Standout performance in loss
Sheppard supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 99-97 loss to the Nets.
Analysis
With Fred VanVleet (ankle) out again, Sheppard produced easily the best performance of his young career, putting up career-high numbers across the board. With the Rockets down on troops, Sheppard outplayed Aaron Holiday, flashing the upside many thought he had coming into the season. While this was an encouraging performance, Tari Eason could return for the next game after sitting out Tuesday on the second night of a back-to-back. When the Rockets are healthy, Sheppard is unlikely to be anything more than a depth piece.

Plays 16 minutes Saturday
Sheppard registered six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 16 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to Brooklyn.
Analysis
Sheppard had been a healthy DNP over the Rockets' prior six games, but his appearance Saturday was needed after Fred VanVleet suffered a right ankle injury in the second quarter. Sheppard was able to connect on two three-pointers (which was his most in an NBA regular-season game since Nov. 23), but he did struggle to hold his own at the defensive end at times. Sheppard could see some meaningful minutes off the bench if VanVleet's injury were to cause him to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
