Scores 20 points in Game 6 loss Hield amassed 20 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 118-115 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Ea...

Impact Hield went scoreless in two of the first three games of the series and was a DNP-CD in Games 4 and 5, but he provided a lift with his scoring off the bench in Game 6, particularly when the Sixers were in a complicated spot during the second and third quarters. Hield struggled in the series, but this 20-point effort will be a reminder of what he can do when he's given a consistent role on offense, regardless if it's as a starter or off the bench.

New York Knicks advance to Eastern Conference semis with a 118-115 Game 6 win over the 76ers

Fails to score in four minutes Hield ended Thursday's 125-114 victory over New York in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in four minutes.

Impact Hield barely touched the floor in the win, continuing his rapid fall from grace. He is basically an afterthought at this point, despite the fact the 76ers are not loaded with reliable talent. At this point, it appears as though he will need an offseason move to have any chance of being a fantasy asset next season.

Continues to struggle from deep Hield notched seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six assists and one rebound in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game win over the Heat.

Impact Since Philadelphia acquired Hield on Feb. 8, the sharpshooter has averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.5 minutes on 38.4 percent from deep. Hield has struggled to live up to his usual standards in April, as he's averaged 9.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.8 minutes, shooting just 35.2 percent from the field and 34.8 percent from three.

Coming off bench after all Hield isn't starting Sunday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Hield was initially listed among the starters for Sunday's matchup, but he'll retreat to the bench since Nicolas Batum was a late addition to the starting lineup. However, Hield should still be in line for more minutes than usual since Kyle Lowry (rest) is sidelined.

Struggles continue Saturday Hield accumulated seven points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 win over Memphis.

Impact Hield managed just seven points in the win, scoring single digits for the seventh time in the past 10 games. Since arriving in Philadelphia, Hield has been a non-factor when it comes to fantasy. He is outside the top 200 over the past month, averaging just 9.5 points and 1.8 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game. Unless he is moved during the offseason, Hield could find himself undrafted in a lot of leagues next year.

Hield is averaging 12.0 points per game while shooting 40 percent from three-point range since moving to a bench role as a member of the 76ers.
