Raptors' Jamal Shead: Retreating to bench
Shead won't start against Portland on Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Productive effort in win
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.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Starting Tuesday vs. Golden State
Shead is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Warriors on Tuesday.
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.

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

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Double-double in overtime loss
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.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Drops 22 points in spot start
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.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Starting Sunday
Shead will start Sunday versus the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Hands out six dimes
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.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Leads Toronto in scoring Monday
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.
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.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Nearly double-doubles
Shead supplied eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 141-127 overtime win over the Warriors.
Shead's playmaking continues to be solid, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired in terms of fantasy hoops. Over his last seven appearances, he's shooting 32.7 percent from the field with averages of 6.6 points, 6.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Not starting Monday
Shead is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Heat.
Shead should see regular minutes off the bench in this game, but he'll move to the second unit due to Immanuel Quickley (illness) returning to the starting lineup. Shead is averaging 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game when coming off the bench this season.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Drops career-high 18 points
Shead accumulated 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 117-101 loss to New York.
Shead replaced Immanuel Quickley (illness) in the starting lineup, dropping a career-high 18 points in the process. After a slow start to the season, Shead has at least put himself on the standard league radar of late, averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per game across four games over the past week. He would need Quickley to miss additional time to have any real chance of putting up value, although Shead could be utilized for streaming purposes at a pinch.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Starting Tuesday sans Quickley
Shead is in the Raptors' starting lineup for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup against the Knicks, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Shead will make his first start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absence of Immanuel Quickley (illness). Shead has opened the 2025-26 regular season averaging 5.8 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 19.3 minutes per game.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Will play vs. Knicks
Shead (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Shead is overcoming a questionable tag with a right quadriceps contusion Tuesday. With Immanuel Quickley unable to play due to an illness, it looks like the minutes at point guard will be divvied up among Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter. Shead has averaged 5.7 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 20.7 minutes per contest over his last 16 games.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Iffy for Tuesday
Shead (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Shead is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and could miss Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. If the second-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, A.J. Lawson and Ja'Kobe Walter could see increased playing time. Shead continues to see consistent run for Toronto, averaging 5.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.4 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game over his last five outings. However, he has shot just 27.0 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from downtown during that span.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Logs two steals in loss
Shead had nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Celtics.
Shead hasn't scored in double digits since Nov. 23 and is shooting just 27.5 percent from the field and 17.4 percent from three in that span. However, he remains committed to playmaking and staying engaged on the defensive end, averaging 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals in that span as well. Shead will continue to back up Immanuel Quickley and will likely remain a steady source of assists and steals for fantasy managers.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Poor production continues
Shead notched three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 118-111 overtime loss to Charlotte.
Shead has been unable to find any rhythm thus far this season, a trend that continued Saturday. He has scored double digits only twice through the first 20 games, averaging 6.0 points to go with 5.4 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.8 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Nears double-double off bench
Shead finished Sunday's 119-109 win over Brooklyn with 11 points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine assists, one rebound and one steal over 24 minutes.
Shead struggled with his limited shots from the field but more than made up for it at the charity stripe with a game-high nine made free throws. He also led both teams with nine dimes and finished just one assist shy from registering the second double-double of his career. Shead has played a consistent role off the bench this season, though he and other Raptors reserve players will need to take on increased responsibilities if RJ Barrett were to miss time due to a right knee sprain that he sustained during the third quarter of Sunday's game.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Hands out five assists in win
Shead contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 win over the 76ers.
While Shead went scoreless for the second time this season, missing all three of his field-goal attempts, he made up for it by setting up his teammates with shots. Through 15 games, Shead averages 5.8 points, 5.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.1 blocks and 1.1 threes on a 41.0 percent clip.
