Bulls beat Mavericks 125-107 after Kidd is ejected in the first quarter

Coby White scored 22 points, Ayo Dosunmu had 20 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Dallas Mavericks 125-107 on Saturday night to snap a three-game losing streak

JANUARY 11 • Associated Press

Starting Saturday Nembhard will start against the Bulls on Saturday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact After coming off the bench in each of Dallas' previous three games, Nembhard will return to the starting five due to Anthony Davis (finger) being sidelined. In 16 starts so far this season, Nembhard has averaged 9.6 points, 6.1 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 24.9 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet outing in loss Nembhard closed Thursday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes.

Impact The Mavericks are rolling with Cooper Flagg as their starting point guard right now, and he seems a lot more ready for the role this time around. Nembhard has been trending in the wrong direction for a while now, and he's averaging just 5.0 points, 3.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 17.1 minutes per contest over his last six games.

Coming off bench Saturday Nembhard is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Rockets on Saturday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Nembhard has started in each of the Mavericks' last 16 games, but he has seen his playing dip over his last four outings, averaging just 5.5 points, 3.5 assists and 1.8 rebounds over 18.3 minutes per game in that span. He'll come off the bench Saturday while Daniel Gafford enters the Mavericks' starting five to form a frontcourt with Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Muted performance in loss Nembhard amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-108 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Although Nembhard continues to hold onto the starting job, his production has really been lacking lately. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 6.4 points, 5.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers per game.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 17 minutes Nembhard accumulated four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 17 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Brandon Williams caught fire off the bench with 26 points, so the Mavericks rode the hot hand Thursday. Nembhard continues to trend in the wrong direction for Dallas, as he's averaging 6.6 points, 6.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds over his last seven outings while shooting 36.8 percent from the field.

Tough showing in loss Nembhard posted four points (2-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Nembhard has hit a rough patch, as he's been held to single-digit points in four of his last five games. In that stretch, he has shot 34.1 percent from the field for averages of 6.2 points, 7.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointes. He'll need to turn things around quickly if he's going to hold onto a starting role.

Mavericks already have a Ryan Nembhard problem on their hands The Dallas Mavericks already have a clear problem on their hands with their standout rookie point guard, Ryan Nembhard.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • THESMOKINGCUBAN.COM

Bounces back with double-double Nembhard had 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz.

Impact After going scoreless in Friday's win over the Nets, Nembhard bounced back with his third double-double in eight games since moving into the starting five. Over that stretch, the undrafted rookie out of Gonzaga is averaging 12.9 points, 7.1 assists, 2.6 boards and 2.1 threes while shooting an impressive 58.1 percent from the floor and 54.8 percent (17-for-31) from beyond the arc, as he takes full advantage of the opportunity available in Dallas' injury-plagued backcourt.

Mavericks have painfully obvious next move after guard's breakout The Dallas Mavericks need to make space on their 15-man roster so they can sign Ryan Nembhard to a standard contract.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • THESMOKINGCUBAN.COM

Scoreless in victory Nembhard recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 119-111 win over the Nets.

Impact Nembhard failed to score despite the win, turning in his worst performance since being handed the starting job. Given what we have seen from Jason Kidd this season, the point guard rotation is likely to be one of the more unpredictable position battles in the entire league. At this point, Nembhard remains a hold in standard leagues, while Brandon Williams is also worth keeping an eye on. However, that could change if and when Kidd opts to mix things up.

Career-high 13 assists Nembhard finished Wednesday's 118-108 win over Miami with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt), five rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Nembhard turned in another impressive performance, recording his second straight double-double, including a career-high 13 assists. Since assuming the starting role, Nembhard has averaged 17.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per game. While there are certainly no guarantees when it comes to Jason Kidd's rotations, Nembhard is worth adding in most formats.
