Pacers' Myles Turner scores 17 with eight boards, three blocks
Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner started the second half of Thursday's loss to the Toronto Raptors and didn't disappoint, scoring 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting with eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 31 minutes.
What It Means:
With the Pacers trailing 2-1 in the series, a lineup change could be in the cards, and it's possible Turner could enter the starting lineup for Game 4 on Saturday. The Lavoy Allen (zero points, two boards) experiment hasn't worked, so Turner could be looking a lot of minutes for the rest of the series. He could be a solid DFS target if Indiana coach Frank Vogel gives him the nod in the first unit.
Turner, a rookie, posted the 72nd-best nERD this season at 0.8. He averaged 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game while posting a 53.1 True Shooting Percentage.
