Tyrese Haliburton hit nine 3-pointers in a 34-point, 13-assist effort in the Pacers win over the Pelicans Monday, a sign he's breaking through.

Instead, a series of injuries have severely thinned the Pacers once-deep roster, Haliburton's shots stopped falling, the losses piled up and suddenly the straight-talking guy who inspired so many with his beaming, trademark smile didn't look or sound like himself.

Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton posted 21 points and nine assists in a bounce back effort on Sunday. Pascal Siakam told him to keep that energy.

The Pelicans were without four players in the game, including All-Defensive first teamer Herb Jones (right shoulder strain) and veteran guard CJ McCollum (right Abductor strain). Pacers starting guard Andrew Nembhard didn’t play due to a sore left knee.
