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.

• Warriors' Buddy Hield: 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.

• Warriors' Buddy Hield: Not starting Wednesday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  Hield amassed 28 points (9-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 win over New Orleans. With Stephen Curry (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (back) sidelined, Hield started Tuesday's game. Although he experienced some struggles early in the game, he heated up down the stretch and ended up as the high scorer for the Warriors. Hield will spend most of the season in a sixth-man role, but Tuesday proved that the sharpshooter is more than capable of taking over when needed.
