Myles Turner swats 8 shots in easy Pacers' win
Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner scored 6 points (2-of-9 field goals, 2-of-4 3-pointers) with 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 8 blocks, and 1 turnover in 27.5 minutes of a 119-80 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Turner set a new career-high in rejections and pulled down 7-plus boards for a fourth consecutive game. The downside is that he missed all of his field goal attempts from inside the arc. He's been held to single-digit scoring in three straight games. The Pacers will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
Turner scored 50.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday, his second-highest output of the season. numberFire's models project him for 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 0.4 triples per game over the rest of the season.
