Haliburton remains on the injury report due to strained left hamstring injury management. He has missed six of the last seven games.
The Pacers started TJ McConnell in Haliburton's place on Sunday, but he played just 12 minutes. Pascal Siakam led the team with seven assists in his second game with the team. Coach Carlisle utilized a different rotation than usual, with 11 players logging at least 12 minutes. Haliburton missed the prior game against the Nuggets, and the team has a 4-5 record with him sidelined this season.

James will miss his second game over the last 10 days as he continues to deal with a left ankle injury. Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, Rui Hachimura, and Jarred Vanderbilt are all options to fill out the starting lineup and play increased minutes.
Since returning to the starting lineup five games ago, D'Angelo Russell has averaged 27.2 points per game. He'll look to continue his scoring streak with extra offensive opportunities with James sidelined. Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves will also benefit from a higher usage rate.
Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, Terance Mann, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Mason Plumlee
Ivica Zubac (calf) — Injured
Moussa Diabate (hand) — Injured
