Hield dropped 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 106-96 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
With Stephen Curry managing just three points all night, Hield was tasked with picking up the slack to keep the Warriors in this game. The veteran sharpshooter put together a valiant effort, with his six triples qualifying as his second-highest mark of the season. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, Hield failed to contribute much in other areas of the stat sheet. Although he's shooting a solid 38.2 percent from beyond the arc since the All-Star break, he's averaging just 9.9 points per game in that same span, making him an unreliable fantasy option.

Hield ended Sunday's 148-106 win over the Spurs with 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 25 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Hield was one of several Warriors who stood out in this huge win over the Spurs, and he was particularly efficient with his shooting across the board. Hield has scored in double digits in four of his last six outings coming off the bench, but his upside will be limited as long as he remains in a second-unit role. He might be worth targeting as a streaming flier in some formats, but it's risky to start him on a regular basis.

Hield racked up eight points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Thursday's 117-114 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
With Stephen Curry dealing with a pelvis injury that will force him to miss the beginning of Golden State's road trip, Hield could have more opportunities coming his way. He's been trending up in recent weeks, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 20.3 minutes per contest.

Hield racked up three points (1-7 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 victory over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Hield was a non-factor in the win, an all too familiar trend this season. After a solid start to his career in Golden State, Hield has been unable to deliver consistent production. In fact, he has now scored double-digits only six times in the past 14 games. Through 67 games played, he is averaging 11.4 points per game, his lowest mark since his rookie season back in 2016-17.

Hield finished with 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 130-120 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
This was the 10th game of the season with at least 20 points from Hield. However, his production has been all over the place, making him a volatile fantasy option. Over his last 10 games, Hield has averaged 11.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers.

Hield posted 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Monday's 119-101 win over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Hield put on a show Monday coming off the bench, leading all Golden State players in scoring and threes made while finishing just north of 20 points from the second unit. Hield has connected on five or more threes in 10 contests, and he did so Monday for the sixth time when coming off the bench. He has now tallied 20 or more points on nine occasions.

Hield contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 128-92 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Hield played only 20 minutes in the decisive win, but the sharpshooting guard delivered from deep with four three-pointers in the contest. The Warriors emptied the bench once the game was well in hand, and options further down the depth chart were a major reason for Hield's decreased usage.

Hield chipped in 22 points (8-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 132-108 victory over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Hield is hard to stop when his perimeter shot is dialed in, and the Warriors were happy to ride his hot hand on the way to a decisive victory. The sharpshooter logged 12 starting appearances before being replaced by Brandin Podziemski in the first unit earlier in the week. While he scored only two points in his first game after the demotion, he came alive and delivered on a night when many other role players stepped forward.

Hield finished second behind Tyler Herro in the Starry 3-Point Contest after scoring 23 points in the final round.
EDGE Analysis
Hield set the tone in the first round with 31 points, which tied Warriors teammate Stephen Curry's record from the 2021 competition. However, Hield missed his first seven shot attempts in the final round and couldn't overcome his slow start, ultimately losing by a single point and falling short of capturing his second 3-Point Contest victory. Hield is shooting 36.3 percent from three on 7.0 3PA/G this season, though that number has dropped to 31.8 percent since the beginning of January.

Hield will come off the bench Thursday night against Houston, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors are electing to shake up the starting five following a tough loss Wednesday against Dallas. Hield will come off the bench for the first time since Jan. 20, making room for Brandin Podziemski to draw the start at shooting guard.
