Sheppard amassed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Friday's 140-112 win over the Jazz.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Pulls down eight boards
Sheppard had zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 overtime victory over Brooklyn.
Tyrese Haliburton missed his third straight contest with a back injury, but Sheppard wasn't able to generate any offense despite some impressive peripheral stats. Over his last three appearances, Sheppard has averaged 2.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Scores 12 points
Sheppard contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to the Bulls.
Bennedict Mathurin moved into the starting lineup Monday, while Tyrese Haliburton missed his third straight game with a hip injury. Despite moving back to the bench, Sheppard was one of the few bright spots for Indiana in this blowout loss. His fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats, however, as he's averaging 6.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 19.6 minutes over his last 10 games.

Sheppard is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
The Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton (hip) once again, and head coach Rick Carlisle has decided to tweak the lineup. Sheppard will start in the backcourt next to Andrew Nembhard, while Jarace Walker, who started the previous game, will run with the second unit. This will be Sheppard's ninth start of the season -- and first since Jan. 29. He's averaging 5.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game in the previous eight.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Sinks three triples off bench
Sheppard closed Sunday's 127-112 win over Chicago with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes.
Sheppard remains restricted to a reserve role in Indiana's rotation, having failed to reach double figures in scoring in seven consecutive games. Across his last seven contests, the 2023 first-rounder has averaged 5.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes. Sheppard's fantasy upside should remain capped while the Pacers are mostly healthy, and he hasn't seen an uptick in value amid Bennedict Mathurin's (wrist) absence.
