EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard finished as the club's second-leading scorer Sunday, following a lackluster Game 3 in which he shot 2-for-8 from the field. The 25-year-old has played a key role in the club's 3-1 series lead, scoring 17 or more points in three games.

Through two games, he's hitting 60.9 percent from the field with averages of 17.0 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes per contest. To put the icing on the cake of his big night, Nembhard's three-pointer with 1:11 remaining in the fourth quarter put Milwaukee's late comeback push on ice.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard made his presence felt in Game 1 against the Bucks with an efficient 8-for-13 tally from the floor. The Pacers will need this kind of production out of the young shooting guard if they hope to make a deep playoff run.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was one of several Indiana players who received rest Friday against the Magic in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the former Gonzaga standout will return to his regular starting role for the regular-season finale. Nembhard enters the final game of the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 10.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game across 64 starts.

Nembhard has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic due to a left thumb laceration.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers' entire starting lineup will take a seat for the second half of this back-to-back set. In Nembhard's absence, Bennedict Mathurin, Johnny Furphy and Jarace Walker are candidates for increased roles. It's unclear if Nembhard will return to action for Sunday's regular-season finale in Cleveland.

Nembhard closed Sunday's 125-120 win over the Nuggets with 19 points (8-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was one of several Indiana players who stepped up in the absence of Pascal Siakam (elbow), and he finished with a well-rounded line while posting his best scoring output since March 19. Nembhard, who has scored in double digits in four of his last seven appearances, is averaging 11.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

Nembhard supplied seven points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard tied the game-high mark in assists while playing only 20 minutes in the blowout victory. The 25-year-old has failed to reach double-digit points in four of his last five outings, though he has still recorded fairly efficient shooting splits of 47.2/36.4/100.0 in that five-game span.

Nembhard was ejected from Thursday's game against the Nets after picking up two technical fouls, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. He finished with nine points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes before leaving.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday's ejection marked the second time this week that Nembhard has been tossed, as he was also thrown out of Monday's game after being assessed a pair of technical fouls. Ben Sheppard and Bennedict Mathurin will be asked to step up down the stretch in Nembhard's absence.

Nembhard finished Wednesday's 135-131 win over Dallas with 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

With the team playing without Tyrese Haliburton, Nembhard provided a nice lift to Indiana offensively in Wednesday's high-scoring contest, handing out a team-high-tying assist total and finishing as one of three Pacers with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Nembhard has surpassed the 20-point mark in two outings, the other being a season-high 23 points set Dec. 26. He has now reached double figures in three of his last five appearances.
