The Indiana Pacers hold a commanding 2-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup, and all eyes are on star center Myles Turner as Game 3 approaches on Friday, May 9th at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Will he be suiting up? The good news for Pacers fans is that, as of now, Turner is not listed on the team's injury report and is expected to play. Turner, a key component of the Pacers' success, has consistently performed at a high level throughout the season and playoffs. He played a significant role in the Pacers' first-round victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, showcasing his versatility and defensive prowess. In the regular season, Turner averaged an impressive 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.8 steals per game in 72 appearances. His playoff performances have been equally impactful. Against the Bucks, Turner's contributions were vital. In Game 1, he tallied 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks. Game 2 saw him contribute 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Game 3 saw him post 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, while game 4 and 5 resulted in 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and 21 points and 9 rebounds respectively. His performances against the Cavaliers in the first two games of the current series have also been noteworthy, with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in Game 1, and 23 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 5 blocks in Game 2. Throughout his career against Cleveland, he boasts averages of 13.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in 28 games. The Pacers will need Turner's presence against a Cavaliers team desperate for a win. Cleveland faces a significant challenge with the absence of Darius Garland in Game 3, adding to the pressure. De'Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley are listed as questionable for the Cavaliers, creating further uncertainty. Meanwhile, the Pacers have Isaiah Jackson sidelined with a torn ACL. The Pacers' 2-0 series lead puts them in a strong position, but the Cavaliers are undoubtedly a formidable opponent capable of making a comeback. Game 3 promises to be a crucial clash, with Turner's participation a major factor in determining the outcome. **Game Details:** * **Game:** Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers, Game 3 * **Date:** Friday, May 9th * **Time:** 7:30 pm EST * **Where to Watch:** ESPN, NBA League Pass, FuboTV
