Tyrese Haliburton (back) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Due to back soreness, the 25-year-old will miss his third consecutive contest. Haliburton was listed as questionable earlier in the day but has since been downgraded to out. Benedict Mathurin should continue to start in place of Haliburton. Fantasy managers could consider Mathurin a solid option for tonight's matchup. He registered 23 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one steal during 32 minutes in his last outing against Dallas on Wednesday.

Tyrese Haliburton (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against Dallas. Due to back soreness, the 25-year-old will miss his second consecutive contest. Haliburton has been dealing with some injury issues lately. He missed three games due to a hip injury before returning for the March 11 matchup with Milwaukee. He played the following two games but was sidelined for Monday's overtime win over Minnesota because of back soreness.
Andrew Nembhard should continue to be the starting point guard, while
T.J. McConnell will likely see an uptick in minutes coming off the bench during tonight's matchup.

Tyrese Haliburton (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas. The 2020 No. 12 overall pick has been banged up of late, missing three games due to a hip injury before returning for the March 11 meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. He played the following two contests. However, Haliburton was sidelined for Monday's overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves because of back soreness.
Pascal Siakam (personal),
Myles Turner (hip), and
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) also weren't available for that one, paving the way for increased production from
Bennedict Mathurin and
Obi Toppin, with the duo combining for 56 points. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect a duplicate performance from the pair even if Haliburton can't get back on the floor, considering Turner and Nesmith are off the injury report, and Siakam has a chance to play.

Tyrese Haliburton (back) will sit out Monday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was initially handed a questionable tag on the injury report due to back soreness but has now been officially ruled out. With Haliburton out of the lineup,
T.J. McConnell and
Andrew Nembhard will be looked at to provide more playmaking.
Ben Sheppard might also get more time on the floor, though his play generally doesn't translate to fantasy basketball.
