Sun Mar 1018:53Cameron Payne Replaces Buddy Hield As Starter On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.

Fri Feb 918:24Buddy Hield Starting Versus The Hawks
According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, guard Buddy Hield will start on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The 31-year-old was traded ahead of the deadline on Thursday after spending time in Indiana over the last few seasons. He's been a sporadic fantasy producer this season, currently averaging 12.0 points, the second-lowest mark of his career. However, Hield should get routine playing time in Philly, and his start on Friday night is already a good sign regarding his fantasy potential. With Tyrese Maxey (illness) out of the lineup, Hield is a must-start in all fantasy leagues. He's also worth considering for DFS lineups.

Fri Feb 915:05No 76ers Debut For Buddy Hield Friday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Buddy Hield (recently traded) will not make his team debut in Friday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. Hield's Sixers debut following Thursday's trade with the Indiana Pacers will have to wait until Saturday at the earliest, when Philly travels to D.C. to face the Washington Wizards. Tyrese Maxey (illness) is a late addition to the injury report, so the backcourt could be extremely undermanned on Friday. Kelly Oubre Jr. is the best bet for fantasy purposes against a Hawks team that's allowing the most points per game (124.0) in the NBA this season. Since Jan. 27, Oubre is averaging 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 three-pointers, and 0.9 blocks in 32.4 minutes over his last seven games.

Thu Feb 814:22Buddy Hield Headed To Philadelphia
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. In return, the Pacers receive Furkan Korkmaz, Marcus Morris Sr., and three second-round picks. Overall, the 76ers dealt two expiring contracts with some added filler to get themselves a bona-fide shooter who was falling out of the Pacers' rotation. Hield should instantly see a bump in fantasy value, as he'll become a key piece in the Sixers' rotation as someone who can score and play off the ball along with Tyrese Maxey. So far this year, Hield has averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.6 made threes, and 1.2 turnovers per game while shooting 44.3% from the floor and 38.4% from deep.

Tue Feb 620:00Buddy Hield Reportedly On Philadelphia's Radar
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, the 76ers have shown interest in Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield. The 31-year-old makes $18.5 million and is in the final year of his contract. At the same time, Philadelphia has several expiring contracts, making a deal between both teams possible heading toward the trade deadline. Hield has averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes per game, some of the lowest marks of his career. Although he'll likely have more than a few productive fantasy showings if he remains in Indiana, his ceiling will increase significantly from a move to Philly, a team that could be without Joel Embiid for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.

Tue Sep 26 202322:32Pacers Want To Keep Buddy Hield
Indiana Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan says the organization is in no hurry to trade away guard/forward Buddy Hield, stating their "intention is to have Buddy on the team this year." It coincides with a previous report from The Athletic, saying that no trade is close at this time despite Hield being open to one after contract-extension talks with Indiana halted recently. The 30-year-old appears prepared to participate in Pacers training camp next Tuesday, even if an extension to his expiring deal isn't reached by then. The sharpshooting Hield could theoretically handle less usage if he ends up being swapped to a contender, but he remains a safe pick in the middle rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts on outstanding three-point shooting alone.

Sun Sep 24 202321:52Buddy Hield To Dallas?
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Mavericks are interested in acquiring Pacers guard Buddy Hield. The sharpshooter will be an unrestricted free agent next summer, so he requested a trade after not receiving an extension offer to his liking. Of course, multiple teams have emerged in the latest rumblings surrounding Hield. However, Dallas might be in the best position to make a swap with the Pacers, at least in terms of matching salaries, considering the Mavs can exchange Tim Hardaway Jr. Still, as for now, it doesn't appear as if discussions between Dallas and Indiana have progressed, with Stein indicating that Indiana may not want Hardaway in return. With training camp is right around the corner, a deal could happen soon. Yet, until fantasy managers know where Hield is heading, it is tough to determine how things will look from a production standpoint.

Fri Sep 22 202314:47Mavericks, 76ers, Bucks Have Shown Interest In Buddy Hield
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield is on the trade block after contract negotiations reached a stalemate. The veteran sharpshooter couldn't agree to an extension, so he's now working with the team to find a trade partner. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Mavericks, 76ers, and Bucks have all shown interest in making a deal. Hield is coming off of one of the best years in his career in terms of three-point shooting percentage after he shot 42.5% on 8.5 attempts per game. He also averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest.

Wed Sep 20 202319:37Pacers Attempting To Trade Buddy Hield
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield could be on the move soon after extension talks between the two sides stalled out. The organization has reportedly started dialogue to work on finding a potential trade for the veteran guard. The Pacers shouldn't have too many issues finding a new home for Hield. The 30-year-old has a good track record and has been one of the better shooters from deep over the last few seasons. Last season, Hield averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over 80 games with the Pacers. Those numbers were good enough to be a top-50 player in nine-category formats last season. The assumption is that Hield will be productive wherever he goes, but possibly not as good as he was last season.

