Turner finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 victory over the Bucks.
With Thursday in the books, Turner has now been on a five-game slump, averaging just 8.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 35.0 minutes per game while shooting only 39.0 percent from the field. Though the occasional slump shouldn't be too much of a cause for concern for the 20-year-old big man, the Pacers would certainly like improved performance from Turner as they jostle for playoff seeding this late in the year. Possibly as a result of his subpar play, he only saw 25 minutes of action, nearly splitting time with reserve center Kevin Seraphin off the bench, who totaled 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes. Owners in year-long probably shouldn't panic and cut ties with Turner, but DFS players may want to take note of his decreased level of play over the past handful of outings.
