EDGE Analysis
Nembhard continues to garner an expanded offensive role with Tyrese Haliburton (knee) and Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) sidelined. The rookie second-round pick posted his highest scoring outing since Dec. 5, when he scored a season-high 31 points (13-21 FG) in a win over Golden State and finished with at least 15 points and five assists for a third consecutive game. During that stretch, he's averaged 19.3 points and 6.7 assists with 44/39/64 shooting splits.
