The Pacers currently sit in the final spot in the Play-In, having gone 2-8 over their last 10 contests. The bright side or glass half full look for the Pacers is Tyrese Haliburton has continued to get into a rhythm. After missing ten games because of a knee and elbow injury, the all-star guard has registered just over 30 minutes per game since his return and is averaging 17 points and 10 assists over that span.
“In less than a year he’s completely changed the trajectory of our franchise.”

Tonight, Indiana looks to bounce back, after losing three of their last four contests, when they travel to Miami to take on the Heat. The Pacers are hoping Miami is a recipe for redemption, as their last win on the road came against the Heat all the way back on December 23rd.
