Rotowire
Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bucks due to back spasms, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 win due to the back issue, but he was cleared and scored 24 points (8-16 FG), his most this postseason.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Ekes out double-double in win
Rotowire
Haliburton provided 12 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Although Haliburton's former reputation as a prolific scorer has faded throughout the season, his skill as a facilitator is as strong as ever. The Pacers could use a dose of Haliburton's former shot volume as they attempt to advance, but recent trends show that big scoring numbers for the guard may not be coming. He's now gone four consecutive games with 20 points or less and has exceeded that number only four times over his past 10 games.
Haliburton accumulated nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-94 loss to the Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Haliburton managed just nine points in the Game 1 loss, with the Bucks doing a great job containing his offensive prowess. The two teams will face off again Tuesday, and should the Pacers hope to head home with the series tied at 1-1, they are going to need Haliburton to be more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor.

Haliburton will have to be at his very best for the Pacers' next contest against the Cavaliers on Friday, which is a game that could give the winner home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Rotowire
Haliburton accumulated 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 loss to the Lakers.

The Pacers are clinging to sixth place in the East, but they could drop a couple of spots if Haliburton struggles.
