Pacers never trailed in a 115-99 win at Charlotte, which ends a three-game losing streak.
Siakam with 25-8-9, Nesmith had 22-8-4 and Haliburton with 17pts in 20mins. Brandon Miller (35pts) was great for the Hornets.
Next: Tue. v Rockets – 8:27 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Haliburton at 20:17 of playing time and out of the game. Worth monitoring. – 7:39 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Tyrese Haliburton looking more comfortable on the floor. He’s helping fuel a 15-2 Pacers run to grow their lead to 17 — their largest of the game.
He has 5pts and 2asts in the quarter and is approaching his 22mins. – 7:37 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers up 55-44 at halftime. Their defense was solid the enitre half, and the 9-0 start to the game for Indiana looms large. 11 points for Siakam, 12 for Haliburton. – 7:09 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Consecutive threes from Tyrese Haliburton, who has been mostly patient all night. – 7:01 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers jumped ahead 9-0 and 4-4 from the field.
Since: 1 for 11.
Haliburton is out after his first stint of 7mins.
Low-scoring start. Pacers up 11-7. – 6:25 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
That Brandon Miller block on Myles Turner was extremely impressive. – 6:22 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton back in the starting lineup. It’s Haiburton, Nembhard, Nesmith, Siakam, and Turner in Charlotte. – 5:34 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Mathurin, Haiburton, Smith, and Turner are all available for the Pacers today in Charlotte, per the team. – 5:14 PM

More on this storyline

Tony East: Myles Turner is out tonight. Jalen Smith and Tyrese Haliburton are game time decisions. Bennedict Mathurin is playing. -via Twitter @TonyREast / February 2, 2024
Scott Agness: Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, Bennedict Mathurin and Jalen Smith are once again listed as questionable for tonight’s game v Kings. Mathurin has missed the last two games with a right great toe sprain suffered Sunday in a win over the Grizzlies. And Haliburton remains on a minutes restriction. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / February 2, 2024
Chris Mannix: Myles Turner, Derrick White, Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis are among the players Adam Silver will consider to replace Julius Randle, who is out for at least the next 2-3 weeks with a shoulder injury. -via Twitter @SIChrisMannix / February 1, 2024
Adam Spolane: Pacers say Tyrese Halliburton (left hamstring injury management) is questionable to play against the Rockets on Tuesday -via Twitter @AdamSpolane / February 5, 2024
Shams Charania: Sources: Among the commitments for the NBA Three-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis: Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley, New York’s Jalen Brunson and Utah’s Lauri Markkanen. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / February 5, 2024
Haliburton so badly wants to be out there with his teammates and play on consecutive nights, but to do so properly takes strategic planning and listening to those who matter most — medical professionals and Haliburton himself. “I know people are frustrated,” Haliburton acknowledged postgame, “but trust me, nobody is more frustrated than I am. Just trying to do what I can to get back. “This shit just sucks.” -via Fieldhouse Files / February 3, 2024
Dustin Dopirak: Carlisle says Bennedict Mathurin is out. Said it’s a stomach thing. Said it happened when he got here. Or they didn’t know about it until he got here. -via Twitter @DustinDopirak / February 6, 2024
Tony East: Kings beat the Pacers 133-122. It never felt that close. Third-straight loss for the Pacers. 31 points for Mathurin, 14 for Haliburton with one assist and five turnovers. Pacers defense was dreadful in this one. They play the Hornets in Charlotte on Sunday. -via Twitter @TonyREast / February 2, 2024
