Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin Out for Pacers vs. Hawks

Tyrese Haliburton has been a standout performer for the Indiana Pacers since the All-Star break, averaging 23.9 points and 12.0 assists per game, while shooting 60% from the field. However, he missed the recent game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a left hip flexor strain and is listed as questionable for the upcoming rematch. The Pacers are currently battling for playoff positioning, sitting just behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They have won six of their last eight games and look to capitalize on their recent form against the struggling Hawks, who have won only two of their last eight. Meanwhile, the Hawks are dealing with injury concerns of their own, as star player Trae Young is listed as probable for the game. The Pacers aim to secure a victory to maintain their playoff aspirations against a team that they are expected to beat.
