Coming off bench Tuesday Sheppard is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Scores 15 points with five stocks Sheppard provided 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-109 victory over Memphis.

Impact This was a nice bounce-back performance from Sheppard, who was held to just 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting his last time out. Since being re-inserted into the first unit, the sophomore guard has come through with averages of 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 3.4 triples, 2.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest, which has him flirting with top-15 value in 9-cat leagues.

In four appearances over the past week, Sheppard has been a top 30 player, averaging 14.8 points, 6.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per game.
