Nembhard will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Nembhard will start at point guard in Tyrese Haliburton's (hamstring) absence. T.J. McConnell is also expected to see plenty of work off the bench. Nembhard has made seven starts this season, averaging 10.0 points, 4.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game.

Nembhard (back) tallied nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three assists across 12 minutes in Monday's 133-131 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard held only a light role in his return from a three-game absence due to a mid-back sprain, but he likely would have seen heftier minutes had he not accrued five fouls during his limited time on the court. Coach Rick Carlisle notably inserted Nembhard into the starting unit to open the third quarter after star point guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a hamstring strain in the second quarter that will more than likely result in him missing some time. Nembhard thus looks like the top candidate to enter the starting five in Haliburton's stead in the Pacers' next game Wednesday versus the Wizards, though Nembhard could still be in store for a split of the minutes at point guard with T.J. McConnell, who was the more productive performer of the two Monday (12 points, seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes). Even so, both Nembhard and McConnell look like strong cursory pickups in most 12-team leagues with the likelihood that Haliburton misses time.

Nembhard (back) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard missed the last three games due to a back injury, but he's been cleared to return to action Monday. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 9.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game. However, it's unclear whether the 23-year-old will face a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has missed the last three games due to a mid-back sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's unavailable once again, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield could see additional minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers will be without Nembhard for a third straight game, but the guard remains day-to-day. His next chance to play will be Monday in a rematch against the Celtics. With Bruce Brown (knee) also out Saturday, the Pacers will likely look to T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield to soak up the available minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard is in danger of missing his third straight game due to a mid-back sprain. More clarity on his status should come once he starts testing things out during pregame. If he cannot play, T.J. McConnell would presumably continue operating as the primary backup to Tyrese Haliburton at point guard.
