NBA Daily Notes: Paul George - MVP? ; Top fantasy picks for December 23rd

C 2 - Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers):

The Indiana Pacers have been a really great team this season and are currently in the 4th spot with a 21-12 record in the Eastern Conference. They have won 8 of their last 10 games, the most recent one against the Brooklyn Nets, 114-106.

They consolidated their spot really well, even with a knee injury sidelining Victor Oladipo through the most part of that run. One of the players they could count on showing up was Myles Turner.

Myles Turner has been playing some really good basketball of late

Turner has been playing exceptionally well this season, averaging just under 13 points per game this season but has improved in the month of December, scoring more than 15 points per game and grabbing 10 rebounds on an average as well. He is an elite shot blocker and rim protector and has 3.5 blocks per game in the month of December.

In the game against the Nets, Turner scored an efficient 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as well. He had 3 assists and a steal while blocking a massive 5 shots. The Pacers would like to get another bunch of wins going and will look to Turner to play like he has of late against a weak Washington Wizards, who have problems with their front court.

Alternate pick: Deandre Ayton (Phoenix Suns)
