Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Hits for 19 points in win
Sheppard racked up 19 points (7-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over Memphis.
With Houston's starters taking a seat during the regular-season finale, Sheppard stepped into the first unit. It's a familiar path for Sheppard, who started 21 times this season and is often the preferred candidate at the point guard position. The team could go with Sheppard or Josh Okogie as they begin the first-round series with the Lakers, but Sheppard should log significant minutes in either event.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Goes for 20 points in victory
Eason posted 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 victory over Memphis.
Eason ceded significant time to Jabari Smith over the course of the season, but Eason got the green light for production at the four with the first unit sidelined during the regular-season finale. An eight-game stretch of single-digit scoring totals in March brought an end to his stint with the first unit, but the demotion didn't affect his bottom line. He still logged significant minutes and remained a decent source of rebounding for the squad.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Logs season-high 23 points
Capela racked up 23 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Grizzlies.
With Houston sitting the first unit, Capela started, recorded a double-double and hit an intriguing milestone. After seven failed attempts over his 12 seasons in the league, Capela drained the first three-pointer of his career. Although he's stuck behind Alperen Sengun on the depth chart, Capela has provided ample support in limited action. He'll return to the bench against the Lakers during the first round of the playoffs.
