Toppin provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans. The four made threes were a season high for Toppin, who continues to be a force from Indiana's second unit. The fifth-year forward has scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 15.4 points, 6.4 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.4 steals in 22.3 minutes a contest over that stretch while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor and 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Toppin ended Friday's 121-107 victory over the 76ers with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes. Toppin provided a spark off the bench in small-ball lineups for the Pacers against a 76ers team that lost Joel Embiid (nose) in the first half, recording a season-high three steals and falling just one point shy of his season-high mark of 21 points set back during a Nov. 15 loss to the Heat. Toppin has been on a heater since the calendar turned to December, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game through his last six outings. The 26-year-old versatile forward is worth streaming in fantasy leagues while he's running hot from the second unit, but he would likely need an injury to a member of Indiana's frontcourt in order to gain more stable playing time.

Toppin finished Friday's 132-123 victory over the Bulls with 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block in 21 minutes. After an indifferent start to the season, Toppin has found some form of late, averaging 15.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks in 20.5 minutes per game over the past week. While the production has been above average, his playing time is actually in line with his season average, meaning this could simply be a case of Toppin going through a strong patch offensively.

Toppin returned to Sunday's game against the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter, Tony East of SI.com reports. Toppin was hit while dunking during the third quarter and sustained a left ankle sprain. However, he's back and should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

Toppin is questionable to return during Sunday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain. Toppin was hit while dunking during the third quarter, though he remained in the game briefly. If the big man is unable to return for the fourth quarter, Myles Turner and Jarace Walker should pick up the slack the rest of the way.
