Haliburton played over 36 minutes in his last matchup, but it appears that he's going to need to show that he can go through pre-game warm-ups to play on Thursday.

Oddsmakers have the Pacers set as road favorites in this contest, which is a sign that they expect Haliburton to suit up for now. Here's a breakdown of how to wager on the Pacers' guard in the prop market against Atlanta.

Tyrese Haliburton OVER 10.5 Assists (+100)

Over his last six games, Haliburton has been on fire, picking up at least 10 dimes in all of them, clearing 10.5 dimes in five of those six games.

Hali last six games:

12 AST | 1 TOV
15 AST | 1 TOV
11 AST | 1 TOV
10 AST | 1 TOV
12 AST | 1 TOV
15 AST | 2 TOV

Now, he has a great matchup with an Atlanta team that is one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. The Hawks rank 26th in opponent assists per game, and they're in the bottom 10 in the league in opponent points per game.

If Hali is able to go, he's worth a look at even money in this market.
