Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) has been cleared for action on Friday against the Knicks. He has been upgraded from questionable to available.

However, the 24-year-old turned things around on Wednesday night, finishing with a team-high 34 points, adding nine assists, six boards, and three steals. He also shot an efficient 7-for-11 from behind the arc. With that in mind, Haliburton should be out there for Game 3.
