Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Hits for 19 points in win
Sheppard racked up 19 points (7-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over Memphis.
With Houston's starters taking a seat during the regular-season finale, Sheppard stepped into the first unit. It's a familiar path for Sheppard, who started 21 times this season and is often the preferred candidate at the point guard position. The team could go with Sheppard or Josh Okogie as they begin the first-round series with the Lakers, but Sheppard should log significant minutes in either event.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Starting vs. Memphis
Sheppard will start Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
With Houston resting four of its regular starters, Sheppard will enter the first unit in the Rockets' regular-season finale. As a starter this season (20 games), the second-year guard has averaged 15.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 steals across 30.4 minutes per tilt.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Won't start Thursday
Sheppard won't start Thursday's game against the 76ers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Sheppard has started 10 of the last 11 games but will slide to the second unit Thursday in favor of Josh Okogie. Sheppard has averaged 13.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Drains four threes in win
Sheppard recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 140-106 win over the Jazz.
Sheppard was one of six Houston players to score in double digits, and the sharpshooting guard continues to be an absolute menace from three-point range. This was his 10th straight game with multiple three-pointers and his third consecutive contest with at least four. Even though Sheppard isn't expected to carry the Rockets offensively any time soon, his efficiency from deep, regular starting role and overall scoring prowess make him a solid fantasy contributor across the board. He's particularly serviceable in category-based leagues that include three-point categories.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Scores 27 points in win
Sheppard finished with 27 points (9-15 FG, 9-14 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 victory over the Bucks.
Sheppard got the start Wednesday after coming off the bench against the Knicks on Tuesday during the first leg of a back-to-back set. Tari Eason moved to the bench to make room for Sheppard, who carried the Rockets offensively alongside Alperen Sengun. This 27-point output was Sheppard's second straight game with at least 20 points, and he's hit this line in three of the Rockets' last seven contests. Since the All-Star break, Sheppard has been alternating between the first unit and the bench, averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Will start Wednesday
Sheppard will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Tari Eason got the starting nod in Tuesday's win over the Knicks in a matchup-based decision, but Sheppard will return to the starting lineup against Milwaukee. As a starter this season (16 games), the second-year guard has averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Strong performance off bench
Sheppard ended with 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 win over the Knicks.
Sheppard moved back to the bench, although he still managed to maintain his recent momentum. While his demotion was seemingly a step in the wrong direction, head coach Ime Udoka spoke prior to the game, indicating this was merely a temporary move, with Sheppard likely back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. Continue to roster him with confidence.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Coming off bench Tuesday
Sheppard is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Tari Eason is instead getting the starting nod against the Knicks for matchup-related reasons. Sheppard's minutes should remain mostly unaffected by the move to the bench, as he's averaging 12.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest across his last six games as a reserve.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Scores 15 points with five stocks
Sheppard provided 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-109 victory over Memphis.
This was a nice bounce-back performance from Sheppard, who was held to just 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting his last time out. Since being reinserted into the first unit, the sophomore guard has come through with averages of 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 3.4 triples, 2.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest, which has him flirting with top-15 value in nine-category leagues.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Poor shooting in loss
Sheppard recorded 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Sheppard has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option for the Rockets lately. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 3.3 three-pointers, but he's shooting just 40.4 percent from the field in that span.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Career-high 14 assists
Sheppard closed with 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 14 assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-122 victory over the Heat.
Sheppard delivered a stellar performance on both ends of the floor, including a career-high 14 assists. Now seemingly a member of the starting lineup, the hope is that with less pressure on him to prove himself, his talent will rise to the surface. In four appearances over the past week, Sheppard has been a top 30 player, averaging 14.8 points, 6.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per game.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Starting Friday
Sheppard will start Friday's game against the Hawks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
The second-year guard will get the starting nod in favor of Tari Eason on Friday. As a starter this season (10 games), Sheppard has averaged 16.1 points, 5.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.1 minutes per tilt.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Puts up 18 points
Sheppard finished Friday's 107-105 win over New Orleans with 18 points (6-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
Sheppard filled the stat sheet and was locked in from three-point range -- the five threes he made were the second-highest mark of the month in that regard. Sheppard has been productive off the bench for a contending Rockets team, and he's scored in double digits in all but two of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break. He's averaging 16.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that span.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Poor shooting continues
Sheppard finished Wednesday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets with nine points (4-12 FG, 1-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes.
Sheppard shot no better than 40 percent from the field for the sixth time in his past seven games, logging fewer than 28 minutes for the second straight game. It continues what has been an inconsistent season, with Sheppard's playing time fluctuating on a nightly basis. While he does remain a solid standard league asset, managers would love for him to be a regular 30-minute-per-night player.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Headed to bench
Sheppard will come off the bench for Sunday's game in San Antonio, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jabari Smith (ankle) is back and starting, so Sheppard will shift back to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Reed owns averages of 13.0 points, 2.9 assists, 2.6 triples and 1.3 steals per contest.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Thrives in starting role Friday
Sheppard notched 17 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 106-99 victory over Portland.
With Jabari Smith (ankle) sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back, Sheppard moved back into the starting lineup and continued his recent tear. While his efficiency from the floor was modest, he provided elite defensive stats and solid playmaking as a starter. The second-year guard has been playing at an incredibly high level lately, averaging 21.3 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 triples over his last six outings. While his role often fluctuates based on Smith's availability, Sheppard has logged 35-plus minutes in each of his last four games and appears to have turned a corner in his development.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Starting sans Smith
Sheppard will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
With Jabari Smith (ankle) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Sheppard will enter the starting five. As a starter this season (nine games), the second-year guard has averaged 16.0 points, 4.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks in 31.7 minutes per game.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Strong shooting night off bench
Sheppard posted 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt), six assists and three rebounds over 37 minutes during the Rockets' 115-113 overtime loss to the Warriors on Thursday.
Sheppard led the Rockets off the bench with a game-high 30 points -- 19 of which came in the second half and overtime -- and it was his highest scoring output since Nov. 26 against Golden State (31 points). The second-year pro came off the bench Thursday after starting in three of the Rockets' last four games, but he should continue to serve in a prominent role in the rotation given his strong play as of late. Sheppard has averaged 22.2 points, 5.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 5.2 threes, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 35.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Coming off bench Thursday
Sheppard is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Warriors on Thursday, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Sheppard has started in each of the Rockets' last two games and is coming off a dominant double-double performance against the Wizards on Monday, when he also logged six steals. He'll revert to a bench role for Thursday's contest due to the return of Jabari Smith (ankle).
