Heading into the Brooklyn Nets' 113-99 loss to the Indiana Pacers, the lack of Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas, Ben Simmons and D'Angelo Russell might lead one to assume the hosts' offense would struggle early.

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.

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.
