Sheppard posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

With Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) expected to be out a while, Sheppard could be more involved on the wings in Indiana, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats. Over his last three outings, he's shooting 52.6 percent from the field for averages of 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes per contest.

Sheppard (calf) registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 112-110 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Sheppard had started in six of his prior eight appearances before missing time due to a calf strain, but the third-year wing was deployed off the bench Wednesday in his return from an 11-game absence. He provided the Pacers with some quality scoring on the second unit, but his stat line was otherwise lacking in supplementary production. With Indiana now as healthy as it's been all season on the wing and at point guard, Sheppard may not have the opportunity to see his minutes pick up even once he's fully ramped back up from the calf injury.

Sheppard has averaged 5.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.3 minutes per tilt across 11 games off the bench this season.
