Tyrese Haliburton injury status vs. Warriors
Given Tyrese Haliburton is questionable on the injury report, the assumption is he could end up playing. This isn't the first time we've seen his name on the injury report. Haliburton was questionable for the Pacers' Chicago Bulls matchup but hasn't missed a game this week. He notched a double-double (16 points, 13 assists) in Chicago's 129-113 win after finishing with 23 points and eight assists in a 113-99 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
This should be a big-time challenge between the Pacers and the Warriors. Once left for dead earlier in the season, the Pacers have erupted of late, winning four straight and five of their last six outings. This surge has been spurred by Haliburton, averaging 24.8 points on 50.8% shooting, 48.6% from deep, 11.0 assists, and 1.8 steals throughout the four-game streak. Before then, many began to speculate the Pacers would explore a trade before the NBA's deadline.
Turner hasn't been quite as dominant as Haliburton, but he has also stepped his game up compared to his season averages. He's scored 20+ points in two of his last three games, including a 21 points in a 128-115 win against the Miami Heat, followed by a 20-point game in the Pacers' 126-108 win against the Phoenix Suns. This season, Turner is averaging 15.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game.
Haliburton averages 18.4 points, 8.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. The last time the Pacers faced the Warriors, they were victorious 111-105 on December 23. Turner led with 23 points and 10 rebounds.
However, when it comes to Haliburton playing against the Warriors, there's a decent chance he'll suit up.
