FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Pelicans' Buddy Hield making first career start Monday night

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Buddy Hield will start on Monday against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Head coach Alvin Gentry likes to tweak his lineup based on matchups, so there's a good chance this is only a temporary move. For those inclined, Hield is only a speculative add in deep leagues.

The sixth overall pick from this year's draft is averaging 10.2 points and 1.3 3-pointers in 21.2 minutes per game this season. His 37.6 percent shooting from the field and 23.6 percent shooting from deep both leave a bit to be desired. His -1.7 nERD is last on the Pelicans, which is a tough feat considering the (lack of) talent on the roster.
