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.
Tyrese Haliburton Doubtful Tuesday Against The Cavaliers
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.
Tyrese Haliburton Could Miss Friday's Game Against Warriors
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) drew a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors while dealing with a right ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't missed a game yet this season, so this could be his first absence through the first 39 games. If he's unable to suit up, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin will get instant boosts in fantasy value while T.J. McConnell may move into the starting five. Nembhard had the biggest game of the three in their last game with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals.
Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) is questionable to play on Wednesday against Chicago. The star guard hurt his ankle on Monday versus Brooklyn but was able to finish the game. However, the team has given him a questionable designation on the injury report entering Wednesday. T.J. McConnell will likely replace Haliburton in the starting unit if he can't play, while Andrew Nembhard might also see an uptick in minutes. The Pacers' backcourt should find plenty of joy against a team that gives up the second-most points in the league (121.0).
Tyrese Haliburton Suffered Leg Injury During Olympics
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton was carrying a leg injury during the Paris Olympics. According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Haliburton dealt with a "minor" leg injury and had an MRI during the tournament. The Pacers star featured in only three games during Team USA's run to win another gold medal, logging 26 total minutes. Injuries have started to trouble Haliburton quite often, but this setback shouldn't keep him from being ready to go for the start of the new NBA campaign. Haliburton had a fantastic season in 2023-24, and as a relatively young player, he should have the potential to elevate his game even further.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) reported he's progressing in his recovery from another hamstring injury sustained during the Eastern Conference Finals. "The hamstring is good," said Haliburton during an interview on Friday. "Today, I ran for the first time at full speed." The 24-year-old is coming off another productive season, amassing 20.1 points, 10.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. But he missed time because of injury in 2023-24, appearing in 69 games after playing in just 56 the year before. Haliburton still plans to suit up for Team USA in the Olympics. With that in mind, he could be a top-10 fantasy option in all formats during the 2024-25 campaign, although he needs to figure out how to stay on the floor.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't play in Monday's pivotal matchup with the Boston Celtics. He injured his left hamstring in Game 2 and was ruled out for Game 3 on Friday night. While the team had him listed as questionable on the league's official injury report, most had assumed he wouldn't be available. With that said, Haliburton's status for the remainder of the series is a mystery. However, the Pacers would be eliminated from the postseason with a loss on Monday night, so his status might not matter as much after Game 4. Nonetheless, DFS managers should anticipate more production from T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner.
