00:00The Pacers tonight for the Pacers at home in Indy, hosting

00:04the Minnesota Timberwolves, two and a half point spread in

00:06favor of Indiana.

00:08How do you see that game?

00:09Where would you look in the prompt market?

00:11Yes.

00:11So this game, I think is going to be close, obviously, as the

00:14spread would indicate. Halliburton has been really up and

00:16down in terms of scoring, not just recently, but really the

00:19majority of the season.

00:20A player may have seemingly gotten right when it comes to

00:22his points, but his assists are super, super consistent.

00:26We're talking about 10 assists in 10 straight games, oftentimes

00:29going to 12, 15.

00:30So I like the nine and a half number.

00:32I'm not going to trust his points.

00:33I'll go to the assist.

00:34It's got a little bit of juice on it, but I like this spot.

00:36And again, this is a matchup.

00:38I don't want to say an overall mindset where Halliburton has

00:41to understand he hasn't been the most consistent score and

00:43we have to facilitate the offense, get the other options

00:46involved just because they need to come away with wins.

00:48It's not about him going out dropping, you know, eight threes

00:50and 40 some odd points.

00:51It's about the team coming away with wins.

00:52And I think we're starting to see that where he needs to play

00:55that floor general type of role and just facilitate the offense

00:58and he ends with six points, but 15 assists and they win.

01:00That's great.

01:00And him ending with 30 points and 10 assists and they lose.

01:03That doesn't matter.

01:03We need to have the offense moving forward and it's going

01:06to be Halliburton leading the way.

01:07And Minnesota's never been, at least this year, they're not

01:10a team we're scared of.

01:11Like they are barely holding on to their play-in slash playoff

01:13spot to begin with.

01:14So just give me a Halliburton doing his thing.
