Impact Sheppard was moved back to a bench role for Thursday's contest after starting in Tuesday's win over the Kings, when he led the Rockets with 28 points. His removal from the starting lineup didn't impact his play, and he played a key role in the Rockets' comeback victory, with 17 of his 20 points coming in the second half (including 11 points in the third frame to power Houston's 21-0 run). It was Sheppard's eighth 20-plus point game of the season -- two of which have come in as many games -- and he has connected on 49.2 percent of his three-point attempts over his last eight outings while averaging 16.9 points, 3.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 3.8 threes, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks over 27.3 minutes over that span. Jabari Smith suffered a right ankle injury late in the fourth quarter, so Sheppard could take on an expanded role against the Heat on Saturday if the former is unable to play.

However, the second-year pro will revert to a bench role for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back set due to the return of Amen Thompson, the latter of whom will join Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Tari Eason and Jabari Smith in the starting five.

Impact Sheppard was the only bench player to finish the night in double figures, though he struggled to find the bottom of the net from beyond the arc. He looked like he was turning the corner after going 9-for-16 from three in his last two games before the All-Star break, but he was unable to build off his recent success. Despite his shooting woes, Sheppard has seen a slight uptick in playing time lately, averaging 27.8 minutes per game over his last four outings after logging 24.5 minutes per matchup in his first 50 appearances of the campaign.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (knee) sidelined, Sheppard is locking down a big role in the backcourt during the first part of the season. The second-year guard has averaged 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 23.7 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, but he's shooting only 36.5 percent from downtown during this stretch.

Logs 30 minutes Tuesday Sheppard logged 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers.

Impact Sheppard logged at least 30 minutes for the second straight game, with head coach Ime Udoka opting to run with an eight-man rotation. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, managers are right to be skeptical when it comes to Sheppard's playing time. He is worth adding if he was dropped in your league, although do so with caution, given what we have seen in Houston this season.
