IND • Guard-Forward • #2

Nembhard finished Sunday’s defeat with a solid assist tally, but the field-goal percentage took a beating in Indiana’s final game of the week. However, the fact that he played 30 minutes or more in both games of the Pacers’ weekend back-to-back is far more critical, given the time he missed with a shoulder injury. Plus, Indiana was without Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith on Sunday, which has to be factored into Nembhard’s poor shooting. He should get better looks when Siakam is on the floor. Indiana plays three games during Week 4, starting with the Jazz on Tuesday.

Nembhard made an immediate impact in his return to Indiana’s lineup following a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury, despite shooting just 2-of-10 from three-point range. The 25-year-old’s presence pushed Ben Sheppard back to the bench as he logged just 22 minutes in this one after averaging nearly 30 per-game during his absence. It may take him a couple games to shake off the rust, but his return gives Indiana a much-needed play-making presence to run their offense through.

Nembhard has been sidelined since injuring his shoulder in the season opener, but he’ll be available in this one. He’ll likely make an immediate return to the starting lineup, which should result in Ben Sheppard returning to a reserve role.

Nembhard has been out since the Pacers’ season opener, but a return may be on the horizon. If he can play on Saturday, Nembhard will likely push Ben Sheppard out of the starting lineup. Sheppard, who played 35 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets, would be worth holding onto in deep leagues due to Indiana’s lack of depth.

No surprise here as Nembhard, one of the many injured Pacers, only recently progressed to on-court work. Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker are worth considering on the waiver wire with the Pacers shorthanded again on Saturday against the Warriors.

To begin the season, the Pacers have been besieged by injuries, with Nembhard among the many players currently sidelined. According to Carlisle, while he has progressed to doing some on-court work, the point guard is not ready for game action. Indiana recently signed Mac McClung to a contract, but Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker are the players to target on the waiver wire, even if neither is a point guard.

Nembhard exited early from the season opener, and while there hasn’t been an official timetable reported, he will at least miss Saturday’s game. Ben Sheppard started the second half on Thursday in place of Nembhard and should occupy that role again. Jarace Walker also should see a bump in minutes as another playmaking option.

Ben Sheppard started the second half in place of Nembhard. It’s unclear if Nembhard will miss time beyond this game, but that likely won’t make Sheppard worthy of a stream. Pascal Siakam may step up as a playmaker, but it’s hard to identify a worthy beneficiary with T.J. McConnell and Kam Jones both sidelined.

While the Pacers did roll out their expected starting five for Friday’s preseason finale, none logged more than 18 minutes. Nembhard didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but was solid running the show. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out for the season and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) set to miss the next three weeks, Nembhard must shoulder a heavy workload in 2025-26. That makes him worth the risk in fantasy leagues, and he’s come off the board within the first 75 picks of many drafts based on his Yahoo! ADP (74).

Nembhard’s second preseason game was a productive one. He flirted with a double-double in his 23 minutes of action and tied a game-high in assists. The fourth-year guard notched career-highs last season in points, rebounds, assists and steals per game, despite shooting inefficiently from the three-point line. His numbers could realistically take another leap this season with more minutes and better efficiency from beyond the arc.

The Pacers will roll out against the Spurs what could very well be their opening-night starting lineup. This same unit started the preseason opener against the Timberwolves, with neither of the five players logging more than 14 minutes in that game. With one preseason game remaining after Monday’s, there’s a chance the main rotation players could see an increase in playing time against the Spurs. Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker and Cameron Payne will move back to the bench.

Nembhard did a little bit of everything in Game 6. He certainly bothered Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, who had just 19 points. Nembhard’s six steals were the most ever by a player in a closeout game in NBA history. Towards the end of the game, he had bothered Brunson enough that he head-butted Nembhard. The 25-year-old point guard was +25 in 37 minutes as the Pacers advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.

Nembhard was one of Indiana’s unsung heroes in this round, thanks mainly to his solid play on both ends of the floor. In addition to being a factor defensively, Nembhard reached double figures in four of the five games. While he may not be one of the stars, Nembhard’s value is not overlooked within the Pacers’ locker room. Whether it’s New York or Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers will need similar performances from Nembhard to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.

