Andrew Nembhard finished Friday’s loss to the Heat with 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists and five three-pointers.
After shooting 5-of-16 from the field in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, Nembhard was more efficient on Friday. In addition to shooting 50 percent from the field, he finished one assist shy of a double-double. With Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell sidelined, Nembhard will have to do more as both a scorer and playmaker. In theory, that should raise his short-term fantasy ceiling.
