Hield closed Wednesday's 121-110 loss to Minnesota in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Hield certainly had some strong moments in the playoffs, but he closed out the final two games shooting a combined 6-of-20 from the field. As for the regular season, it's no secret that he had his struggles in his first campaign with the team. He appeared in all 82 games, posting averages of 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 41.7 percent from the field. The guard is under contract with the team for two more years with a player option for a third.

Hield totaled 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Golden State's lack of firepower without Stephen Curry (hamstring) was evident Monday, as Hield, Brandin Podziemski and Jimmy Butler all combined for 38 points. However, Hield has had some good moments in this series, as he's averaging 16.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.8 three-pointers across four games.

Hield provided 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hield was sharp from beyond the arc, but his scoring contributions weren't enough to prevent the loss as Minnesota recovered its home-court advantage for the time being. Hield should continue to play at a high level for the Warriors and most of his fantasy upside should come from his scoring and three-point shooting. He's scored in double digits while making at least four threes in each of his last four appearances.

Hield recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hield didn't have his best performance Thursday, but he still ended up being one of the best players for Golden State in a game where the entire offense struggled. He should remain one of the team's go-to options on offense, especially as an outside threat, while Stephen Curry (hamstring) remains out.

Hield accumulated 24 points (7-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 99-88 win over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hield finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double, but perhaps more important than that was that he drained a couple of key three-pointers late when the Warriors needed him the most. Hield could embrace a bigger role on offense in case Stephen Curry (hamstring) is unable to play in Game 2 on Thursday. The veteran sharpshooter endured a slow start to the postseason but has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances.

Hield notched 33 points (12-15 FG, 9-11 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 103-89 victory over the Rockets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Hield was incredibly efficient Sunday, missing only three of his 15 field-goal attempts while drilling nine three-pointers. This ties an NBA record in a Game 7, set by Donte DiVincenzo last year with the Knicks. Hield's 33 points crushed his previous playoff-best total (20) set in 2024 while playing for the 76ers.

Hield accumulated 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Rockets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start since Feb. 12, Hield played at least 30 minutes for the first time since March 3 and supplied solid secondary scoring. The veteran wing dropped five threes and 17 points off the bench in a Game 3 win, and he appears to have moved ahead of the struggling Moses Moody in the Warriors' rotation heading into Game 5 on Wednesday.

Hield will start in Monday's Game 4 against the Rockets, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
The sharpshooter will replace Quinten Post in the starting five Monday. Hield is coming off an efficient 17-point performance in Saturday's Game 3 victory, and in three appearances during the first round, he has averaged 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 1.0 assists across 20.0 minutes per contest.

Hield chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 victory over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Hield logged single-digit points in each of his last four games, but he stepped into a larger offensive role in Game 3 due to Jimmy Butler (pelvis) being ruled out. Hield did most of his damage from three-point range and finished as the Warriors' second-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry (36). Golden State will need Hield's efficiency to make a deep playoff run, and the 2016 first-round pick would continue to have a big role off the bench if Butler cannot play in Game 4 on Monday.

Hield racked up 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds and one block over 23 minutes during Friday's 103-86 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Hield connected on 40 percent of his shots beyond the arc in the victory. When Hield's sharpshooting skills are dialed in, he's capable of massive totals, but his success is entirely dependent on his usage. His minutes occasionally dip below 20 minutes, which isn't enough time to get into a groove. The first unit will play max minutes in the playoffs, thus diluting Hield's results.
