Reed has started the past two Rocket games, as Houston has clinched the two seed in the West and are resting starters for the playoffs. He had 20 in 37 minutes against the Clippers and 14 last night in 41 minutes against the Lakers. His stat lines look good, except his plus/minus has been terrible, but Houston hasn’t been playing any of their starters at all. He should get one more start in their final game against Denver tomorrow, then probably only garbage time in the playoffs, but he has shown he can really contribute when he’s on the floor.
