Buddy Hield starting for Sacramento in the season opener
Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield is starting in the season opener on Wednesday versus the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
The Kings previously stated Frank Mason would get the start, so this comes at a bit of a surprise, even if it makes the most sense. Hield started just 12 games last season but could reach that total quickly in 2018-19 with Bogdan Bogdanovic out until early-November.
Our models project Hield for 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes for 25.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday.
