1. Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield

Haliburton and Hield have been driving the surprising Pacers all season long with their budding chemistry and incredible shooting. Both players rank in the top 25 in 3-point attempts per game and they’re hitting 42.7 (Hield) and 41.1 percent (Haliburton). Even more fun, both players are reasonably close to 50/40/90 with Haliburton at 48.2/41.1/87.9 and Hield at 46.1/42.7/85.7.

Hield made history earlier this week with the fastest 3-pointer in NBA history and leads the NBA in total 3-point makes. Haliburton is doing his damage as a shooter while leading the NBA in assists and has already assisted Hield on 61 of his 137 made 3s this season. It’s tough to argue with any of these duos as a centerpiece of your offense, but for my money Haliburton and Hield hold the belt right now.
