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.
