Nembhard finished with 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has been outstanding as a playmaker this season and has recorded at least nine assists in four games in a row, tying his longest streak of the campaign in that regard. The scoring numbers have been a bit inconsistent lately. However, Nembhard is also delivering strong scoring contributions, and he's one of the go-to options on offense for a depleted Indiana squad. Nembhard is averaging 17.8 points, 9.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

Nembhard ended with 27 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and 11 assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 117-114 win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The 27 points led the Pacers in the big road win, while the double-double was Nembhard's sixth of the season. Four of them have come in January, and through 10 games on the month the fourth-year guard is averaging 19.0 points, 8.7 assists, 3.8 boards, 2.1 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 40.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Nembhard chipped in nine points (3-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and nine assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard scored in single digits for just the fifth time in 35 games this season in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics. The 26-year-old guard's shot was off, failing to make a triple for the fourth time and shooting below 30 percent from the field for only the sixth time. The Gonzaga product still led the way with a game-high nine assists, his ninth such performance this season and matching his career high from the 2022-2023 season, as he has taken on a larger playmaking role in the absence of Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles). In nine outings this month, Nembhard is averaging 18.1 points, 8.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over 33 minutes per game.

Nembhard logged 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during the Pacers' 113-104 loss to the 76ers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was given the green light to return Monday from a one-game absence due to a back issue. The injury didn't appear to bother the fourth-year pro all too much, as he led the Pacers in scoring while reaching the 25-point threshold for the sixth time this season. Nembhard has averaged 19.3 points, 8.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals over 33.1 minutes per game since Jan. 2.

Nembhard (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was held out of Saturday's loss to Detroit -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to a back issue. However, the 26-year-old point guard is set to return to action Monday. Over seven appearances this month, Nembhard has averaged 18.4 points, 8.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.6 minutes per game.

Nembhard (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will be sidelined for Saturday's road tilt while managing a lower-back injury, and his next chance to play is Monday against the 76ers. The Pacers will also be without T.J. McConnell (elbow), so Kam Jones and Ben Sheppard figure to be the top candidates to enter Indiana's starting lineup.

Nembhard logged 19 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists and three rebounds in 33 minutes during Friday's 127-119 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After shooting 37.5 percent from the field across his previous two outings, Nembhard bounced back and finished as Indiana's third-leading scorer Friday. The 26-year-old point guard also dished out a game-high 10 assists en route to his third double-double in seven appearances this month. He has averaged 18.4 points, 8.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds over 32.6 minutes per tilt in January.

Nembhard (back) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will shake off his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness for a second straight game. The 25-year-old point guard has recorded a double-double in two of his four appearances so far this month, during which he has averaged 20.8 points, 9.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. He has shot 55.6 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from beyond the arc over that span.

Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard is still dealing with lower-back soreness, though he was able to shed his questionable tag and play in Saturday's win over Miami. If the fourth-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Over four outings this month, Nembhard has averaged 20.8 points, 9.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Nembhard notched 29 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes in Saturday's 123-99 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Thursday's win over the Hornets due to lower-back soreness, Nembhard returned to action Saturday and led the Pacers in multiple categories. The 25-year-old point guard tied the game-high mark in three-pointers and led all players in scoring, providing 20-plus points for the second time in his last three appearances. He also dished out a game-best nine assists and has reached that mark in each of his last three outings. During that span, he has averaged 21.3 points, 10.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.3 minutes per tilt.
