Woj: Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) "unlikely" to play in Game 4 Monday

Haliburton suffered a hamstring strain in Game 2 of the ECF and was subsequently held out of the team's close Game 3 loss. He is reportedly pushing to play as the Pacers try to stave off elimination, but Wojnarowski's sources make it seem like that could be wishful thinking. The star has not yet been ruled out and technically remains questionable, but it sounds like the team is preparing to be without him for the most important game of the season.

Ben Sheppard got the start with Haliburton sidelined for Game 3 and would be the presumed starter for Game 4. Our model projects him for 11.5 FanDuel points in the contest, with 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.
