Buddy Hield is a shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors, wearing number 24 and serving primarily as a bench perimeter option. Born in the Bahamas on December 17, 1992, Hield stands 6'4" and weighs 220 pounds. He played college basketball at Oklahoma before entering the NBA, where he built a reputation as one of the league's more prolific three-point shooters over the course of his career.
This season, Hield is averaging 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists across 55 games, with 16.4 minutes per game in a reduced role. His shooting numbers are notably down from career norms, posting a 37.8 field goal percentage and a 26.9 three-point percentage, both below the efficient marks that defined his earlier years. His free throw percentage sits at 26.1 percent, and his plus-minus of -1.8 reflects the modest impact of a rotational contributor. Within Golden State's offensive system, Hield functions as a floor spacer off the bench, though his current shooting efficiency limits that value. For bettors, Hield is most relevant in points and threes-made prop markets. Given his low minute totals and inconsistent shooting this season, unders on his points props and threes-attempted lines may carry more value than overs, particularly in games where his role could shrink further against stronger defensive matchups.
