Shead logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being stuck in a reserve role, Shead has dished out at least four dimes in seven of his last eight games. The second-year guard's upside remains capped by a healthy Immanuel Quickley, with Shead averaging 5.1 points, 4.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.4 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Shead won't start against Portland on Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With RJ Barrett (ankle) back in the lineup, Shead will slide to the second unit. Over 39 appearances off the bench this season, the second-year guard has averaged 6.4 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 20.2 minutes per contest.

Shead produced 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-109 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

RJ Barrett (ankle) and Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) remain sidelined for Toronto, which is allowing Shead to handle a starting role in the backcourt alongside Immanuel Quickley. Shead has averaged 12.9 points, 7.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.9 minutes per tilt across seven games as a starter this season, so he should hold onto streaming appeal until either Barrett or Walter is back in the fold.

Shead is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Warriors on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday marks Shead's fifth start in six games as he'll join Immanuel Quickley in the backcourt while the Raptors opt to start Scottie Barnes at center due to the absences of Jakob Poeltl (back) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb). Since Jan. 3, Shead has averaged 9.1 points, 6.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 threes and 0.9 steals over 26.8 minutes per game.

Shead is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Lakers on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shead will retreat to the bench Sunday due to Immanuel Quickley (back) being cleared to return from a two-game absence. Shead has started in each of the Raptors' last four games, and over that span he averaged 11.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 35.0 minutes per game, though he connected on just 35.0 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Shead ended with 15 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Shead made his fourth straight start and delivered the most eye-catching line to date, logging his first double-double of the season. While the 23-year-old's scoring efficiency can fluctuate, his passing has stood out, as the guard is averaging 7.8 assists during this four-game starting run and 6.8 across eight January appearances. His playing time figures to scale back once Immanuel Quickley (back) returns, but Shead has shown he can effectively run the offense and facilitate when given the opportunity.

Shead logged 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Shead made his second start of the season Sunday due to the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb) and RJ Barrett (ankle). Shead made the most of his opportunity, finishing second on the Raptors in points and assists behind Scottie Barnes (31 points and seven assists). The Raptors and 76ers face each other Monday in a rematch, and Shead would likely remain in the starting five if Ingram and Barrett are unable to play.

Shead will start Sunday versus the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Brandon Ingram (thumb) unavailable, Shead will draw the start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles. In Shead's previous start this season, he finished with 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one turnover in 34 minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in fantasy leagues.

Shead accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Shead wasn't able to find his rhythm offensively, but he continues to excel as a playmaker. Over his last seven games, he's shooting 37.5 percent from the field with averages of 7.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.1 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes.

Shead produced 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 107-106 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

In a game when Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley combined to score 34 points while going 14-for-46 from the field (30.4 percent), it was Shead who came to the rescue for the Raptors with a team-high 19 points off the bench, 12 of which came in the first half. It was a season high in points for Shead and just the third time he's scored in double digits. Since Dec. 2, he has averaged 8.3 points, 5.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 threes and 1.1 steals over 23.8 minutes per game.
