The Indiana Pacers will play in their 67th game of the season on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

The Pacers will seek their 38th win of the season and their 17th on the road. It won't be an easy matchup, as the Timberwolves have become one of the hottest teams in the league. 

Minnesota has won eight games in a row and is 8-2 in its last 10 games. The Pacers will have their hands full in this matchup, and to make things worse, they will be without their star point guard Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton, who entered the game listed as questionable due to a sore back, will miss tonight's matchup. 

Haliburton will miss his fifth game of the season.

The loss on Saturday snapped a four-game win streak with Haliburton in the lineup.
