Magic (19-29) face the Boston Celtics (19-31), but he won't be a starter. He'll back up Hedo Turkoglu at small forward in a flip-flop of their usual roles.

    Hill says it's the first time in his 12-year NBA career that he'll come off the bench, declaring he was used as a reserve only in college and in the 1996 Olympics.

    His memory also must be failing. A check of the records shows Hill started 69 of 70 games in the 1994-95 season as a rookie for the Detroit Pistons.

    Hill has missed the past 13 games while in his second rehab stint for sports hernia surgery performed Oct. 31. He's played in 11 of the Magic's 48 games, and the club wants to ease Hill back into the action this time.</div>

    Hill has 7 pts and its half time, so far it is a pretty solid game. Also this is Hill's 2nd game he has not started in.

    He has played extremely well so far and has caught Paul Pierce off guard several times on offense. If he can continue to work his way into the starting lineup and perform like he has tonight, we should be able to win a few more games.

    hopefully he will start next game (Hedo doesn't mind coming off the bench) it seemed like starting means more to Hill.
