The Brooklyn Nets (13-23) were hoping to have Ben Simmons and D'Angelo Russell coming into Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers (19-18), but unfortunately for them, that result did not come true.

Tyrese Haliburton totaled 23 points and eight assists as the Indiana Pacers led for the final three quarters and moved over .500 for the first time with a 113-99 victory over the depleted Brooklyn Nets on Monday in New York.

The Nets (13-23) have dropped five of their past six and 10 of 13. They have the seventh-worst record in the NBA, a half-game better than the Trail Blazers.
