Buddy Hield bounces back with 22 points against KingsFebruary 22, 2025 | 06:52 AM

Buddy Hield found his rhythm in Friday's win over Sacramento, finishing with 22 points (8-of-11 FG, 5-of-8 3PT, 1-of-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 26 minutes. Writer's Analysis: After struggling in Golden State's final two games before the All-Star break, Hield bounced back with his highest scoring output since December 8. While he has openly expressed his desire to start, Steve Kerr confirmed that Brandin Podziemski will remain in the starting five. That shift limits Hield's fantasy ceiling, but he remains a viable option in category leagues as a three-point specialist.
