Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) has picked up another questionable tag ahead of Game 5 against the Knicks on Tuesday. He is troubled by lower back spasms, a sacral contusion, and a right ankle sprain, but Haliburton is expected to remain in the lineup. The issues didn't keep him from producing 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes on Sunday as the Pacers tied the second-round series with a big home win. The two teams now meet up in New York again, with Haliburton averaging 23.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 2.3 steals in the matchup.
Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell played a big part in Sunday's 121-89 win over the Knicks with 15 points and 10 assists off the bench. Additionally, he registered four rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes of action, shooting 6-for-12 from the field and making both of his attempts from three-point range. McConnell had a strong finish with a 20-point effort in the first round, and his importance has continued to grow in the series against the Knicks. The 32-year-old has posted two double-doubles through four games, averaging 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.5 steals.
Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (shoulder) will be good to go for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks. He hurt his right shoulder in the previous contest, which gave Nesmith a questionable tag ahead of Game 4. But the team has upgraded Nesmith to available ahead of tip-off. The 24-year-old typically provides a little bit of everything, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.7 steals for the 2024 playoffs.
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) will play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday. The talented playmaker has suffered multiple injuries during the team's playoff run but will continue to battle on. Haliburton has a chance to post a third consecutive 30-point game on Sunday. He's averaging 25.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 3.0 steals against the Knicks with 5.0 made triples.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) is questionable for Sunday's postseason battle with the Knicks. The back spasms aren't new, but he tweaked his ankle in Friday's win, so most had assumed he'd be back on the injury report for Game 4. Haliburton has been on a roll despite the ailments, amassing 69 points, 16 assists, and five steals in his last two appearances. With that type of production, he'll see plenty of attention from DFS managers for Game 4, assuming he's available.
