  • 12-6-2 2nd Place
    • 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 50 minutes ago
       
    • 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 51 minutes ago
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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.

    • Tyrese Haliburton scores 35 in Game 3 victory
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 14-of-26 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Friday’s 111-106 win over the Knicks, finishing with 35 points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, and six 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 34 points in Wednesday’s Game 2 defeat, Haliburton was one point better on Friday. And he was even more aggressive in looking for his shot, putting up 26 and shooting better than 50% from the field. And that didn’t crater his assist numbers, either, as Haliburton had two fewer (seven) than his total in Game 2. The lone concern for him heading into Game 4 on Sunday is health, as the Pacers point guard tweaked his right ankle on a layup attempt during the second half. Add a case of lower back spasms, and Haliburton may not be playing at full strength on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld Friday, 6:46 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) active Friday vs. Knicks
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Pacers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Haliburton is set to suit up once again. The Pacers point guard hasn’t missed any time because of his back spasms and should carry his usual workload. Rotoworld Friday, 3:54 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Haliburton (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with lower back spasms. Haliburton is averaging 20.0 points, 8.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals in 35.5 minutes across the first two games of the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:33 pm
       
    • Struggles badly once again
      Giddey closed Thursday's 119-110 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 11 minutes.

      Advice: Giddey's minutes continue to decrease with each passing game, and it wouldn't be surprising if he moves to a bench role ahead of Game 3 given how much he's struggled on both ends of the court. He delivered good numbers against the Pelicans, but in the two outings against Dallas, he's averaging 5.0 points while shooting 40 percent from the floor across 14 minutes.
