Keeps scoring Hield logged 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 win over the Celtics.

Impact Hield has averaged a staggering 39.5 minutes per game across six contests since being acquired by Indiana. Although quiet from beyond the arc Sunday, Hield has among the greenest of lights -- attempting 9.3 triples per game over that same stretch. Hield can be a feast-or-famine scorer, but he certainly holds value for his categorical contributions. Additionally, his 4.8 assists per game since joining the Pacers is adding to his floor.

Impact Hield is now averaging 21.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 3.8 triples across 39.8 minutes in five games since debuting with Indiana. His value has vaulted up as a result of his current role wiht the team. He will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup with the Celtics.

Goes off for season-high 36 points Hield compiled a season-high 36 points (14-20 FG, 8-12 3Pt) to go with four assists, two rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 128-119 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Hield caught fire in the loss, drilling eight triples on his way to his biggest scoring haul since January 2020. He hasn't been shy about firing away from distance since arriving in Indiana, assuming a primary role on the offensive end of the floor. He won't be this good in every game of course, but given his role in Indiana, Hield's recent move from Sacramento has undoubtedly been a great development for his fantasy outlook.

Plays 40 minutes Sunday Hield posted 13 points (6-19 FG, 1-13 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 129-120 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact For the second straight game since coming over from Sacramento, Hield crossed the 40-minute threshold -- something he did only four times in 55 appearances this season for the Kings. Chris Duarte (toe) exiting the game in the first quarter certainly helped, but the Pacers appear intent on Hield being a bigger part of the offense, even on nights when he's ice-cold from three-point land. At some point, the Pacers could get Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) back, but until that happens, Hield should continue to see big minutes alongside fellow new addition Tyrese Haliburton. The eventual return of T.J. Warren (foot) could also impact Hield, though Warren hasn't played in an NBA game since December of 2020.

Nears triple-double in debut Hield had 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hield had started just six games for Sacramento to begin the season, but he joined the starting lineup during his debut with the Cavaliers and matched his second-highest minutes total of the season. The 29-year-old came within a rebound of a double-double and flirted with a triple-double with a team-high eight assists. While Hield had a slightly inconsistent role with the Kings, it appears as though he'll have more opportunities to contribute in Cleveland.

Starting in debut Hield will start in Friday's debut for the Pacers against the Cavaliers, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Hield hasn't started a game since Dec. 22, and he'll get the nod in his debut for his new team. It's possible that changes when Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is available, but his persistent injury woes could pave the way for Hield to have increased fantasy value down the stretch. In six starts this season, Hield has averaged 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.3 minutes.

Expected to debut Friday Hield is expected to make his debut for the Pacers on Friday against the Cavaliers, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Hield was traded from Sacramento on Tuesday. The 29-year-old is in the middle of the worst shooting season of his career, shooting just 38.2 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from deep, both career lows. However, Hield may still see a lot of playing time with Malcolm Brogdon still nursing an Achilles injury.

Impact While Haliburton and Sabonis are the two headliners, the Kings were able to rid themselves of Hield's salary, as he's set to make $21.2 million next season and north of $19.2 million in 2023-24. Hield remains one of the NBA's best high-volume three-point threats, but he doesn't offer much else -- both in real life or in fantasy basketball. In 55 appearances for the Kings this season, Hield averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 made three-pointers while shooting a career-worst 36.8 percent from deep. He'll likely fill a similar role in Indiana, especially with both Lamb and Holiday now out of the picture. Hield may even slide into the starting lineup if Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) continues to miss time.
