Availability
Shead finished with 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting, six assists, five rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's victory over Sacramento. He went 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.
Fantasy Impact
The performance extended a recent run for Shead, who's now scored in double figures in three of his last four games with at least six assists in each of those outings. His increased production has come with RJ Barrett sidelined due to an ankle injury. Immanuel Quickley led Toronto's guards Wednesday with 18 points, six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Jamal Shead started again for the Raptors on Wednesday night, scoring seven points and handing out six assists in a win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Shead has started each of the last three games for Toronto and is averaging 10.7 points and 6.0 assists in those three starts. R.J. Barrett has missed the last three games with a sprained ankle, so Shead will head back to a bench role once Barrett returns to action. Toronto hosts the Clippers on Friday.
Jamal Shead scored eight points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3PT, 1-2 FT) and dished out 11 assists in Thursday's 111-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
Shead was an effective contributor off of the bench on Thursday, scoring eight points and dishing out 11 assists in a win over the Bucks. He doesn't see enough work to be a relevant fantasy option on a regular basis, however.
With Immanuel Quickley (illness) sidelined, Jamal Shead drew his first start of the season on Tuesday and delivered a season-high 18 points against the Knicks. The guard shot 6-of-15 from the field and connected on four three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
Shead rounded out his line with seven assists, three rebounds, and a steal. Although he showcased his potential in an expanded role, he is expected to return to the bench when the Raptors resume play on Monday, provided Quickley is cleared to return.
Jamal Shead is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
Shead played 22 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. He should remain in a similar role off the bench if he is cleared.
