Nears double-double in defeat
Nembhard notched 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Friday's 140-122 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
After shooting just 5-for-16 from the field in Tuesday's blowout loss to Milwaukee, Nembhard bounced back with an efficient shooting performance Friday, albeit in another losing effort. The 25-year-old point guard led Indiana in scoring and knocked down a team-high-tying four triples, matching his season high for the second time in his last five outings. Additionally, he dished out a game-best eight dimes and has recorded at least six assists in three straight contests.

Dishes out seven dimes
Nembhard supplied 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 103-95 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
Nembhard bounced back in the scoring column Monday after being held to seven points Saturday against the Pelicans. He also found a way to make an impact as a distributor, leading the Pacers in assists. Fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about Nembhard's two uncharacteristic offensive performances within the last week, as he'll continue to see plenty of opportunities to produce across the board.
