Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable against Miami
Rotowire
Haliburton is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Heat due to a right knee bruise.
Haliburton presumably injured his knee during Thursday's loss to the Heat despite posting 44 points and 10 assists in 40 minutes. If the star guard is ruled out for the rematch versus Miami, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin would be candidates for extended minutes.
Haliburton had 44 points (15-28 FG, 6-16 3Pt, 8-12 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 loss to Miami.
The Pacers eventually faded late to lose the track meet, but Haliburton set a new career high in scoring along the way, topping the 43 points he dropped on the Hornets less than a month ago. The double-double was also the 13th in 16 games for the fourth-year guard, and Haliburton leads the NBA in assists with 11.8 per game while also sitting just outside the top 10 with 27.0 points per contest.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Dealing with wrist sprain
Rotowire
Haliburton is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons due to a right wrist sprain.

It's unclear when the All-Star point guard picked up the injury or how severe it is, but if Haliburton is sidelined, T.J. McConnell, Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin would be candidates for increased offensive roles, especially if Andrew Nembhard (back) and Aaron Nesmith (wrist) remain out.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Shines as playmaker once again
Rotowire
Haliburton totaled 37 points (11-18 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, 16 assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 157-152 victory over Atlanta.
The Hawks and the Pacers engaged in a high-scoring affair that delivered 309 total points, and Haliburton was one of the standout performers in the shootout, helping the Pacers clinch a spot in the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament. Fantasy managers have gotten used to Haliburton being an absolute stud across all formats, as he has scored in double digits while dishing out at least 10 assists in all but two of his outings. However, he's doing it at such as high level that he's outperforming his ADP and delivering first-round value. Through nine games in November, the star floor general is averaging 26.2 points and 11.9 assists per game while shooting 53.7 percent from the field and 49.3 percent from three-point range.

Rotowire
Haliburton finished with 33 points (11-18 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, 15 assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 win over the 76ers.
Haliburton made a giant leap to stardom in 2022-23, and he's now included in the conversation as one of the best point guards in the league and perhaps the best all-around passer in The Association. This was his fourth straight game with double-digit assists, and he has achieved that feat in all but one of his 10 appearances. The star floor general is besting his 2022-23 numbers by a wide margin -- he's averaging 24.7 points, 12.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game, and all three figures are career-high numbers for him.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Another double-double Wednesday
Rotowire
Haliburton recorded 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Jazz.
All his scoring came in the second half as Utah's defense began to fall apart. Haliburton has produced a double-double in six of seven games to begin the season, and while his 22.9 points and 11.9 assists per game are better than his breakout 2022-23 performance, there's actually room for the 23-year-old to improve even further -- his 37.3 percent shooting from three-point range would be a career low.

Rotowire

Haliburton (ankle) was lethal from beyond the arc and put to rest any doubt about lingering ankle soreness. Saturday marked his ninth career game with at least 30 points. Haliburton accounted for 57.8 percent of Indiana's total buckets as a scorer and passer, which is a testament to his dual-threat greatness but also a troubling weak point of Indiana's other four starters combining for just 40 points.
