Pacers' Myles Turner: Posts another double-double in win
Rotowire
Turner ended Wednesday's 118-111 win over the Magic with 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.
Turner was once again a strong presence in the paint Wednesday, leading the Pacers in blocks while concluding second on the team in scoring and rebounds in a double-double performance. Turner has turned his game up a notch as of late, recording his second straight outing with at least 15 points and 10 rebounds. Turner now has two double-doubles on the season and has surpassed the double-digit point total in all seven appearances.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Explodes for huge double-double
Rotowire
Turner provided 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 134-127 win over the Mavericks.
Turner turned in an excellent performance. He dominated inside and got the job done on the perimeter, drilling a season-high five three-pointers in the win. Turner had yet to post a double-digit rebound total coming into Monday's game, so the double-double was certainly a step in the right direction. Turner can post high-scoring totals when he gets opportunities beyond the arc, but 30 points is a rarity. He met that threshold only twice during the 2023-24 season.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Inefficient in return
Rotowire
Turner recorded 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Friday's 125-118 loss to New Orleans.
Turner returned to action Friday after missing Indiana's previous contest with an ankle injury. Through his first five appearances this season, the 28-year-old big man is struggling with his efficiency, posting 46.4/33.3/63.2 shooting splits. However, Turner's 1.8 blocks per contest are a valuable asset for fantasy managers.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Questionable against New Orleans
Rotowire
Turned (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
Turner was also deemed questionable for Indiana's previous contest before ultimately being ruled out with a left ankle sprain. If Turner is unable to suit up against New Orleans, Isaiah Jackson should draw another start.
Turner (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game versus Boston, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Turner was a weapon against Boston in last year's postseason, but Isaiah Jackson will be tasked with enlarged duties Wednesday. Turner's injury marks a significant absence for a Pacers squad still looking to settle into rhythm on both ends.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Four steals in loss
Rotowire
Turner totaled 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four steals, four rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 overtime loss to the 76ers.
The big man stuffed the stat sheet while putting on a great defensive showing against Andre Drummond and the 76ers. Turner struggled from three-point range across 23 minutes in Friday's loss to New York, though he has already shown through three appearances that he is much more comfortable shooting from beyond the arc at a high volume. The 28-year-old had his least efficient game Sunday while struggling on the glass, but his defensive upside and three-point shooting help keep him as a relevant option in all fantasy formats.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Swats three shots Friday
Rotowire
Turner accumulated 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 23 minutes during Friday's 123-98 loss to the Knicks.
The Pacers struggled offensively throughout the entire game, but the big man found a way to make an impact on both ends of the court with his three blocks and seven rebounds. Turner has posted a combined 33 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and seven blocks over his first two appearances this season, and there's a strong case to highlight him as the Pacers' most consistent player over the team's first two outings.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Scores 20, grabs nine boards
Rotowire
Turner logged 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 victory over the Pistons.
Turner enjoyed a strong start to the season and finished just one board away from recording a double-double, a strong output for a big man who's always been criticized for being a below-average rebounder for his size. Turner figures to remain a key player for the Pacers on offense and seems to have picked things up right where he left them off in 2023-24, where he averaged 17.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers made across 77 regular-season appearances.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Lands team-high 18 points
Rotowire
Turner totaled 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes during Thursday's preseason win over the Hornets.
Turner did a bit of everything in the win, which should translate into the regular season. His fantasy floor remains relatively safe due to his elite block production. However, underwhelming rebound numbers and a tendency to be passive on the offensive end can limit his upside. With that said, he should be targeted in the middle rounds of drafts, often going off the board in the 50s, along with a host of other center-eligible players.

Turner finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block across 16 minutes in Thursday's 129-117 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Turner made his preseason debut after missing Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a knee problem. Indiana will try to be cautious in case the knee bothers Turner again, but if that's not the case, he's penciled in as the starting center for Opening Night against the Pistons on Oct. 23.

Rotowire
Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason opener versus the Hawks.
Turner was a last-minute addition to the injury report and will sit for the club's preseason matchup, though he is expected to be back by Opening Night. The big man's absence will likely allow the Pacers to get an extended look at Jarace Walker and James Wiseman with Isaiah Jackson (hamstring) out.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Battles through back issue
Rotowire
Turner left Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics due to a back injury but was cleared to return for the second half, Tony East of SI.com reports. He finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes in the loss.
Turner's performance indicates that his back injury slowed him down, as he wasn't much of a factor in the 105-102 loss. The Texas product also contended with foul trouble, which limited his ability to be aggressive. Turner will now shift his attention to the offseason after his squad was swept by Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Turner was one of the players who needed to step up offensively in Game 3, and he delivered another solid stat line, but the Pacers crumbled down the stretch and had to settle for another loss. Turner posted his second double-double of the series, and he's scored at least 15 points in all but one of his last six playoff contests.

Rotowire
Turner had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Turner had issues with foul trouble all game long, and that was the main reason why he was limited to just 24 minutes -- his second-lowest mark in the current playoff run. Turner also snapped his streak of games with double-digit points at six, and he'll aim to bounce back in Game 3 on Saturday.

Turner was responsible for four of the Pacers' 12 three-point makes Tuesday, his most in the postseason since Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Bucks. He extended his streak of two-plus blocks to three games but committed a team-high four turnovers. Turner is averaging 17.6 points on 49.3 percent shooting (including 45.3 percent on 3.8 3PA/G), 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game in the postseason.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Double-doubles, swats three shots
Rotowire
Turner notched 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 111-106 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Turner made his presence felt on both ends of the court Friday, tying his playoff-high mark in blocks while recording his first double-double of the current playoff run. The Pacers need Turner to continue making a two-way impact if they're going to turn things around in the series, especially considering how depleted the Knicks are in the frontcourt with Julius Randle (shoulder), Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) all out for Game 4.
