Ryan Nembhard tallied 15 points (6-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Heat.How Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd chooses to handle his point guard rotation has been unpredictable for most of this season. However, he may have found his answer in Nembhard. After dishing out ten assists in Monday's win over the Nuggets, the rookie established a new season-high with 13 on Wednesday, and he only committed one turnover. In four starts, Nembhard has 30 assists and five turnovers. While Brandon Williams (7/2/2 in 14 minutes) and D'Angelo Russell (10/3/2 with two three-pointers in 15 minutes) played rotation minutes off the bench, Nembhard logged 34 as the starter. He's worth rolling the dice on, especially with the Mavericks having two more games on their Week 7 schedule.
Brandon Williams: Available to playWilliams (adductor) is available for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.
Ryan Nembhard, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis will start Friday's game against the Lakers.Davis is back in the lineup after missing nearly a month with a strained calf. While he's made it clear in the past that he prefers to be used at power forward rather than center, AD will start at the five in his first game against the Lakers in Los Angeles since being traded. The other change to the lineup is Nembhard, who replaces Brandon Williams.
Brandon Williams: Good to go MondayWilliams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Heat.
Brandon Williams (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.Williams is dealing with lower back tightness, which is why he appears on the injury report. D'Angelo Russell (illness) is available, so he can absorb some of the minutes that would usually go to Williams if he cannot play. In this scenario, D'Lo would be worth picking up in deep leagues.
