Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton and high-scoring wing Bennedict Mathurin are questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

The Indiana Pacers were able to survive a lot of injuries early in the season. Aaron Nesmith's injury just a few games into the season threw the starting lineup into chaos. Bennedict Mathurin was thrust into the starting lineup for a lot of the season.
The Indiana Pacers have been on an impressive run in 2025, playing some of their best basketball of the season. They currently hold a 16-5 record in the new year, showing that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference.
