Hield (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Hield and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) were traded by the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles). With the trade finalized, Hield is ready to make his debut for the Hawks, though he'll be competing with fellow veterans CJ McCollum and Gabe Vincent for minutes off the bench behind backcourt starters Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Hield averaged 11.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over 20.3 minutes per game over his last nine games with Golden State.

Hield (recently traded) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
With Wednesday's trade still pending, Hield is uncertain for his Hawks debut Saturday. If the veteran sharpshooter is out, Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert should both see a considerable workload.

The Warriors traded Hield and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) to the Hawks on Wednesday in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hield joins the Hawks after two seasons in Golden State. The 33-year-old is averaging 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 17.5 minutes per game this season while shooting what would be a career-low 34.2 percent from three-point land. He'll have to compete with Corey Kispert and Luke Kennard for minutes off the bench in Atlanta. Hield likely won't be ready in time to face the Jazz on Thursday, making Saturday against Charlotte his next chance to make his Hawks debut.

Hield produced 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 135-112 victory over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how Steve Kerr will proceed without Jimmy Butler (knee), but Hield's minutes will probably jump somewhat. He's often served as a backcourt replacement, but his sharpshooting skills can also come in handy at the wing. He'll likely be a prime pivot along with De'Anthony Melton (knee) as the Warriors try to stay relevant in the Western Conference.

Hield finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 18 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 136-116 victory over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
The 14 points were his best scoring effort since Dec. 4, while the five combined steals and blocks were a season high. Hield is still struggling to maintain a consistent spot in the rotation, but performances like this will bolster his case for regular minutes.

Hield had six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and two steals in 11 minutes during Monday's 120-107 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Hield continues to play a muted role, having now logged no more than 15 minutes in six straight games, two of which he failed to see the court. While expectations were relatively low coming into the season, Hield has been even worse, averaging just 7.5 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 17.6 minutes per game through 31 appearances. Sitting well outside the top 250 in standard leagues, it appears as though Hield's days of being a fantasy asset are now well behind him.

Hield supplied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Sunday's 141-127 overtime loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Hield's role continues to trend in the wrong direction as the Warriors look to give other rotation players a fair shot. Over his last five appearances, Hield has seen 12.6 minutes per contest with 5.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers per game.

Hield (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 119-116 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Though Golden State ran with the same starting five for the third game in a row, head coach Steve Kerr continued to tinker with the back end of his rotation. For the first time all season, Hield found himself as the odd man out, even on a night Golden State used 12 players. Kerr elected to reopen a spot in the rotation Will Richard, who hadn't appeared in any of the past three games but responded with a 20-point, five-rebound effort off the bench. Richard's performance could earn him more opportunities on the second unit at the expense of Hield, who had seen his playing time drop in each ensuing game since he made a 26-minute start Dec. 6 in Cleveland.

Hield will come off the bench Sunday against Portland, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Golden State's lineups continue to be fluid, and this time it's Hield and Pat Spencer who will move to the second unit. Hield is coming off a pair of duds with an average of 7.5 points over his last two outings.

Hield will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors will shake things up with several lineup changes Saturday. With so much offensive firepower on the sidelines with injuries, Hield will have a big opportunity to get up plenty of shots Saturday.
