The Indiana Pacers are coming off one of their most thrilling wins of the season. On Friday, they will focus on building momentum for their road matchup against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers.
Indiana snapped a three-game losing streak on Tuesday with an electrifying 115-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, propelled by Tyrese Haliburton’s four-point play to seal the win. Haliburton hit a difficult, off-balance 3-pointer along the sideline while drawing a foul, then calmly knocked down the free throw to secure the win. If it wasn’t the shot of the NBA season, it certainly would be a finalist.
Here is the featured Tyrese Haliburton prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup against the 76ers.

Over 28.5 Points + Assists (-110)
Haliburton has powered Indiana’s offense as the engine, averaging 22.6 points and 11.8 assists over eight games since the All-Star break. He also enters Friday riding a seven-game double-double streak, a testament to his elevated production as a scorer and playmaker.
Philadelphia’s injury issues only strengthen Haliburton’s outlook. Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey are all sidelined, leaving the Sixers without their three top players. Quentin Grimes has been a breakout player in Philadelphia, but even he is questionable due to illness.
The Sixers are not well-equipped to contain Haliburton’s pick-and-roll playmaking without strong perimeter defenders and rim protection. Indiana could push the pace very well as their offense tends to do, and against a struggling Philadelphia squad, long misses and turnovers could lead to plenty of those chances.
Indiana remains in a tight race for home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and with Haliburton leading the charge, this matchup sets up well for him to clear this combined points and assists total — especially if he takes on an elevated scoring role against a depleted Sixers squad.
