Analysis:

Turner has been moved to the starting lineup as Marcus Smart heads to the bench on Friday night. Avery Bradley has been the regular starter at shooting guard, but will likely miss the remainder of the first-round series after suffering a hamstring injury. Turner is averaging 11.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 34 minutes per game in the first two postseason matchups.
