Fred VanVleet Returns to Starting Lineup in Houston Rockets Victory

Houston Rockets point guard Fred VanVleet returned to the starting lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday's contest for non-injury reasons. His return moved rookie Reed Sheppard back to the bench as Houston secured a 120-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks. The victory improved the Rockets to 4-0 on the season, marking the franchise's best start in over a decade. VanVleet helped control the tempo as Houston looks to remain undefeated heading into Milwaukee on Wednesday.
