Tyrese Haliburton DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) will suit up against Detroit on Thursday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available, meaning Haliburton will sit out only one game due to a mild groin strain. Haliburton's presence reduces the fantasy value of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. Ben Sheppard might also take a hit because he started instead of Haliburton on Tuesday against Cleveland. However, with Bennedict Mathurin (suspension) unavailable, there is a possibility Sheppard remains in the starting unit for Thursday's game. Haliburton has not played well against Cade Cunningham and the Pistons this season, averaging 17.0 points and 4.5 assists.

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup against Detroit. He's nursing a "mild" groin strain, which has already kept Haliburton out of one game. Ben Sheppard replaced Haliburton in the starting lineup against Cleveland on Tuesday, but he didn't do much in 32 minutes. T.J. McConnell also picked up a few extra minutes and came close to a double-double off the bench. Bennedict Mathurin (suspension) is already out for Thursday's game, so several players must step up offensively if Haliburton also can't play.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) won't play on Tuesday versus the Cavs. Head coach Rick Carlisle clarified Halliburton's ailment, reporting he's been bothered by a groin issue as opposed to a hamstring injury. For now, the 24-year-old is considered day-to-day. Haliburton is having a down year compared to last, averaging 18.1 points, 8.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds with 1.3 steals. But he's at least stayed healthy, with Tuesday night marking his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. Ben Sheppard will get the start against Cleveland. However, T.J. McConnell, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin should benefit the most from Halliburton's absence.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) only played 19 minutes in his team's win over the Cavs on Sunday night, and it looks unlikely that he'll be available Tuesday for the rematch in Indianapolis. After he departed, Andrew Nembhard stepped up with 19 points, four assists, and two steals in 29 minutes. T.J. McConnell had eight assists and six points in 17 minutes off the bench. If Haliburton sits on Tuesday as expected, it would be his first absence of the season and leave heavy usage for McConnell and Nembhard. Both will be excellent streaming and DFS options Tuesday despite a tough matchup against the Cavaliers, who had won 12 straight before losing Sunday.

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday against Golden State. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Haliburton will look to bag a second consecutive double-double on Friday against a depleted Warriors team. Indiana is considered an 11-point favorite for the contest, meaning there is a high chance of a blowout, which may limit Haliburton's minutes. With this in mind, fantasy managers might not get full value out of Haliburton on Friday.
