The Indiana Pacers are expected to be active at the trade deadline next spring and they could be in line to make a splash. One name that has been heavily linked

When Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Thomas Bryant, and Obi Toppin were on the floor, they set the record for the lowest number combination ever for one team in an NBA game. It was a cool moment for all of the basketball nerds out there.

The Indiana Pacers were always going to have a hard time living up to expectations this season after they made a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago. Indiana is off to just a 20-18 start this season,

Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) and All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton (sprained right ankle) are both listed as questionable for Friday.

The Indiana Pacers opted to keep forward James Johnson instead of chasing financial savings as a key contract deadline passed this week.

Dating back to last season when Tyrese Haliburton found his stride as a superstar, the Indiana Pacers have boasted one of the very best offenses in the NBA. Despite their lackluster 20-18 record after making the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Pacers can hang their hat on their ability to put points on the board.

Andrew Wiggins was out for the Warriors' game against the Pistons, and Steve Kerr gave an injury update of the Pacers game.

"Though he is putting together another solid campaign, Toppin remains a top trade candidate for Indiana," wrote FanSided's Elie Deglaoui. "He is unlikely to ever play a bigger role than he currently is, and his contract makes it easier for the Pacers to include him in a package deal for an upgrade."

The Indiana Pacers' win/loss record is heavily tied to the inconsistent play of All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton this season.
