Coming off bench Sunday Sheppard is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Sheppard has started in each of the Pacers' last three games and averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over 22.0 minutes per game over that span. He will revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest due to the returns of Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam.

Passive performance Friday Sheppard finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Sheppard continues to be largely underwhelming, despite the fact that his role appears relatively secure, something that can't be said for many of his teammates. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 7.5 points and .5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest. Although there is a chance he suits up on most nights moving forward, his overall ceiling is too low to warrant significant fantasy attention.

Passive again Saturday Sheppard recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Sheppard continues to do very little with his time on the floor, scoring single digits for the 15th straight game.

During that span, he has averaged just 5.5 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 17.1 minutes per game.

Rotates to bench Sheppard isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Sheppard drew a rare start Saturday while the Pacers rested several key contributors, but he'll shift back to his usual bench role Monday night. The Belmont product is averaging 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his last five games as a reserve.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Joining starting five Sheppard will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Sheppard will run with the first unit Saturday as the Pacers have elected to rest a good majority of the usual starters. His last start dates back to Dec. 3 against the Nuggets, when he ended with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 18 minutes.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Rough season continues Sheppard accumulated five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Monday's 98-96 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Sheppard continues to do very little with his time on the floor, having now scored single digits in six of his past seven games. During that time, he has averaged just 7.0 points per game, adding 1.6 three-pointers and 1.3 assists, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard leagues. At this stage, he holds no value outside of deeper formats.

Scores eight points in loss Sheppard posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Magic.

Impact With Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) is expected to be out a while, Sheppard could be more involved on the wings in Indiana, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats. Over his last three outings, he's shooting 52.6 percent from the field for averages of 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes per contest.

Puts up 12 points in return Sheppard (calf) registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 112-110 loss to the Magic.

Impact Sheppard had started in six of his prior eight appearances before missing time due to a calf strain, but the third-year wing was deployed off the bench Wednesday in his return from an 11-game absence. He provided the Pacers with some quality scoring on the second unit, but his stat line was otherwise lacking in supplementary production. With Indiana now as healthy as its been all season on the wing and at point guard, Sheppard may not have the opportunity to see his minutes pick up even once he's fully ramped back up from the calf injury.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Magic Sheppard (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact Sheppard was last seen during the Dec. 3 loss to the Nuggets, but he's recovered from a left calf strain and is ready for game action. With the Pacers a bit healthier now than they were the last time Sheppard was available, the guard is ticketed for a reserve role Wednesday. Sheppard has averaged 5.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.3 minutes per tilt across 11 games off the bench this season.

Impact Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3., but he's currently listed as day-to-day. If he's able to give it a go Wednesday, the Pacers will likely monitor his minutes closely.
