Myles Turner Scores Just Five Points
Myles Turner struggled to find any offensive groove on Sunday in the 84-74 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of their series. Turner managed to make just two of six from the floor en route to just five points, but he did salvage his night with eight rebounds, two assists and he swatted away a single shot in 30 minutes of action. Turner put up 14.0 points and eight rebounds a night in three regular-season games against the Celtics this season, so we should expect the young big man to bounce back in Game 2.

Myles Turner Has A Productive Showing In Game 1
Myles Turner finished with a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. He added three steals and two blocks. Turner had a nice showing for DFS participants in Game 1, which also could be said for Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and Pascal Siakam. With that in mind, the 29-year-old wasn't as productive versus the Cavs during the regular season, at least on the glass, amassing 5.8 boards in four meetings. Still, Turner should get all the work he can handle in Game 2 on Tuesday, leaving little room for involvement from Thomas Bryant, who had two points, two rebounds, and one block in six minutes.

Myles Turner Ruled Out On Friday
Myles Turner (knee) won't play on Friday against the Magic. The Pacers are going to the playoffs. As a result, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Pascal Siakam (elbow), Aaron Nesmith (rest), and Andrew Nembhard (thumb) also won't suit up. But as far the middle is concerned, Thomas Bryant, averaging 12.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in seven starts this season, will likely get all the minutes he can handle on Friday night.

Myles Turner May Miss Another Game Wednesday
Myles Turner (illness) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old big man was a late scratch for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings due to an illness and has not yet fully recovered. Thomas Bryant moved into the starting five on Monday but had a fairly quiet evening with seven points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker provided frontcourt backup off the bench, making many fantasy managers happy by combining for 34 points. If Turner remains out on Wednesday, it will once again take a collective effort to make up for his absence.

Myles Turner Sidelined On Monday
Myles Turner (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Going into Monday's contest, he had only sat out once in the last 20 games. However, Turner was added late to the Pacers' injury report due to an illness that will keep him out of the lineup. With the big man out of action this evening, the team's frontcourt will likely rely on Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin to soak up some minutes.
