Ryan Nembhard injury status against Rockets
With Ryan Nembhardt likely on the injury report, it is assumed he will play against the Rockets. The two-way rookie has taken over a backup role in the Mavericks’ backcourt, having been a constant spark off the bench for head coach Jason Kidd this season.
Nembhard is averaging 7.0 points on 44.7% shooting, including 38.3% from deep, and 4.9 assists per game this season. He scored a season-high 28 points on 12-of-14 shooting, including four 3-pointers in a 131-121 win against the Nuggets on Dec. 1.
The Mavs will look to bounce back from a 123-121 loss to the Hornets and snap a four-game skid as they are 5-5 in their last 10 games, including a 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves and a 114-97 win against the Knicks last Monday.
