Nembhard accumulated four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 17 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Brandon Williams caught fire off the bench with 26 points, so the Mavericks rode the hot hand Thursday. Nembhard continues to trend in the wrong direction for Dallas, as he's averaging 6.6 points, 6.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds over his last seven outings while shooting 36.8 percent from the field.

Nembhard posted four points (2-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has hit a rough patch, as he's been held to single-digit points in four of his last five games. In that stretch, he has shot 34.1 percent from the field for averages of 6.2 points, 7.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers. He'll need to turn things around quickly if he's going to hold onto a starting role.

Nembhard had 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

After going scoreless in Friday's win over the Nets, Nembhard bounced back with his third double-double in eight games since moving into the starting five. Over that stretch, the undrafted rookie out of Gonzaga is averaging 12.9 points, 7.1 assists, 2.6 boards and 2.1 threes while shooting an impressive 58.1 percent from the floor and 54.8 percent (17-for-31) from beyond the arc, as he takes full advantage of the opportunity available in Dallas' injury-plagued backcourt.

Nembhard recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 119-111 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard failed to score despite the win, turning in his worst performance since being handed the starting job. Given what we have seen from Jason Kidd this season, the point guard rotation is likely to be one of the more unpredictable position battles in the entire league. At this point, Nembhard remains a hold in standard leagues, while Brandon Williams is also worth keeping an eye on. However, that could change if and when Kidd opts to mix things up.

Nembhard finished Wednesday's 118-108 win over Miami with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt), five rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard turned in another impressive performance, recording his second straight double-double, including a career-high 13 assists. Since assuming the starting role, Nembhard has averaged 17.0 points, 7.5 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per game. While there are certainly no guarantees when it comes to Jason Kidd's rotations, Nembhard is worth adding in most formats.

Nembhard closed Monday's 131-121 win over the Nuggets with 28 points (12-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard got the starting nod for a third consecutive game and delivered a dominant performance in the win. The two-way player was the team's second-leading scorer and dished out a team-high 10 dimes, becoming the first undrafted rookie in NBA history to record 25 points and 10 assists with zero turnovers. He'll likely continue to see meaningful playing time at the NBA level, and if he continues to impress, he could earn a standard contract at some point this season.

Nembhard recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 129-119 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard replaced Brandon Williams in the starting five. Williams' performances have been up and down, though he has provided solid value for fantasy managers after replacing D'Angelo Russell in the lineup. Now, the point guard position continues its instability. Friday marked Nembhard's seventh appearance of the season and his best. He'll presumably start again Saturday when the Mavericks face the Clippers.

Nembhard is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Lakers on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will start in his first NBA regular-season game Friday while Brandon Williams comes off the bench. Nembhard played 17 minutes during Dallas' loss to Miami on Monday -- all in the second half -- and the undrafted rookie out of Gonzaga appears to have earned a regular spot in the Mavericks' rotation, at least in the short term.

Nembhard is expected to enter the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Lakers on Friday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard struggled to establish a consistent role in the Mavericks' rotation to open the regular season. However, the undrafted rookie saw extended run time during the Mavericks' 106-102 loss to the Heat, when he played 17 minutes (despite not entering the game until the third quarter) and finished with two points, seven assists and three rebounds. Nembhard's addition to the Mavericks' starting five means Brandon Williams will likely revert to a bench role Friday.

Nembhard (knee) recorded two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven assists and three rebounds across 17 minutes off the bench in Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Though Nembhard hadn't been a regular part of the Dallas rotation before being shut down just over a week ago due to a sprained left knee, head coach Jason Kidd didn't hesitate to ride the rookie heavily down the stretch Monday in his return to action. Nembhard didn't check into the game until midway through the third quarter, but he served as Dallas' point guard for all but one of the game's final 17 minutes while Brandon Williams and D'Angelo Russell were relegated to the bench. While he didn't shoot the ball well, Nembhard excelled as a distributor, and he could prove to be an excellent source of assists if Kidd elects to expand his role moving forward at the expense of Williams and/or Russell. Nembhard notably led all of Division I with an average of 9.8 assists per game as a senior at Gonzaga during his final season of college in 2024-25.
