Reed Sheppard - Will start Wednesday Sheppard will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

Jalen Brunson - Ruled out for Wednesday Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.

Impact As anticipated, the Knicks are opting to give their star point guard a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set against a weak Memphis team while he manages minor right ankle soreness. With Miles McBride (pelvis) also sidelined Wednesday, New York's backcourt rotation will be extremely shorthanded. Look for Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet to absorb the bulk of the available minutes against Memphis.
