    • Considered questionable
      Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain.

      Advice: Despite all the injuries, Haliburton has been spectacular over the last three games, averaging 29.7 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes. Despite sporting a major limp following Sunday's Game 4 win, the All-Star is likely more probable than questionable heading into Game 5, but his official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) questionable
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, sacral contusion, right ankle sprain) is questionable to play in Game 5 against New York on Tuesday.

      Advice: Haliburton continues to deal with a ton of lingering injuries, but it is unlikely that they keep him out of the lineup for a pivotal Game 5 matchup in New York. Haliburton had 20 points in a blowout win in Game 4 after dropping 35 in Game 3. They’ll need him to shine once again on Tuesday to gain an advantage in the series. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton scores 20 points in Game 4 rout
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 8-of-15 from the field in Sunday’s 121-89 win over the Knicks, accumulating 20 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After struggling in Game 1, Haliburton has looked like his usual self for the Pacers. Indiana resoundingly won Game 4, which meant additional time on the bench for their key contributors. In the case of Haliburton, his day was finished about halfway through the third quarter. Now tied at two games all, the series shifts to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday. Given how much of a handful the more aggressive Haliburton has been, the Pacers have to like their chances.

    • Burn the tape: Jalen Brunson struggles in blowout
      Jalen Brunson shot 6-of-17 from the field and 6-of-9 from the foul line in Sunday’s 121-89 loss to the Pacers, scoring 18 points with three rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 31 minutes.

      Advice: Brunson and the Knicks were never in Game 4, as the Pacers won the first quarter by a 34-14 margin and did not look back. New York’s star point guard missed his first six shot attempts and finished Sunday’s loss 0-of-5 from beyond the arc. If there’s anything the Knicks can take solace in, it’s that Sunday’s result only counts for one game, regardless of the margin. Also, the blowout led to the Knicks’ key options sitting out the entire fourth quarter. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York, with the teams tied at two games apiece. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:59 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) available Sunday
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, right ankle sprain) is active for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Knicks.

      Advice: There is no surprise here, as Haliburton has played through the back issues since the first round. He rolled his ankle on a layup attempt during Friday’s Game 3 victory and is also dealing with a sacral contusion, but none of this will keep the Pacers point guard off the court. Indiana still trails New York by two games to one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:57 am
       
    • Available for Game 4
      Haliburton (back/ankle) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks, Tony East of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Haliburton will play through multiple injuries Sunday, as he's dealing with low back spasms, a right ankle sprain and a sacral contusion. Despite the injuries, Haliburton has played 35 or more minutes in each game this series and has topped 30 points in back-to-back contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 am
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) questionable Sun.
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, right ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Already dealing with lower back spasms, Haliburton sprained his ankle during the second half of Friday’s victory. He should ultimately be cleared to play on Sunday; the question is whether or not the back or ankle will give Haliburton any trouble during the game. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Questionable to play Sunday
      Haliburton is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks due to back and ankle injuries.

      Advice: Haliburton is pretty banged up, as the star floor general is dealing with three different injuries ahead of Sunday's contest: low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain. Haliburton has been playing well of late and has surpassed the 30-point mark in each of Indiana's last two games. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:39 pm
       
    • Shines in Game 3 victory
      Haliburton closed Friday's 111-106 win over New York in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 35 points (14-26 FG, 6-16 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes.

      Advice: The Pacers needed Haliburton to carry them offensively, and while Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner delivered impressive stat lines, Haliburton was the engine that kept the team going. This 35-point effort was his playoff-high mark during the current postseason, and he seems to be catching fire after surpassing the 30-point plateau in each of his last two appearances.
