    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) will play in Game 1 against the Knicks on Monday.

      Advice: Unsurprisingly, Haliburton will suit up for the first game of this series. He is still managing this back issue, but he didn’t miss any time during round one. He should continue to start and play a ton of minutes. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
       
    • Officially gets green light
      Haliburton (back) is available for Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton will continue to play through a back issue that flared up ahead of Game 4 of the opening-round series versus the Bucks. After landing on the injury report, Haliburton averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 32.7 minutes per game over the final three matchups against Milwaukee.

    • Expected to play
      Coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Haliburton, who's officially listed as questionable due to back spasms, to play in Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Given it's the playoffs and he didn't miss time during the opening-round series versus Milwaukee, Haliburton was already considered more probable than questionable, so this isn't a surprising update. After the back spasms flared up, Haliburton played 32.7 minutes over the final three matchups against the Bucks compared to 40.3 minutes across the first three games, though one of those was an overtime contest. Even if he was a bit limited, Haliburton remained productive despite the back issue, as he averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds after landing on the injury report.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable for Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton dealt with low back spasms during the Pacers’ first-round series against Milwaukee but did not miss any games. T.J. McConnell and Ben Sheppard would pick up additional minutes if the All-Star point guard cannot play on Monday, but DFS players should expect Haliburton to be available.

    • Questionable for Game 1
      Haliburton is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks due to back spasms.

      Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Game 4 of the Pacers' opening-round series versus the Bucks but ultimately got the green light and averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 32.7 minutes over the final three matchups versus Milwaukee. Given it's the postseason and he hasn't missed a game yet, Haliburton is likely more probable than questionable, but his official availability will be a game-time decision.

    • Tyrese Haliburton drops 17 points, 10 assists
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) finished Thursday’s Game 6 win over the Bucks with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Haliburton only surpassed the 20-point mark once in six games, but the Pacers received enough production throughout the roster to eliminate the shorthanded Bucks in six games. The All-Star point guard hit double figures in assists for the third time in the series, with the Pacers winning all three of those games. Regardless of when the New York/Philadelphia series ends, Indiana won’t play again until Monday night, giving Haliburton and his teammates extra time off. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:58 pm
       
    • Top distributor in double-double
      Haliburton finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists and six rebounds over 32 minutes in Thursday's 120-98 win over Milwaukee in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Haliburton once again provided an offensive lift for Indiana in a series-clinching victory, leading all players in Thursday's contest in assists while adding a half-dozen rebounds in a double-double performance. Haliburton recorded a double-double in three of the six games in the first round against Milwaukee, finishing with at least 15 points in four straight outings to round out the series.

    • Available for Game 6
      Robinson (ankle) will be available for Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson logged 25 minutes in his return Tuesday, so he should see a similar workload in Game 6. With Robinson back in the mix, Precious Achiuwa will likely be out of the rotation. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:32 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 6 Thurs.
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson was not wearing a walking boot on his left foot when he arrived at the arena, which was the first sign he would play. The Knicks’ backup center has officially been cleared to play in Game 6, ensuring New York has both of its preferred options in the middle. Isaiah Hartenstein remains the starter.
