Tonight, the New Orleans Pelicans hope to break their 12-game road losing streak as they take on the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis. The Pacers, sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, are looking to build on their recent 121-107 win against the 76ers. The Pelicans are in desperate need of a win to break their troubling 12-game road losing streak, and tonight’s game offers an opportunity to reverse their fortunes.

But even with the Pacers riding high, the big question on everyone’s mind is: Will Tyrese Haliburton be on the court tonight? Let’s dive into the latest injury reports, team depth charts, and what to expect as these two teams face off.

The New Orleans Pelicans have several key players sidelined, with Karlo Matkovic and Jordan Hawkins out due to back injuries, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl out due to illness for tonight’s game. Additionally, Javonte Green is questionable due to ankle issues. Brandon Ingram (ankle), Zion Williamson (hamstring), and Jose Alvarado (hamstring) are already out from their previous games. For the Indiana Pacers, Aaron Nesmith is the only player unavailable for tonight’s matchup.

Will Tyrese Haliburton Suit Up at tonight’s game?

Tyrese Haliburton, averaging 18.0 points per game and 8.5 assists, is expected to lead the Pacers tonight and his three-point shooting. His recent performances have been impressive, with a 32-point outing against the 76ers and spending one of the most minutes on court(35.4 minutes per game). However, Pelicans had difficulties in securing victories, including their recent 111-109 loss against the Sacramento Kings. With key players sidelined, they have to rely on players like Trey Murphy III and CJ McCollum to carry the offense.

And to make matters worse, their defense allowed only 118.2 points per game in the last 10 contests, which places Pelicans among the weaker teams in the league in that category. This gives the Pacers an opportunity to exploit New Orleans with their high-scoring backcourt featuring Haliburton and Mathurin. The Pacers’ offense ranks among the top in the NBA in 3-point shooting efficiency, and this could play a significant role against the Pelicans’ defense, which is allowing 14.2 made 3-pointers per game.
