Toppin racked up 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors. The Pacers have been decimated by injuries in the frontcourt in recent games, but Toppin continues to play off the bench since he fits extremely well in that role. The former Dayton standout has scored in double digits six times this season, but he's posted his two best scoring outputs of the campaign in his last three games. His current season-high scoring mark is the 21-point effort he delivered in a loss to the Heat on Nov. 15. Even though Toppin is not expected to move to the starting lineup any time soon, he should enjoy an uptick in his fantasy upside as long as Indiana remains depleted in the frontcourt.

Toppin racked up 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors. The Pacers have been decimated by injuries in the frontcourt in recent games, but Toppin continues to play off the bench since he fits extremely well in that role. The former Dayton standout has scored in double digits six times this season, but he's posted his two best scoring outputs of the campaign in his last three games. His current season-high scoring mark is the 21-point effort he delivered in a loss to the Heat on Nov. 15.

Toppin produced 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 21 minutes during Friday's 124-111 loss to the Heat. Toppin's 21 points Friday were his most of the 2024-25 regular season and the first time he eclipised the 20-point mark since April 9 against the Raptors (23) last season. Toppin failed to reach double-digit scoring in his last three outings, but perhaps Friday's outing will help kick start his involvement in the Pacers' offense.

Toppin recorded a team-high-tying pair of blocks in just south of 20 minutes, the first time this year he has recorded more than one block. Look for Toppin to see his role continue to expand as he works his way back to full strength.

He averages 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks over 21.3 minutes this season, but with Aaron Nesmith (ankle) potentially out for an extended period of time, it is likely Toppin will see an increase in usage until Nesmith returns.
