Pacers' Myles Turner: Dominates inside with double-double
Rotowire
Turner posted 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 122-112 victory over the Celtics.
Turner was clearly the better player in the paint during Monday's win, as the Celtics continued to struggle without Kristaps Porzingis (calf) in the lineup. The big man provides a veteran presence on one of the league's youngest rosters, and although double-double numbers have eluded him frequently this season, he's averaging over two blocked shots per game, padding his solid stat lines.
Turner notched 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 victory over the Heat.
Turner struggled with a 5-for-14 shooting line against Miami in his previous game, but he was much more efficient Saturday in a contest during which the Pacers combined to shoot a ridiculous 65.9 percent from the field as a team. The big man added a team-high 10 boards in the win to finish with his fourth double-double of the campaign. With two blocks Saturday, Turner has collected at least one swat in 12 straight contests, and he ranks sixth in the league with 2.1 blocks per game.

Rotowire
Turner ended Friday's 136-113 victory over Detroit with 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and one steal over 27 minutes.
Turner posted his first double-double since Nov. 6, and the versatile big man continues to make his presence felt on both ends of the court. A steady scoring force who can also make an impact defensively as an elite shot blocker, Turner is averaging 16.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game over his last six contests. He has recorded multiple blocks five times in that stretch.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Close to double-double in win
Rotowire
Turner ended Tuesday's 157-152 win over the Hawks with 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 25 minutes.
Turner didn't have many touches on offense despite the fact the Pacers scored a whopping 157 points, but he was efficient when called upon duty while also doing what he does best -- blocking shots at will. Turner, who also finished one rebound shy of recording his fourth double-double of the season, has now swatted at least three shots in three of his last four contests.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Scores 17 points in win, fouls out
Rotowire
Turner supplied 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 19 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 132-126 win over the 76ers.
Tyrese Haliburton and Obi Toppin carried the Pacers to victory in this game, so the fact that Turner struggled to stay on the court wasn't a factor as Indiana pulled the upset against Philadelphia. However, his subpar performance was because he struggled with foul trouble all game long and played just 19 minutes. Turner had to deal with Joel Embiid, however, so this wasn't an easy task, but either way, he needs to get better. His next chance to play will come against the Magic on Sunday.

Rotowire
Turner had 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three blocks over 29 minutes in Sunday's 137-126 loss to the 76ers.
Turner was one of two Pacers to score 20-plus points, with Tyrese Haliburton leading the way with 25 points. Turner entered Sunday's game tied for 14th for blocks per game (1.7) and his performance was the third time he's recorded three blocks or more in a game this season. He's scored at least 15 points in seven of 10 games and will continue to get good looks when he shares the floor with Haliburton.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Hits for 22 in big win
Rotowire
Turner amassed 22 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Jazz.
The 27-year-old center did most of his damage in the first half, dropping 20 of his points before the break to help soften up Utah's defense for a barrage of three-pointers from his teammates. Turner has scored at least 20 points in four of eight games to begin the season, and his 8.5 boards a game would be a career high if he can maintain that pace.

He's now scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances while also securing at least nine rebounds in those three matchups.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Puts up 20 points and 11 boards
Rotowire
Turner closed with 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to the Bulls.
Turner was impressive on both ends of the court, racking up his second straight double-double while notching multiple blocks for the third game in a row. The big man, who also drained multiple threes for the first time in 2023-24 on Monday, is averaging 17.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game after three contests, showing he can have solid two-way numbers as a reliable offensive threat in an offense led by Tyrese Haliburton.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Notches first double-double of year
Rotowire
Turner recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Tuner hasn't cracked 30 minutes in either of his first two games of the season, though he was benched down the stretch in the regular-season opener with the Pacers holding a big lead over the Wizards. The talented big man was efficient from the floor overall but hit just one of his five threes on the evening.
Pacers' Myles Turner: Scores 13, swats three shots
Rotowire
Turner ended with 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, a steal and three blocks across 16 minutes in Monday's 116-112 preseason win over the Hawks.
Turner was efficient from the field and active as a defensive presence, which is the value he'll ultimately bring once the regular season rolls around. As one of the best long-range shooters -- among big men -- in the league, Turner possesses strong upside in most formats. He can fill the stat sheet on any given night even if he's a below-average rebounder for his size.
