With him and Doug McDermott out, it opened up minutes for Jarace Walker, who played pretty well.Still, Sheppard has become a valuable part of the Pacers’ rotation. The rookie shooting guard earned playing time earlier in the year thanks to his defense. Yet he wasn’t firmly in the rotation because he still couldn’t hit the open threes he was getting from TJ McConnell and Tyrese Haliburton.Sheppard fixed the issue of missing open shots. He actually…

If you project forward, the Kings were the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference entering Saturday, and the Wolves were first. It’s possible the teams could meet in the first round of the playoffs.…