Tue Apr 11 202323:03Buddy Hield Not A Lock To Return To Indiana
Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard declined to comment if Buddy Hield would remain with the organization moving ahead. The 30-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. He also shot 42.5% from deep. Indiana is in rebuilding mode, so parting ways with Hield, who has one year left on his contract before hitting the open market, could be on the horizon. However, Hield will draw plenty of interest from teams around the NBA and is expected to remain a productive fantasy option regardless of where he is next season. His durability over the years is another feather in his cap.

Thu Mar 30 202321:50Buddy Hield Removed From Injury Report
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran guard has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. Hield is expected to return on Friday and play a bigger role in the rotation. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton might be done for the season. If that's true, Hield is going to see a significant boost in fantasy value for the rest of the season.

Mon Mar 27 202315:33Buddy Hield Listed As Out For Monday
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a shame considering Hield has played in every game this season until this point. Luckily, this shouldn't be a long absence considering he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence should mean Jordan Nwora and T.J. McConnell will see increased roles. Nwora is looking like a great streaming option after a 33-point performance on Saturday.

Thu Mar 16 202314:41Buddy Hield Questionable On Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's meeting with Milwaukee. He will need to shake off left foot soreness to avoid missing his first game of the season. Hield struggled badly in the last game Monday against Detroit and logged only 22 minutes. Jordan Nwora put in a very good performance off the bench Monday and could now get a further opportunity to impress if Hield can't play Thursday. Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard should also get all the minutes they can handle.

Mon Mar 13 202318:43Buddy Hield Available On Monday
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is good news after Hield popped up on the injury report earlier in the day. Luckily, Hield looked good in pre-game warmups and will suit up for this game. The Pacers are going to need him with Tyrese Haliburton (knee), T.J. McConnell (back), and Myles Turner (back) all on the sideline. The expectation is that Hield is going to be the focal point on offense for this game. Fantasy managers should make sure Hield is in their lineups for Monday.

Thu Jan 12 202312:45Buddy Hield Scores Season-High In Losing Effort
Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield led the team in scoring during a six-point loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. The 30-year-old registered 31 points, eight rebounds, and one steal on 11-for-20 shooting from the floor and 7-for-15 from deep. Hield has been a consistent source of scoring and three-point shooting throughout the season.

Wed Dec 28 202212:46Buddy Hield Knocks Down Six Treys Against Hawks
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield caught fire and never looked back in the team's 129-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. The Oklahoma product poured in six out of his seven three-point attempts and shot 11-for-16 overall. He ended the game with 28 points, nine rebounds, and two assists as well. Hield is a very good asset to have in leagues of 12 teams or more. The only time his fantasy value might take a hit is if he gets traded to a playoff team that might have some more high-usage players alongside of him.

Sat Dec 10 202207:38Buddy Hield Does It All For Pacers In Friday's Win
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield produced a very good all-around performance in Friday's win over Washington, scoring a season-high 28 points on 12-for-19 shooting and collecting two rebounds and four assists with three steals and one block. He had only one turnover in 35 minutes on the floor and shot 4-for-10 from downtown. Hield has always been known as a deadly shooter, but there's much more to his game, as Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle noted on Friday, saying that he thinks Hield is an underrated player. The 29-year-old sharpshooter has now nailed 11 triples across his last two games, producing 54 points in total, and he's had strong averages in other categories as well this month with 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals.

Wed Dec 7 202223:31Buddy Hield Scores 26 Points In Loss
Indiana Pacers forward Buddy Hield tied Tyrese Haliburton for a team-high 26 points in Wednesday's loss to Minnesota. Hield shot an effective 7-for-11 from deep in this one. While he contributed little in other statistical areas, it was a fine showing overall. Although the 29-year-old isn't playing the best basketball of his career, he's still been a reliable fantasy asset, averaging 16.9 points this season. His name continues to be mentioned in trade rumblings, so a change of scenery could do him some good. However, if Hield doesn't get moved, he should continue to get plenty of minutes and chances on the offensive end in Indiana.

Tue Jul 26 202210:21Lakers Discussing Trade For Buddy Hield, Talen Horton-Tucker
The Los Angeles Lakers have been expressing interest in Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield since the offseason began. Now, we have a report from Marc Stein that suggests the type of package the Lakers would be offering to the Pacers in exchange for Hield. Stein states that Talen Horton-Tucker would be included in the deal along with some draft capital. There's also a chance that the Lakers would be asking the Pacers to buy out Russell Westbrook in such a deal, though the likelihood of that happening seems extremely low.

Thu Jul 21 202210:14Lakers Inquiring On Buddy Hield Again
The Los Angeles Lakers were reportedly inquiring about Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield earlier this offseason. Talks between the two teams had slowed down, but according to NBA reporter Dave McMenamin, the two parties have re-engaged in discussions lately. Hield is currently on contract for the next two seasons and he's due nearly $40 million over the two-year stretch. He split the 2021-22 season between the Pacers and Sacramento Kings and averaged 15.6 points per game while shooting 36.6% from three-point range. He'd be a logical replacement for Malik Monk, who signed with the Kings this offseason.
