Haliburton (rest) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets.

The Pacers rotated their first unit in the previous preseason contest, but they're trending toward what looks like their lineup for the regular-season opener against the Pistons next Wednesday. Haliburton is the Pacers' go-to player on offense due to his scoring and playmaking ability, and he's expected to play a massive role for Indiana in 2024-25 after coming off a career-best season in 2023-24.
