Will Tyrese Haliburton Play Against the Bucks Tonight?
Tyrese Haliburton's participation in Game 6 against the Bucks on Thursday remains questionable due to his back condition. Despite making the injury list ahead of the last two matches, the pro player managed an average of 20 points, assists, and 4 per game over 33 per match.
If he clears the medical check for Thursday's decisive game, he is expected to handle a significant load on the court.
The Pacers, rather than dragging the series out and having to head back to Milwaukee, aim for a takedown at the sixth game - making it their most vital match-up of the season to date.
Their win hinges heavily on their offense. The team has posted eight games with points exceeding 120 against the Bucks this season, however, they've shown signs of fatigue through the series, highlighted by a dismal 67.8% success rate at the free-throw line.
Ranked sixth in the turnover percentage this season, the Pacers have maintained an average of 9.6 throughout the playoffs.
They’ve also improved on their regular season offensive rebounding average, notching up to 11 per game in this series. The issue isn't about taking shots, but their unusual inaccuracy after five games.
With Thursday's game, the Pacers have the ideal platform to recapture their form as the highest-scoring team of the 2023-24 NBA season.
On the defensive front, the Pacers have stepped up their game, keeping the Bucks below their 120-point routine throughout the series.
Though the Pacers surrendered an average of 120.2 points per match during the regular season (ranked 27th), the team has shown resilience in forcing the Buck's misses on the playing field.
Moreover, the Pacers have done commendably in restricting the Bucks' trips to the free-throw line (19.0 per game). Despite being 26th in defensive rebounding percentage, they've managed to limit the Bucks to just 8.4 grabs per game.
