Starting vs. OKC
Sheppard will start against the Thunder on Saturday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Amen Thompson is available to play off the bench but is battling an illness, so Sheppard will step into the starting five for the second time this month. As a starter this season (five games), the second-year guard has averaged 13.4 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.6 minutes per contest.

Slides back to bench
Sheppard isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analyse
Sheppard made a spot start Monday due to the absence of Kevin Durant, but now that Durant is healthy, Sheppard will return to a reserve role. Since the start of January, Sheppard is averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 22.8 minutes per game.

Only 25 minutes despite start
Sheppard chipped in 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 118-114 win over the Pacers.
Analyse
Sheppard chipped in across the board, reminding everyone what he can do when meaningful playing time comes his way. Although he was elevated into the starting lineup, Sheppard was limited to just 25 minutes, a concern for fantasy managers. Given this was basically a best-case scenario, there is cause for concern when Kevin Durant (ankle) returns from injury.

Set to start sans Durant
Sheppard will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pacers, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Analyse
Kevin Durant is tending to an ankle issue Monday, so the Rockets are turning to Sheppard to fill the void in the first unit. It's set to be the fifth start of the campaign for Sheppard, who has averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game as a starter this year.

Limited in win Saturday
Sheppard notched six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 17 minutes during Saturday's 111-107 victory over the Mavericks.
Analyse
Sheppard logged just 17 minutes, continuing what has been a frustrating past month. In 17 appearances during that time, he has averaged just 22.7 minutes per game, providing 11.3 points, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers. While the talent is undeniable, the fact head coach Ime Udoka refuses to afford him starter-level minutes can't be ignored. As of right now, managers should view him as nothing more than a streaming option in standard leagues.
