The playoff race is starting to take shape for a couple of former Cyclones, as the NBA calendar has just ten weeks left in the regular season.
Tyrese Haliburton - #0, Indiana Pacers (42-30)
Tyrese Haliburton has been on a tear since the All-Star break, now having a 12-game double-double streak, the longest streak in the league. His best assist output came Wednesday night against the Lakers, where he finished with 16 points and 18 assists and just a single turnover.
Haliburton now has the best assist-to-turnover ratio since the All-Star break, owning 160 assists to just 14 turnovers. It is taking Haliburton 11.4 assists before making a turnover over the stretch.
Tyrese missed a few games with back tightness last week, and has only played five games in the past two weeks. In his two games before injury, Tyrese had 14-5-10 in a win over Philadelphia and 24-6-15 in a loss to Milwaukee.
Along with the 18 assist performance Wednesday, he had 24 points, four rebounds, and 11 assists (24-4-11) against Minnesota on Monday, and 16-8-12 against Brooklyn on Saturday.
Tyrese Haliburton has been STELLAR over his last 11 games:

Haliburton's Week: 18.8 PPG, 13.2 APG, 4.6 RPG
Next Week: @ WAS (3/27), @ OKC (3/29), vs. SAC (3/31), vs. CHA (4/2)
Georges Niang - #20, Atlanta Hawks (35-37)
Niang and Atlanta have had a productive two weeks, winning seven of their last 10 games, and approaching a .500 record for the first time since January. Georges had three performances of 15-plus points, having his first of the period in a win against the 76ers, dropping 18-4-3.
He also had 23-2-2 in a win against Golden State, and 20-3-2 in another win against Philadelphia. Between those two performances, on consecutive nights, Niang made 11 three-pointers on just 17 attempts. He is now up to an absurd 42.3% from downtown on the year on just under seven attempts a game, by far the best of his career at this volume.
A common trend in all games that Niang had 15+ points in; an Atlanta Hawks win.
Niang's Weeks: 12.9 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 1.8 APG
Next Week: @ MIA (3/27), @ MIL (3/30), vs. POR (4/1), @ DAL (4/2)
Talen Horton-Tucker - #22, Chicago Bulls (32-40)
The Bulls have now won eight of their last 10 games, solidifying the team's chance at making the Play-In.
Although the Bulls have found their groove as of late, Talen Horton-Tucker has not seen the court very often over that stretch. He has not appeared since Saturday against the Lakers.
Horton-Tucker's Week: 0.3 PPG, 0.3 RPG
Next Week: vs. LAL (3/27), vs. DAL (3/29), @ OKC (3/31), vs. TOR (4/1)
Monté Morris - #23, Phoenix Suns (35-38)
Monté found a way to add to the stat sheet for the first time since February 8th, tying a season-high in points with a 12-point and one-rebound outing in a win over the Raptors. Morris tied his season-high point total in just six minutes of gameplay, making a season-high 4-4 threes.
In his other performance of the last two weeks, Morris finished with 2-2-1 in a loss to Boston. The Suns currently sit in the 10th spot in the Western Conference, currently slated to play the Golden State Warriors in the Play-In, subject to change.
Morris' Week: 7 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.5 APG
Next Week: @ MIN (3/28), vs. HOU (3/30), @ MIL (4/1)
