With playoff positioning on the line, the Indiana Pacers will look to bounce back when they host the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Both teams are in the thick of their respective conference races and aiming to avoid slipping down the standings with just over a week left in the regular season.
Tyrese Haliburton remains the driving force behind Indiana’s offense, averaging 20.0 points and 11.2 assists in 10 games this month. After a five-game winning streak, the Pacers (43-31) have dropped two of their last three and sit just one game ahead of the Pistons for the No. 4 seed in the East. Haliburton had 18 points in Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma City as Indiana allowed 71 points in the second half.
Here is the featured Tyrese Haliburton prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s matchup against the Kings.

Haliburton often cleared this combo line in March and draws a favorable matchup against a Kings defense that has faltered recently. Sacramento has lost five of six and sits 10th in the West, with Saturday’s 121-91 loss to the Magic marking one of its worst performances of the season.
With Pascal Siakam mired in a scoring slump — failing to surpass the 15-point mark in four straight games — Indiana will continue leaning on Haliburton to set the tone often.
Interim coach Doug Christie criticized Sacramento’s energy and execution after Saturday’s loss, stating the Kings “did not do anything we talked about or wanted to do.” That lack of defensive focus opens the door for Haliburton to find success both as a scorer and playmaker in a high-stakes matchup.
Given his recent momentum and the Kings’ defensive limitations, Haliburton is well-positioned to deliver another strong performance and hit the over on this combo line. It doesn’t hurt that Haliburton will face his former team that traded him.
