Hield (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Hield is listed on the injury report with an illness but is likely to play Tuesday. The veteran has settled into a steady bench role this season, averaging 16.8 minutes per contest across 15 appearances, though his 6.9 points per game and 32.1 percent three-point shooting both represent significant career lows.

Hield totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-106 victory over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to the three steals, Hield made three three-pointers, just his third instance of doing so this season. The veteran sharpshooter is averaging 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 threes made on an underwhelming 32.1 percent clip over 16.9 minutes so far.

Hield accumulated eight points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 114-83 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Hield was unable to take advantage of Stephen Curry (illness) missing time, as he logged his fourth game this season without making a three-pointer. Hield is averaging 7.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 threes so far, shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 32.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Hield logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday marked the first time since the second game of the season that Hield finished with double-digit points. During that gap, he was shooting a mere 33.3 percent from the field and playing 14.4 minutes per game. However, with Jimmy Butler (back) missing the second half of Tuesday's win, Hield got some extra minutes and shot attempts.

Hield ended with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 98-79 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Hield is seemingly at the edge of Golden State's rotation to open the season. Through five regular-season contests, Hield is seeing 17.1 minutes per game with 7.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.2 three-pointers on 40.0 percent shooting from the field. His fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats unless his minutes trend up.

Hield logged 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 victory over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Hield connected on a team-high five three-pointers, a welcome sight given the struggles of those around him. It appears as though Hield is going to serve as the team's sixth or seventh man on most nights, with his playing time typically reliant on how well he is shooting the ball.

Hield finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 106-103 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
The three-point specialist delivered from deep during the loss, but his streaky play is well-documented. Hield's volume beyond the arc makes the backup valuable in category leagues, but current projections place him outside the realm of fantasy viability unless an injury boosts his usage.

Hield will not be in the starting lineup during Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hield will presumably come off the bench or not play entirely for rest purposes. If he doesn't play, the next chance for him to return to the floor will be the preseason finale Friday against the Clippers.

Hield closed with six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite moving into the starting lineup, Hield failed to produce anything of note. After a hot start to his career in Golden State, Hield faded badly last season. The Warriors added depth during the offseason, a worrying sign for Hield, who could struggle to play a consistent role for the Warriors. His playing time is typically dependent on whether his perimeter shot is falling, something that can be streaky, at best.

Hield will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's exhibition against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hield will get a chance in the first unit with Stephen Curry (undisclosed), Moses Moody (calf), Jimmy Butler (personal) and Al Horford (rest) all out Sunday. If Moody's injury lingers, Hield would be a candidate for an increased role in the short term.
