Varun Shankar: Per Udoka: Reed Sheppard is playing tonight for the #Rockets, no minutes restriction. Clint Capela is out after rolling his ankle in the last game.
Will Guillory: Rockets injury report: — Reed Sheppard (low back strain) and Clint Capela (right ankle sprain) are listed as questionable. — Steven Adams (right soleus strain) is out again. It’ll be the 6th straight game he’s missed.
Chris Mannix: I was preaching that Fred VanVleet is going to matter. Forget the numbers. Last couple of years he has not been a high-efficiency guy. He's still not a high-efficiency guy, but he is a steady, reliable guy out there. He's going to give you 30-ish minutes per game and be able to initiate the offense. And him being there, I've heard Kevin Durant talk about this, it allows everybody else to slot back into their usual positions. Amen Thompson doesn't need to be the point guard on this team. Reed Sheppard doesn't need to be the starting point guard on this team. Kevin Durant doesn't need to have the ball in his hands initiating some of the offense. It just allows everybody to be themselves.
Varun Shankar: Rockets announce they picked up 4th year option for guard Reed Sheppard. An expected move for the third-year guard.
Will Guillory: Rockets injury report: -- Alperen Sengun (low back soreness) and Marcus Smart (left forearm strain) are QUESTIONABLE. -- Reed Sheppard (low back soreness) and Steven Adams (right soleus strain) are OUT.

Mike Curtis: Alperen Sengun (low back soreness) and Marcus Smart (left forearm strain) are questionable for tomorrow's game against the #Mavs. Reed Sheppard (low back soreness) and Steven Adams (right soleus strain) are out.
Kevin Durant: “Reed is standing in front of the ball. Just a steady force on the offensive side of the ball, bringing the ball up, and defenses got to respect him out to the three-point line. But I think he’s doing a great job getting hands on basketballs on deflections, standing in front of his man, not fouling. So yeah, Reed is playing great ball and we’re going to need that from him going forward.”
