Headed to bench
Shead will come off the bench for Friday's game in Memphis.

Strong all-around effort
Shead accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 123-115 loss to Sacramento.
Analysis
Shead got the start Wednesday, his fourth start over the Raptors' last six games, and he was active both as a scorer and playmaker. Considering that Immanuel Quickley is dealing with a foot injury, it wouldn't be shocking if Shead remains in the starting lineup, thus bolstering his fantasy upside. Shead is averaging 12.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Analysis
Shead didn't start in Tuesday's 127-116 loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, Ja'Kobe Walter will head back to the bench Wednesday, allowing Shead to make his fourth start in the last six games. In 10 starts during the campaign, the 23-year-old has averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 0.1 blocks and 1.3 steals while shooting 40.9 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from downtown across 32.1 minutes.
