Nembhard will miss another game, which means Quenton Jackson should remain the starter at point guard. Jackson logged 29 minutes as the starter on Sunday, while Kam Jones played 19 minutes off the bench.

Nembhard and McConnell remaining out means that Quenton Jackson should remain in the starting lineup. Given the Pacers’ lack of depth at point guard, he’s worth picking up for the final game of Week 23. Kam Jones played 23 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Hornets, dishing out a season-high 10 assists.

Nembhard and McConnell will miss a second consecutive game due to their respective injuries. The former’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Quenton Jackson set to fill the void once again. Due to the Pacers’ many injuries, especially on the perimeter, Jackson is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Nembhard has been excellent lately with four consecutive games with at least 10 assists, but he’ll sit out Wednesday against the Bulls with lower back injury management. Nembhard will have just two more opportunities to play in Week 23.

Nembhard has now had at least 10 assists in four consecutive games, a stretch that includes a career-high 19-assist game against the Lakers. The 26-year-old has an impressive 53/8 assist/turnover ratio over his last four games. The Pacers have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Nembhard and McConnell are good to go for Sunday’s game, preserving the Pacers’ usual point guard rotation. While the former is already rostered in 12-team leagues, the latter is only worth considering in deep leagues.

Nembhard is back on the report, this time due to lower back injury management, while McConnell’s right hamstring remains an issue for the veteran backup. If either can’t play on Sunday, Quenton Jackson would take on an enhanced role within the rotation. Kam Jones could pick up a few minutes, but that is not guaranteed.

For the first time this season, Nembhard has recorded at least 10 assists in three consecutive games. And he’s kept the turnovers in check during this run, totaling 43 assists and six turnovers. Nembhard’s field-goal percentage against the Clippers wasn’t the best, but fantasy managers will be pleased with the assists and “stocks.” He’ll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Pacers host the Heat on Sunday.

One game removed from dishing out 14 assists in Monday’s win over the Magic, Nembhard posted a new career-high in that category against the Lakers. He was responsible for 19 while committing just two turnovers. A 6-of-6 night at the foul line boosted Nembhard’s point total, but the assists are what stand out. The Pacers play two more games in Week 22, starting with the Clippers on Friday.

Nembhard is good to go after initially being probable for Wednesday’s game. As long as he’s allowed to play starters’ minutes, the Pacers’ point guard should continue to be a positive asset in category leagues.

Nembhard should be good to go for a third straight game, and he finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and 14 assists in Monday’s win. Expect him to continue to stuff the stat sheet against Los Angeles.

Not only did Nembhard reach double figures in assists for the first time since February 22 against the Mavericks, but the 14 helpers equaled his total in his prior two appearances. The Pacers’ point guard finished Monday’s victory with his tenth double-double of the season, two more than his first three NBA seasons combined. The Pacers play three more games in Week 22, but the end of the 16-game losing streak could lead to mainstays like Nembhard getting a little more time off.

Nembhard is good to go after initially being questionable for Monday’s game. He played 28 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs and is likely to take on a similar workload against Orlando.

Nembhard and Nesmith were in the Pacers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, playing 28 and 25 minutes, respectively. They’ll likely take on similar workloads if available against the Magic. While Nembhard can still provide reliable standard-league value, Nesmith is a deep-league option at best.

Nembhard played 28 minutes on Saturday, and he was effective in his time on the floor. He’s now scored at least 20 points in five of the ten games he’s played in since the All-Star break. Something to watch with Nembhard is the status of rookie Kam Jones. If Jones misses one more game, his contract for next season would only be partially guaranteed. And under those circumstances, that could be when the Pacers decide to give Jones more minutes, possibly at Nembhard’s expense.

Nembhard has missed the Pacers’ last three games with a calf injury, with McConnell replacing him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should expect the same if Nembhard can’t play on Saturday, with Quenton Jackson (if available) and Kam Jones serving as the backups. Jackson is also listed as questionable due to a strained right calf.

Nembhard also missed Sunday’s loss to the Bucks with T.J. McConnell entering the starting lineup. The 26-year-old small forward will miss another game with a calf injury, but could be available Wednesday against the Trail Blazers as the Pacers stagger their players’ availability during a back-to-back set of games.

Tuesday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Pacers, who host the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Given how Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle approached Friday’s loss to the Knicks, this may be the game where the rotation is as close to complete as it can be. McConnell started Sunday’s loss to the Bucks, as Nembhard was sidelined.

Nembhard and Nesmith played in Friday’s loss to the Knicks, logging 32 and 34 minutes, respectively. Nembhard’s availability may affect Kam Jones, who was a DNP-CD on Friday. As for Nesmith, Kobe Brown and Ben Sheppard could pick up additional minutes in his absence, but Sheppard is also questionable.

Nembhard got off to an insanely hot start to this game, entering halftime with 23 points while only missing one field goal attempt and one free throw. Unfortunately, he entered the game dealing with both a back injury and a neck injury, and he ended up not suiting up in the second half, though there was no official announcement from the team. This was still a productive night for him, but it was cut short by an early exit.

Nembhard is back after a one-game absence. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) cleared to make his Pacers debut, he and Nembhard can establish some on-court chemistry. Nembhard has surpassed 30 minutes once in his last seven games, so fantasy managers should not expect to see him log heavy minutes on Thursday.

Nembhard did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Kings, with Kam Jones replacing him in the starting lineup. Thursday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Pacers, so they may sit their usual starter for at least one.

With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) already ruled out, the Pacers could be without their top two point guards on Tuesday. Nembhard continues to deal with soreness in his back and neck, and he’s on track to sit out the matchup with the Kings. If he can’t play, Kam Jones will likely slot in as the starting point guard.

Nembhard’s nine assists were the most in a game for him since February 22, when he recorded 11 in a loss to the Mavericks. Since the All-Star break, the Pacers guard has averaged 15.1 points and 6.7 assists per game. Unfortunately, Nembhard’s production in other categories has been limited on most nights. As a result, he has not been able to offer much more than late-round value in 12-team formats.
