Haliburton finished with nine points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds and nine assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over the 76ers.
Haliburton had problems with his shot all game long and was unable to record double-digit points for the second time in his last three games. However, he still posted a decent line in terms of assists and rebounds. The lack of scoring limits his fantasy upside considerably, but given the sizable role he holds on offense for the Pacers, Haliburton should have a good chance of bouncing back against the Spurs on Thursday.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Haliburton (groin) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Haliburton is in danger of missing a second straight game with a groin strain. The 24-year-old has only missed one game this season for the Pacers, but this latest injury could keep him sidelined for Thursday's game in Detroit and beyond. Ben Sheppard may replace him in the starting lineup once again if he's unable to play against the Pistons.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Haliburton has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a mild left groin strain, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Head coach Carlisle says Haliburton will "likely be listed day-to-day," after the Pacers previously attributed the point guard's early departure from Sunday's 108-93 win over Cleveland to left hamstring tightness. With Haliburton out for at least one game, the Pacers will move Ben Sheppard into the starting five, according to Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis. While Sheppard should see a boost in minutes as a result, most of the playmaking opportunities are likely to fall to Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell while Haliburton is out.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Haliburton (hamstring) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Haliburton will likely miss his first game of the season Tuesday due to a left hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's win in Cleveland, which he finished with two points (1-5 FG) and five assists in 18 minutes. If Haliburton is indeed ruled out, Andrew Nembhard could see more minutes at point guard, while Ben Sheppard enters the starting lineup at shooting guard, but T.J. McConnell also figures to see an increased role. Haliburton notably strained the same hamstring last January and was sidelined for nine of 10 games, and he struggled to return to form down the stretch.
Haliburton has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to left hamstring tightness.
Haliburton took on a heavy workload in the first half, playing 18:30 of 24 minutes and totaling two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five assists, one rebound, one steal and one block. The Pacers ruled him out coming out of halftime, however, and while the severity of his hamstring injury isn't known, Haliburton looks to be in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's rematch with Cleveland, if not additional games to follow. Haliburton notably strained the same hamstring last January and was sidelined for nine contests over a stretch of 10 games, and he then struggled to return to form down the stretch. T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard could both be called upon to take on more ball handling and playmaking responsibilities if Haliburton's latest hamstring issue forces him to miss any length of time.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Haliburton is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Chicago due to a right ankle sprain.
Haliburton appeared to tweak his ankle late in the first half of Monday's 113-99 win over the Brooklyn, but he was on the court for the start of the third quarter and finished the contest with 23 points, eight assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 32 minutes. The star point guard may be dealing with some residual swelling and soreness in the ankle coming out of the game, however, making his status uncertain for Wednesday. If Haliburton can't play Wednesday, expect T.J. McConnell to take over as the Pacers' starting point guard.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Heads to locker room Monday
Rotowire
Haliburton exited to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury during the final seconds of the first half in Monday's game against the Nets, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton limped back to the locker room after tweaking his ankle, though he was able to stay in until the final seconds of the quarter, which bodes well for his status the rest of the way. The injury is seemingly minor enough for the star point guard to return, but he'll likely undergo further testing during halftime to ensure he is able to come back.

It's been an encouraging stretch in what's turned into a frustrating season overall for Haliburton believers. He'll look to keep rolling against the Nets on Monday.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Bounces back with 19 points Friday
Rotowire
Haliburton had 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and nine assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 142-105 loss to Boston.
Haliburton led the Pacers with 19 points and nine assists in Friday's rout, rebounding from a four-point clunker during Thursday's loss to the Thunder. It's been an up-and-down month of December thus far for Haliburton, but overall, he's still averaging a solid 17.2 points, 8.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers across 12 outings this month. Those figures are also more or less in line with Haliburton's numbers on the season as a whole, which may be a bit of a disappointment for fantasy managers who spent a first-round pick on the star floor general in drafts this past fall. Even so, Haliburton has settled in as a steady source of dimes, triples and steals while keeping his turnovers lower than most of the league's ball-dominant guards.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Struggles in loss to OKC
Rotowire
Haliburton accumulated four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 loss to the Thunder.
A rough season continues for Haliburton, as he couldn't make much of an impact against the Thunder on Thursday. The Pacers star may have dished out eight assists in the loss to Oklahoma City, which is about his average (8.7), but scoring four points against one of the best defensive teams in the league isn't going to get it done for Indiana.
Haliburton racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 111-105 victory over Golden State.
Haliburton had another impressive performance and seems to be rounding into the form that made him one of the best point guards in the NBA during the 2023-24 NBA season. He's carried the Pacers to a five-game winning streak while averaging 19.2 points, 10.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game while shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range during that five-game stretch. He's also recorded double-digit dimes four times in that span.

Haliburton logged his third consecutive outing with a double-double while leading the Pacers with a game-high mark in assists. The star point guard is on a pace to shoot a career-low 42.7 percent from the field, though he has seemingly turned a corner over his last 10 appearances. In that 10-game span, the 24-year-old has averaged 20.0 points, 8.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from deep across 36.5 minutes per contest.
