• Warriors' Buddy Hield: Leading scorer off bench in win

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Warriors' Buddy Hield: Goes for 14 points in reserve role

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Warriors' Buddy Hield: Another strong showing

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  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.

• Warriors' Buddy Hield: Leads team to complete sweep

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
