Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
The injury update on Haliburton is he suffered a left elbow sprain and a mild bone contusion to his knee. Obviously, the news could be worse, but the fact they won’t reevaluate for two weeks will mean Rick Carlisle will need the roster to employ a ‘next man up’ mentality.
All in all, the last time Andrew Nembhard got his shot he fulfilled the role admirably, so I’ll bet on him and take the points.
