Turner will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the 76ers, Brian Robb of CelticsHub.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Brad Stevens awarded the start at small forward to Jae Crowder, who Turner had been competing with for that role throughout camp. The lack of starting role shouldn't provide a major hindrance to Turner's fantasy value, as he's expected to be Stevens' top option off the bench and see plenty of minutes at three different spots in the lineup. Turner's ability to contribute in multiple categories probably makes him a more interesting fantasy commodity than Crowder.
