Averaging just 15.6 points and 3.6 assists over his last five outings, he hasn't quite hit that groove lately. At home, he's slightly better with 19 points and 5.8 assists, but that still leaves him shy of the 20.5 mark we're targeting.Against the Jazz, he's averaged only 9 points and 2.5 assists in their recent matchups, and even at home, those numbers only bump up to 15 and 4. Given his overall hit rate of 10 out of 14 for the under, and considering the Rockets' team dynamics, it feels like a smart play to take the under on Sheppard's points and assists this Saturday.
