Tyrese Haliburton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old was sidelined for five games before returning for Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He played well in that one, ending the night with 21 points and 17 assists. But he wasn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. However, head coach Rick Carlisle indicated Haliburton was out for injury management, easing concerns throughout the fantasy basketball community. That said, barring a setback, Haliburton will suit up versus the defending champs. But if he can't, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner would presumably remain the primary offensive options. At the same time, players like Buddy Hield, T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin, and Andrew Nembhard, among others, could see more scoring opportunities.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (rest) won't play on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns. He returned from a five-game absence caused by a hamstring issue for Friday's loss to Portland, finishing with 21 points and 17 assists in 35 minutes. But Indiana will be cautious with the 23-year-old, so he'll get the night off to rest before presumably suiting up on Tuesday versus the Nuggets. In the meantime, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin will likely handle most of the scoring duties. On the other hand, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield could be worth streaming in all fantasy leagues.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Haliburton made his return to court on Friday after missing nearly two weeks of action. He played 35 minutes in that contest, so possibly the Pacers are just being cautious with their star guard. Andrew Nembhard (spine) is also questionable for Sunday's game. T.J. McConnell could be asked to move into the starting five and play big minutes. He'd be worth streaming if Haliburton is unable to play.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is officially active for Friday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old tweaked his hamstring during the January 8 matchup against the Boston Celtics, keeping him out of the lineup for Indiana's last five contests. Haliburton had indicated on Friday that he'd be good to go. However, things are now official. Of course, there's a chance he could see fewer minutes than usual, especially if the Pacers go up big. Haliburton will also be playing his first game with new teammate Pascal Siakam, so his production could suffer to a degree, although not enough to keep him out of any fantasy lineup.

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle says Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't return to action against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Though Haliburton will miss a revenge-game shot versus his former team, a return on Thursday may have been wishful thinking. As of Jan. 9, the Pacers anticipated that Haliburton's Grade 1 hamstring strain would sideline him for at least two weeks. Indiana is back in action on a short turnaround against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, so the All-Star floor general's status doesn't have much time to improve. T.J. McConnell's minutes haven't grown in Haliburton's absence as some fantasy managers may have hoped for, but Bruce Brown is now out of the mix after Wednesday's trade. Andrew Nembhard (spine), Bennedict Mathurin (ankle), and Aaron Nesmith (shin) are all questionable, so McConnell and Buddy Hield could dominate backcourt minutes on Thursday.