Indiana’s offensive balance and superior perimeter shooting won Game 1, with the Pacers snatching away home-court advantage. Nembhard shot 5-of-6 from beyond the arc, and Indiana outscored Cleveland by 33 points on three-pointers. Nembhard was also impactful defensively on Sunday. While Donovan Mitchell scored 33 points, he was inefficient, and the pesky Pacers guard had much to do with that. Nembhard and company will look to take a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 on Tuesday.

After shining in the first two games of the series, Nembhard struggled in Game 3 on Friday. Like Myles Turner, the Pacers guard rebounded nicely as the Pacers rolled in Game 4. Sunday’s win was the fifth in Nembhard’s postseason career in which he’s scored at least 20 points. Indiana will look to close out the series when it hosts Game 5 on Tuesday.

Though Nembhard’s contributions were mostly on the defensive end as the primary defender on Damian Lillard, he was still able to make an impact in the box score. That included a three-pointer with 1:11 left in the game that gave Indiana an eight-point lead, which they had no issues maintaining. Nembhard doesn’t always fill up the stat sheet, but he’ll continue to be an impactful player for the Pacers as their postseason continues. He’ll look to continue keeping Lillard in check in Game 3 as the series shifts to Milwaukee.

With Tyrese Haliburton (9/3/14/1/1 with one three-pointer) struggling to find his groove as a scorer, Nembhard was one of the Pacers who picked up the slack. Rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the third-year guard has been a ninth-round player over the past two weeks. Nembhard’s fantasy ceiling remains low as Haliburton’s sidekick in the backcourt, but his floor has been relatively safe this season.

Nembhard has now had at least seven assists in back-to-back games and three of his last five games. The 25-year-old point guard played a team-high 30 minutes Saturday and was -15 in the 21-point loss to the Thunder. Nembhard’s fantasy ceiling is capped by playing alongside Tyrese Haliburton, but he can still be a reliable source of assists.

Nembhard played just 20 minutes in the Pacers’ big win over the Wizards on Thursday. The 25-year-old point guard was still able to record eight assists in a short stint on the court. It’s the third time in his last six games that he’s recorded at least seven assists. Nembhard’s fantasy value is limited with Tyrese Haliburton back healthy, but he can be a reliable source of assists.

Nembhard continues to operate as Indiana’s primary point guard with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but it was a subpar night on Thursday. He struggled with his shot and ended up with more turnovers than assists, which is the exact opposite of what Haliburton typically provides. His night also ended early. Nembhard picked up a technical during an altercation with Trendon Watford in the fourth quarter, and he picked up a second technical in overtime. Even if he played out the final few minutes, there wasn’t much Nembhard would have been able to do to redeem his night.

Nembhard was the starting point guard Wednesday with Tyrese Haliburton out. The 25-year-old had 22 points and eight assists in the win against the Mavericks. It was more than a respectable effort, but his fantasy ceiling will be limited once again when Haliburton returns to the starting lineup.

Nembhard, the lone Pacers starter available for Monday’s game, was ejected when he got into an altercation with Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. After the Pacers guard inadvertently elbowed Mike Conley on a drive to the basket, Gobert gave him a forearm to the upper body. Nembhard threw the ball at Gobert, and both players were ejected. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 19 minutes. T.J. McConnell will play more minutes since Tyrese Haliburton is also out.

Nembhard took over primary playmaking duties for Indiana with Tyrese Haliburton (hip) sidelined, which allowed him to record a double-double for the first time this season. It wasn’t a new season-high for assists, since he had nine points and 11 assists in a game against the Heat last week. It was a productive night for him, and if Haliburton misses time past this game, Nembhard should continue to rack up the assists. However, this was only Haliburton’s second absence of the season, and there is no indication that this is an injury that will keep him out for multiple games at this point.

Nembhard didn’t do much scoring on Tuesday, but he was a factor in a few other fantasy-relevant categories. The four steals were a season-high, and the six “stocks” were double his previous high. Add solid rebound and assist numbers, and category-league managers received solid value from Nembhard. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s ranked just outside the top 100 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.
