ANALYSIS
Sheppard scored in double digits for the fifth straight game, continuing to flirt with standard-league value. While Houston continues to deal with its share of injuries, Sheppard has been unable to step into a starter-level role. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in just 21.2 minutes per contest.
