Evan Turner

Evan Turner starting with Maurice Harkless (quad) sidelined for Portland

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner will start for Maurice Harkless on Saturday, reports TrailBlazers.com's Casey Holdahl.

What It Means:

Harkless was originally questionable, but he's been ruled out prior to tip. That leaves Turner as the starter with Shabazz Napier also likely to see more time in the Blazers' three-guard lineups.

Turner entered tonight projected for 21.5 minutes and 14.8 FanDuel points, but in a starting role he could exceed those expectations at his $3,500 price tag.
