Does little in spot start
Shead closed Friday's 112-95 loss to New York with five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two assists in 27 minutes.
Analysis
Shead drew the start for Friday's game due to the absence of Immanuel Quickley (foot/rest), though the former wasn't able to take advantage of his expanded role. Quickley is expected to be back in action for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets, which would result in Shead retreating to a bench role.

Starting Friday
Shead is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Knicks on Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Immanuel Quickley (foot) is not available for Friday's contest, so Shead will make his 12th start of the season and the fifth in 11 games since March 23. Shead's last start took place April 1 against the Kings, when he played 37 minutes and finished with 16 points, seven assists, one rebound, two steals and one block in a 123-115 loss.
