Nembhard had four points (2-3 FG) and four assists across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 142-135 loss to Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was limited to just 13 minutes, with the return of Brandon Williams (concussion) likely impacting Nembhard's opportunities. Other than his upside in assists, it's hard to hold Nembhard outside of very deep formats. For those in standard leagues, he can be streamed, though his role is likely to fluctuate from game to game.

Nembhard will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard's streak of four consecutive starts will come to an end Saturday night. Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford make up the Mavericks' first unit. Nembhard averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists across 25.8 minutes during his four-game start streak.

Nembhard registered two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard remained in the starting lineup, making it three straight starts for the rookie. Despite the promotion, production has not followed, averaging just 7.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers during that time. Given his lack of offensive polish, Nembhard should be viewed as nothing more than a potential assists streamer.

Nembhard is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has played 10 minutes or less in three of his last four outings while coming off the bench. However, he'll have the opportunity to serve in an expanded role Friday as he starts for the first time since Jan. 10 against the Bulls, when he played 29 minutes and finished with 16 points, six assists, three rebounds and three three-pointers.

Nembhard amassed three assists in nine minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard continues to play limited minutes off the bench, resulting in muted production. Despite being converted to a full-time contract, Nembhard has struggled to carve out a meaningful spot in the rotation. In six games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 4.3 points and 3.0 assists in 13.0 minutes per contest.

The Mavericks converted Nembhard's two-way contract to a two-year standard contract Saturday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

A spot opened up on the roster after Tyus Jones was waived, which the Mavericks opted to fill with Nembhard on a two-year deal that includes a team option for the 2026-27 season. Nembhard has spent most of February in the G League with the Texas Legends but has seen meaningful playing time at the NBA level this season, including a 16-game stretch from late November to early January in which he started and averaged 9.6 points, 6.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 threes over 24.9 minutes per game. He last saw NBA action Feb. 5 but should see some consistent minutes off the bench for the rest of the regular season, especially for as long as Cooper Flagg (foot) is sidelined.

The Mavericks list Nembhard (two-way) as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has been active for 44 games at the NBA level this season, meaning he can suit up just six more times before the Mavericks would need to convert him from a two-way deal to a standard contract for him to play again in 2025-26. The Mavericks acquired Tyus Jones ahead of Thursday's trade deadline to bolster their depth at point guard and lessen the need to lean as heavily on Nembhard off the bench. Until he's called up to the parent club again, Nembhard should still continue to get steady run in the G League. He made his first appearance for the G League's Texas Legends since Nov. 11 in Friday's 115-105 loss to the Stockton Kings, playing 38 minutes and finishing with 24 points (11-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal.

Nembhard recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three assists in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Even with both Brandon Williams (leg) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) sidelined, Nembhard was unable to make the most of his opportunity. In what has been a roller coaster of a rookie season, it appears as though Nembhard could struggle to play meaningful minutes, at least for the foreseeable future. With that said, he is someone to keep an eye on, especially if Dallas opts to throw in the towel at any point.

Nembhard ended Saturday's 111-107 loss to the Rockets with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one block across 11 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard failed to score for the second straight game, continuing to play a modest role as the third-string point guard. In six appearances over the past two weeks, the rookie has averaged just 2.8 points and 3.2 assists in 11.3 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 300 in standard formats. With that said, Brandon Williams suffered a knee injury during the loss, forcing him to leave the game prematurely. If he misses any time moving forward, Nembhard could be back on the streaming radar for anyone needing assists.

Nembhard recorded four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Although Nembhard has maintained a sizable role since shifting to the bench, his fantasy appeal remains very low. Across his last eight games, he's seen 20.7 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 38.9 percent shooting from the field.
