Buddy Hield

Buddy Hield attempted one triple and had one turnover in five minutes of action in Atlanta's loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Hield made his Hawks' debut on Monday after being traded from Golden State in the Kristaps Porzingis deal last week. He dressed but did not play on Saturday and then, even with Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels out on Monday, Hield was given only five minutes off the bench. It's obvious that Hield is not part of the Hawks' plans at the moment so, if you picked him up hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with his new team, feel free to cut him loose.

Buddy Hield is available to make his debut with the Hawks on Saturday against the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Hield landed with Atlanta in the trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Warriors. He'll add another shooter on the outside for Atlanta.

The Golden State Warriors are trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis.

Fantasy Impact

Hield had been averaging eight points per game on 34 percent shooting from the field this season. His fantasy value is unlikely to change much with Atlanta.

Buddy Hield scored a season-high 25 points (7-8 FG, 6-6 3PT, 5-5 FT) on Tuesday night in the Warriors' 145-127 loss to the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

Hield has now scored in double figures in three consecutive games and his 25 points were his most in a game since scoring 27 points against Minnesota on December 8, 2024. While he didn't do much else on Tuesday (one rebound, two assists, one steal), Hield is averaging 10.7 points in eight January games and will be looked upon to help fill the void left by Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury.

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.
