    • Productive despite limited minutes
      McConnell supplied 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Friday's 116-103 win over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: McConnell was a factor once again Friday, providing the Pacers with a boost on both ends of the floor. He continues to be an underrated piece for Indiana, continuing what has been arguably his best season as a professional. Despite typically playing no more than 20 minutes, McConnell has scored in double digits in five of his past seven games while handing out a combined 45 assists during that period.

    • T.J. McConnell scores 15 points in 16 minutes
      T.J. McConnell finished Friday’s 116-103 win over the Knicks with 15 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 16 minutes.

      Advice: McConnell may have only played 16 minutes in Game 6, but that was all the time he needed to impact the action. In addition to scoring repeatedly around the basket, the veteran point guard was a defensive pest. McConnell and Obi Toppin have impacted this series, with the former offering more consistent production. Toppin also played well in Game 6, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 18 minutes. Given New York’s lack of depth, McConnell and Toppin can be difference-makers in Game 7 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton tallies 15 points, nine assists
      Tyrese Haliburton logged 32 minutes in Friday’s 116-103 win over the Knicks, accumulating 15 points (6-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, two blocks, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: Haliburton and the Pacers rebounded nicely from their 30-point loss in Game 5, pulling away from the Knicks during the second quarter and extending the series to a decisive seventh game. The All-Star point guard only attempted 12 shots in Game 6, but this was a night when it made more sense to attack whoever was defending Pascal Siakam. Haliburton was productive in the assist and blocked shot categories and shot 50% from the field. Game 7 is on Sunday afternoon in New York, with the winner advancing to face the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Rotoworld Friday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Records five assists in Game 5
      Haliburton tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in Tuesday's 121-91 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Haliburton's five assists tied T.J. McConnell for most on the Pacers in Game 5. Haliburton failed to reach 20 points after doing so over the past three games, though he managed to contribute on the defensive end of the floor, recording two blocks for the first time this postseason. Haliburton is averaging 18.5 points on 48.1 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.3 steals across 35.3 minutes per game in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:33 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton limited to 13 points in Game 5
      Tyrese Haliburton played 34 minutes in Tuesday’s 121-91 loss to the Knicks, accumulating 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: After playing at a high level in Games 2 through 4, Haliburton was held in check on Tuesday. New York’s lineup change was a factor, with Miles McBride replacing Precious Achiuwa. Not only did this help the Knicks on offense, but it also allowed them to use McBride to pester Haliburton. The All-Star point guard only attempted nine shots in Game 5, which cannot happen if the Pacers are to win this series. Game 6 is on Friday in Indianapolis. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:41 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) available Tuesday
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, sacral contusion, right ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available for Game 5. The Pacers will stick with their preferred starting five, as Haliburton is joined by Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. The series is tied at 2-all. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:40 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Haliburton (back/ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite lower back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain. The star guard has been scorching the nets from the outside against New York, converting 45.2 percent of his 10.5 three-point attempts per contest over the first four games of the series.

    • 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. Though he sported 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 Monday, 2:32 pm
