Iffy for Tuesday Shead (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Shead is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and could miss Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. If the second-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, A.J. Lawson and Ja'Kobe Walter could see increased playing time. Shead continues to see consistent run for Toronto, averaging 5.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.4 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game over his last five outings. However, he has shot just 27.0 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from downtown during that span.

Logs two steals in loss Shead had nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Shead hasn;t scored in double digits since Nov. 23 and is shooting just 27.5 percent from the field and 17.4 percent from three in that span. However, he remains committed to playmaking and staying engaged on the defensive end, averaging 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals in that span as well. Shead will continue to backup Immanuel Quickley, and will likely remain a steady source of assists and steals for fantasy managers.

Near double-double off bench Shead finished Sunday's 119-109 win over Brooklyn with 11 points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine assists, one rebound and one steal over 24 minutes.

Impact Shead struggled with his limited shots from the field but more than made up for it at the charity stripe with a game-high nine free throws. He also led both teams with nine dimes and finished just one assist shy from registering the second double-double of his career. Shead has played a consistent role off the bench this season, though he and other Raptors reserve players will need to take on increased responsibilities if RJ Barrett were to miss time due to a right knee sprain that he sustained during the third quarter of Sunday's game.
