Hield chipped in five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 99-93 victory over the Rockets. Hield is mostly dependent on his three-point stroke, and it was not dialed in during the win. Coach Steve Kerr was likely looking for a production spark in the backcourt during Stephen Curry's (rest) absence, and Lindy Waters hasn't done enough to keep a starting role at off-guard. While Hield possesses enormous upside, he's a boom-or-bust option who will sometimes fall short of expectations.

Buddy Hield Latest News
Disappoints in starting role
Hield chipped in five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 99-93 victory over the Rockets. Hield is mostly dependent on his three-point stroke, and it was not dialed in during the win. Coach Steve Kerr was likely looking for a production spark in the backcourt during Stephen Curry's (rest) absence, and Lindy Waters hasn't done enough to keep a starting role at off-guard. While Hield possesses enormous upside, he's a boom-or-bust option who will sometimes fall short of expectations.
Starting vs. Houston
Hield is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockets. The Warriors won't have Stephen Curry (rest) for this game, so Hield will jump into the starting lineup and will slot alongside Brandin Podziemski in the backcourt. Hield is averaging 14.9 points per game while shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range this season.
Makes history in Saturday's loss
Hield ended Saturday's 104-94 loss to the Spurs with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound and four assists across 24 minutes. The three three-pointers made in this game allowed Hield to surpass Joe Johnson for 19th on the NBA's all-time list for three-pointers made. Hield continues to make a huge impact off the bench for Golden State, scoring in double digits in all but one of his last six contests, but it's not a secret that his numbers have regressed considerably when compared to the figures he posted in the first few weeks of the campaign. Even with this expected regression, Hield remains a capable fantasy performer in most formats as long as he's knocking down threes on a steady basis.
Leading scorer off bench in win
Hield produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-118 win over Memphis. The veteran wing led his team in scoring on a night when six different Warriors produced double-digit points. The 30 minutes represented Hield's biggest workload since Nov. 2, but he's seen as few as 19 minutes in a game this month as his role remains inconsistent. Through 12 contests to begin his Golden State tenure, Hield is averaging 17.7 points, 4.0 boards, 3.8 threes, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.0 minutes a game, on what would be career-best shooting of 49.4 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from long distance.
Goes for 14 points in reserve role
Hield closed Tuesday's 120-117 victory over the Mavericks with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), one rebound and two steals over 21 minutes. Hield is an offensive catalyst who will sometimes have to take a back seat when the first unit is playing well. Stephen Curry has been unstoppable over the past two games, and Hield's ability to get going is indirectly tied to Curry's minutes. Still, Hield is a great three-point source for category leagues and will rarely dip below 20 minutes of court time.
Another strong showing
Hield closed Monday's 125-112 victory over the Wizards with 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes. Hield has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and six times through seven appearances. He's also recorded eight steals and four blocks over his past six games, showing he's not just a three-point specialist. With Stephen Curry (ankle) back, Hield's usage figures to wane, but coach Steve Kerr hasn't been shy about riding the hot hand this season.
Powers squad to another win
Hield chipped in 27 points (9-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 overtime victory over the Rockets. Hield came off the bench for a second straight game, and he continues to show how effective he can be a sixth man. He led the Warriors with 27 points with the help of six made triples. Hield has drilled four or more threes in each of his last three appearances, knocking down 51.5 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc during this hot stretch.
Leads team to complete sweep
Hield provided 21 points (8-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 win over the Pelicans. Hield's move to the second unit was an interesting twist in the back end of this two-game tilt with the Pelicans. Coach Steve Kerr must have really liked what he saw from Lindy Waters, as he got the promotion to the first unit but struggled in the new role. Enter Hield, who is extremely comfortable in a sixth-man role. Once Stephen Curry (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (back) return, that's where Hield will be for most of the season. As the first man off the bench, his sharpshooting skills will bridge the scoring gap, especially when Curry takes a break.
Not starting Wednesday
Hield will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Hield dropped 28 points on 9-for-18 shooting in his first start of the season Tuesday, but he'll move back to the bench Wednesday in favor of Lindy Waters. Regardless of his reserve status, Hield should see plenty of action as the Warriors will be without Stephen Curry (ankle), De'Anthony Melton (back) and Andrew Wiggins (back) against New Orleans.
