FILE - In this Feb. 24, 2020, file photo, Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (3) goes to the basket next to Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (14) during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Washington. Hill was shooting 48% from 3-point range - well above his career average of 38.5% and light years better than his 2018-19 average of 28% - before the stoppage in play. The 34-year-old guard as well as teammate Donte DiVincenzo could be even bigger factors in the early part of the restart since Bucks teammates Eric Bledsoe and Pat Connaughton have tested positive for coronavirus, though both are now in Florida.
