Buddy Hield

Buddy Hield scored 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3PT) to go along with five rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Warriors 134-117 win over the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Hield led the second unit for Golden State. It was a season-high in scoring and his first time eclipsing the 20 point mark on the year.

Buddy Hield is listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

Hield should be good to go. His fantasy upside remains limited when the Warriors are at full strength.

Buddy Hield (illness) will be available to play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat.

Fantasy Impact

Golden State is dealing with a number of injured players for Wednesday's game, but Hield is not one of them. He has been fully cleared to play against Miami, despite initially being uncertain due to an illness. He should see a lot more work than usual with Stephen Curry (ankle), Jimmy Butler (back), and multiple other starters set to be sidelined due to injuries.

Buddy Hield is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Heat as he continues to deal with an illness. He was able to suit up for Tuesday's game despite the ailment, logging 15 minutes and finishing with two points on 1-of-3 shooting.

Fantasy Impact

If Hield is cleared to play, he could step into a major role given the state of the Warriors' roster. Stephen Curry (ankle) and Jonathan Kuminga (knees) have already been ruled out, while Jimmy Butler (back) and Draymond Green (illness) are also questionable. This depletion of the rotation leaves a significant number of touches available for whoever is active.

Buddy Hield will play Tuesday after being listed with an illness.

Fantasy Impact

Hield has been a low-usage reserve this season, so his return mainly restores Golden State’s normal guard depth without shifting fantasy value in most formats.
