Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee/elbow) said he will play Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
Haliburton is ready to play for the first time since January 11. The Pacers may put Haliburton on a minutes limit in his first game back, but T.J. McConnell will likely move out of the starting lineup and Chris Duarte will take a hit.
numberFire's models project Haliburton for 29.8 minutes and 40.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $9,100 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Lakers’ implied total (119.0) is No. 4 out of 14 active teams today and the game total (240.5) is the highest on the board.
