Buddy Hield pitches in everywhere for Kings on Wednesday night
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield scored 6 points on 2-of-8 field goals (1-of-4 3-pointers) and 1-of-2 free throws with 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 1 turnover in 20.6 minutes of Wednesday's 126-80 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
It was an absolute beatdown, so there aren't any major takeaways other than Hield staying active all over the box score, even on a rough shooting night. Across 14 games this season, last year's lottery pick is averaging 11.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 3-pointers, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 turnovers per game. The Kings face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
numberFire's models projected Hield to score 21.5 FanDuel points (FP) on Wednesday, and he finished with 19.4 FP. On the season, Hield is averaging 22.8 FP per game.
