Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers were there to help Drake start his betting year with a winning streak. If the bet paid out, the 15-time platinum holder would take home an incredible $225,000. The rapper has bet close to $1 billion on a range of sports and casino games on the website, in recent months. Drake, however, suffered a loss of nearly $1 million on the result of Logan Paul’s exhibition boxing match against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis earlier this year.

Well, Haliburton saved Drake from losing money against Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s side, who had been having an amazing run. The player is currently having an incredible season and is averaging 24.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 12.7 assists in the 2023-24 season.

This season, Tyrese Haliburton is looking unstoppable

For the 2nd time this season, Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers destroyed Giannis Antetokounmpo’s efforts. The Haliburton-led Pacers offense shut down Giannis’s 50-point shooting performance in the first meeting. Similar to that, the 23-year-old wrecked the Bucks’ star player’s triple-double tonight, confusing the Bucks Nation. Haliburton’s play throughout the game made it tough for the Bucks squad to overpower him. The youngster has consistently looked amazing and appears to be giving it all for his team.

Haliburton finished with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. Currently, he averaged a league-high 12.7 assists and a ridiculously efficient 24.7 points per game. Compared to last year, when he was named to his first All-Star team, that is a difference of four points and two assists per game. The effective field goal percentage for Haliburton is 50.2.

The Pacers, who are currently 18–14, have a stable team under Tyrese’s leadership. The Indiana Pacers have dominated and won four games in a row. Their next game is against the Bucks once more, and this time they have to work even harder to steal a victory from Giannis’ team. Although it will be a difficult task, their confidence will soar following today’s victory.
