Turner finished Saturday's win with his eighth double-double of the season, and he's provided 3rd-round value in 9-cat formats over the past three weeks. During this period, the Pacers center has averaged 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 2.2 3-pointers per game. That production is two rounds better than Turner's season-long value, and he's on his way to cracking the top 50 in 9-cat formats.
Mathurin is back after serving a one-game suspension on Thursday. He'll start with Aaron Nesmith heading to the bench in his second game back from a sprained ankle. Mathurin has performed well as a starter, so he may be able to hold onto the job even after Nesmith can take on a full workload.
Turner made a huge impact from beyond the arc in this game and tied his career-high for 3-pointers. In fact, this was just the 12th time in NBA history that a player hit eight 3-pointers and swatted three blocks in a game. That versatility has made Turner such a unique fantasy player for most of his career, but he has put more of an emphasis on his deep-range shooting this year. He is averaging a career-high 2.1 threes per game, which has contributed to him ranking just outside the top-50 in 9-cat leagues.
Nesmith will get the starting nod in his first game in about 10 weeks. He'll fill in for Bennedict Mathurin, who is serving a one-game suspension. Haliburton is also back after a one-game absence, which will push Ben Sheppard to the bench.
On Sunday, Turner recorded his seventh double-double of the season, helping lead Indiana past the team that boasted the NBA's best record. The Pacers' center has provided 3rd-round value in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks, two rounds higher than his season-long production. Turner and the Pacers play three games during Week 12, beginning with a rematch with the Cavaliers on Tuesday in Indianapolis.
