The Indiana Pacers are facing the formidable rival in their next encounter. They’re up against the team of the Valley of the Sun who’re rapidly climbing up the competitive ladder of the Western Conference by winning 8 of their last 10 games and holding the fifth rank. However, on the other hand, the Indiana Pacers have just broken their three-game losing streak in an authoritative win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

But the Railroad City’s star player Tyrese Haliburton has been out of action due to a hamstring injury. So, will he back against the Phoenix Suns and help his team break their rival’s 7-game winning streak?

Tyrese Haliburton will be out against the Suns

According to the injury report, Tyrese Haliburton will not be playing against the Suns due to his left hamstring strain injury management. This is going to be the fourth game straight that he will be missing due to his injury. Haliburton suffered this injury during the match against the Boston Celtics when he slipped on a wet spot and had to be carried out by his teammates. However, thankfully it was nothing serious and just a strain that took him 10 days to recover.

The 2x All-Star even made a comeback against the Trail Blazers and achieved a double-double with 21 points and 17 assists. But even after that performance, the Pacers suffered a loss and his injury got aggravated. So, now the Pacers are resting him and making sure that he is completely fit before he enters the hardwood again.

However, without him, the projected lineup could be T.J. McConnell, Buddy Hield, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. And as for the Suns, they have a very strong team which includes Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkic. Last time the two teams faced off against each other the Suns earned a comfortable 117-110 victory over the Pacers, so what can we expect from this upcoming matchup?

Grainbridge Fieldhouse will witness a clash of two powerhouses

The Pacers should be anticipating an exhausting battle from the Suns, who are presently on a seven-game winning run. Durant and Booker, two of the league’s leading scorers, have been on a spectacular scoring spree, both exceeding 40 points in four straight games. Beal has also contributed regularly, averaging 18.1 points and 4.2 assists this season and stepping up in January with an average of 20.3 points on efficient shooting.

With the Suns’ recent success and the Pacers looking to build on their Thursday night win, the next game promises to be a tough struggle between two competitive teams. Indiana’s home-court advantage, as well as the potential influence of freshly acquired Siakam, add to the drama of this intense basketball game. Fans should expect an exciting and highly contested game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as both teams attempt to solidify their conference rankings.
