Haliburton has been the catalyst for this Pacers team all season long. Despite some strange happenings with consistency at different times this year, the star guard has put together a pretty good season.

For the year, Haliburton has averaged 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Haliburton is the engine that helps the Pacers succeed on the court so without him, things could get a little dicey against the Hawks.

Indiana is currently sitting in the No. 5 seed within the East stadings, holding a record of 35-25 for the season. They have gone 6-4 over the past 10 games overall and the team will look to keep things going against Atlanta.

The Hawks are battling for a playoff spot themselves, making this a potentially competitive game. Indiana will need to be very focused and bring the energy to this one if they want to come away with the win over their East rivals.
