Reed Sheppard News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Steps up with 17 points Sheppard racked up 17 points (6-20 FG, 5-14 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers in Game 1 of the...

Impact Sheppard assumed a larger role with Kevin Durant (knee) in street clothes. Josh Okogie was effective on defense, but he couldn't fill the production gap left by Durant. Much of that responsibility fell to Sheppard and Jabari Smith, who tried to keep the team afloat against a powerful performance from the Lakers. Sheppard was able to muster 19 points thanks to a high shot volume, but he only converted 30 percent of those attempts. Despite the shooting deficiency, he recorded an excellent fantasy total thanks to eight rebounds, matching his second-highest total of the season in the category.

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.

Impact Sheppard stepped into the first unit with Houston's starters taking a seat. 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.

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.

Impact Sheppard was one of six Houston players who scored in double digits in this game, and the sharpshooting guard continues to be an absolute menace from three-point range. This was his 10th straight game with multiple three-pointers made, and his third consecutive 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, though he's particularly serviceable in category-based leagues that include three-point-based categories.

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.

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.

Impact 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.
