After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Magic, Haliburton and Siakam are off the initial injury report. That defeat locked Indiana into the fourth seed in the East, so there isn’t anything on the line for the Pacers on Sunday. Even if Haliburton and Siakam play, they’re unlikely to log starters’ minutes ahead of the playoffs.

Haliburton had an excellent game as a facilitator in Game 1. The 25-year-old point guard moved the ball effectively as he totaled 12 assists. It wasn’t the best shooting game for Haliburton, though. He was just 3-of-13 from the field and missed all seven of his three-point attempts. While the Pacers were still able to take Game 1 by nine points in game that wasn’t as close as the final score, it’s likely they’ll need more scoring from Haliburton to close out this series.

While Turner had just five rebounds in Game 1, he was otherwise excellent. The 29-year-old center was a force on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. On the offensive end, he was able to make four three-pointers as the Pacers pulled away from the Bucks. Turner vastly outplayed his counterpart Brook Lopez as the Pacers took a one-game advantage in the series.

Siakam led the Pacers in scoring in the Game 1 win. The 31-year-old power forward continues to show he’s one of the most underrated players in the league this year. Siakam was efficient with 25 points on 15 shots including three made three-pointers. He led Indiana with a +28 in 33 minutes in the nine-point victory. Milwaukee will have to come up with an answer for Siakam if they want to get back in this series in Game Two.

Murray struggled with his shot in Game 1 but was able to improve his shooting efficiency in Game 2. However, that wasn’t enough to help Denver defend their homecourt. Murray was able to make a strong impact and hit a triple to tie the game at 100 with 2:07 left in the fourth. However, that ended up being his final shot attempt of the night. The Nuggets ceded homecourt advantage by losing this game, and they’ll need to win one of the next two games to get it back. Game 3 will be in Los Angeles on Thursday.

After dropping 32 points in Game 1, Harden didn’t replicate that scoring in Game 2. That can mostly be attributed to Kawhi Leonard taking over this game, which led to fewer shots from Harden. The series shifts to Los Angeles, and Thursday will be the first playoff game in the Intuit Dome. Harden had 35 points and 10 assists against the Rockets in the Clippers’ last home game. Unless Kawhi goes nuclear again, expect Harden to be more involved on offense in Game 3.

For the second game in a row, Brunson briefly exited late in the game but was able to return. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said after Game 1 that Brunson went to get his cape. Well, he must’ve forgotten to grab it while he was back there on Monday. Brunson was still excellent in this game, but it wasn’t enough for New York to take care of business at home and head to Detroit with a 2-0 lead in the series. Brunson has now scored 34 and 37 points through the first two games, and he’ll continue to be an offensive juggernaut for the Knicks for the remainder of this series.
