Trail Blazers' Evan Turner: Productive outing off bench Thursday

Turner turned in 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes in Thursday's 110-95 win over the Knicks.

Analysis:

The seven-year veteran enjoyed his most productive outing since returning on March 18 from an extended absence due to a hand injury. It was Turner's first double-digit scoring effort since the Feb. 7 game in which he'd suffered the injury, as well has his highest allotment of playing time in the four games since return. Given his increased minutes load and solid production Thursday, a return to the starting five may not be far behind.
