Myles Turner Stands Out In Game 1 Against Boston With Hot Start
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner contributed all over the floor in Tuesday's Game 1 against Boston, registering 23 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in a 133-128 overtime loss. Indiana's big man got off to a red-hot start in the contest and racked up 18 points in the first half with 7-for-10 shooting. His scoring pace was much slower after the break, but it was still an impressive outing from Turner, who finished with 9-for-13 shooting, hitting three of his four attempts from deep. Indiana will hope to see more of the same from Turner in Game 2.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner had 17 points in Sunday's win over the Knicks to help his team advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. While Tyrese Haliburton led the way by scoring 26 points, Turner stepped up in a big way on the defensive end by supplying four blocks. At any rate, the 28-year-old played well during this series. However, DFS managers aren't as encouraged with Indiana's upcoming series versus the Celtics, with Turner averaging 14 points and seven rebounds in five meetings with Boston during the regular season. But with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to miss at least a few more games, Turner's production could improve. .

Yet, he scored 21 points in Game 3 to help his squad win their first game of the Conference semifinals. The Knicks were without OG Anunoby (hamstring), which was a crushing blow for the defense. However, New York will likely adjust heading into Game 4 on Sunday, so Turner could have trouble replicating his performance from Friday night.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner had a game-high 29 points in Sunday's playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. He was locked in from deep, going 7-for-9, adding nine rebounds and three blocks. The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), and with Bobby Portis getting ejected, Turner took advantage to finish with one of the best games of his career.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Friday's clash with the Thunder. He missed Wednesday's action against Brooklyn with a sprained finger but is ready to get back to work on Friday in a favorable matchup. Turner notched 24 points in this season's first meeting with OKC, and it's a clash against a team that has the fourth-lowest rebounding rate in the league. Turner's return puts Jalen Smith back into the second unit.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) is questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 28-year-old missed Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets with a sprained finger and could potentially sit out a second game. The Pacers currently hold the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and they hope to have their starting center back in the lineup, as every game holds vital importance as the season winds down. If Turner is unable to suit up, Jalen Smith, who had eight points with nine boards, two blocks, and a steal on Wednesday, would likely earn another start. At the same time, Obi Toppin, who had 14 points, eight rebounds, three swats, and a steal, may also benefit if Turner remains sidelined.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Nets. He sprained a finger in Monday's matchup against Brooklyn, and Indiana has downgraded him from questionable to out. Jalen Smith took over the center role in the first unit following Turner's injury on Monday and figures to play a pivotal role again in Wednesday's rematch. Brooklyn is a vulnerable team against centers, and Smith also didn't have any trouble filling up the box score against them on Monday, finishing with 17 points and 10 rebounds in 16 minutes. Isaiah Jackson will also feature more in the rotation without Turner.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. After spraining his right finger in Monday's blowout win over Brooklyn, the All-Star big man's status remains uncertain after he reportedly visited a hand specialist on Tuesday. Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson are the next men up on Indiana's depth chart at center, with one of the two likely joining the Pacers' starting five if Turner is unavailable on Wednesday. In 18 games without Turner since 2022-23, Smith is averaging 12.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 three-pointers and would likely be the preferred fantasy streamer of the two big men despite a tough matchup against rim protector Nicolas Claxton.
