Andrew Nembhard is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 22 of the 2022-23 NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: The less heralded of Indy's two rookies (the other one being Bennedict Mathurin) keeps starting games and getting better by the day. That'd be Andrew Nembhard for those of you not in the known, although you should be more than aware of this man's exploits by now and grab some shares before the regular season comes to an end.
Nembhard has moved from the starting SG position to manning the point in Indiana for the last week or so. It's been four games straight starting as the Pacers' point guard and the results couldn't have been any better. In this four-game stint, Nembhard has averaged a 20-2-5 per-game stat line on gaudy usage rates above 24 percent.
In fact, Nembhard has been on fire for five games as he's scored 14+ in each of those, hit 11 three-point shots in that span, hoisted a healthy 71 FGA (14+ per game), and contributed all across the board with a focus on scoring and diming.
The turnovers have stayed low even in this larger-than-ever role. The rookie is getting 32 MPG of playing time in the last five games, which is a notch above the 29 MPG he was already playing between December-February.
