Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls: Tyrese Haliburton is playing, final injury report, official starting lineups for December 28

The Pacers just made dramatic changes to their starting five and are trying to refocus their style to play better defense. They will hope those changes can lead to more success today. Indiana took down Houston on Tuesday with that new rotation.
