Buddy Hield can't find his stroke from deep, still drops 25 against Mavs

Buddy Hield tied for second-best last night with his 25 points. He was pretty inefficient Wednesday night, shooting 10-of-23 from the field and 3-of-11 from deep. He managed to grab three boards and dish two assists over his 37 minutes.

Fantasy Impact:

Hield is averaging a whopping 9.8 three-point attempts per game, putting him at second in the league behind James Harden. While his 38.6% from deep is respectable, it ranks him at 73rd in the league. Coach Luke Walton has voiced his frustrations with Hield's shot selections and he has benched Hield a few times already this season. Hield still holds the lead on the Kings for points per game, but De'Aaron Fox is close behind. With Marvin Bagley finally healthy again, Walton might start to limit Hield's minutes a bit. Obviously you aren't dropping Hield, but it's something to keep an eye on.
