Tyrese Haliburton has been put on the injury list as questionable with a bad back, but Pacers coach Rick Carlisle hopes his star player will be able to put the pain behind him and put up a show for them.

Haliburton averaged 16 points, 5.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists in 6 games against the Milwaukee Bucks as the Pacers defeated them 4-2. Still, he was ineffective in game 1 against the Knicks as he could score just 6 points, collected 2 rebounds, and dish out 8 assists. The Pacers will be hoping that he gets back to his usual form so that the Pacers can level up this series.
