What happened

Toronto played Monday without Kawhi Leonard, Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles and Immanuel Quickley, creating a larger role for Jamal Shead against Memphis.

Shead answered with 20 points, 11 assists and four made threes, his most this season, while also drawing a second-quarter offensive foul.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Toronto’s injured guards remain out, Shead’s ball-handling and shot volume could stay elevated in the next rotation.
