Cleared to play
Toppin (calf) will play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Starreports.
Impact
Toppin will play through a second straight questionable tag and has yet to miss a game this season. With Pascal Siakam making his debut Friday, Toppin's minutes could trend down going forward.

Iffy against Portland
Toppin (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact
Toppin has yet to miss a game this season but could sit out the second leg of Indiana's back-to-back Friday due to a left calf strain. If Toppin is unable to suit, Jalen Smith and Jarace Walker are candidates to receive increased playing time.

ROTOWIRE
Available to play
Toppin is available to play in Thursday's game against the Kings, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact
Toppin was unable to practice Wednesday and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. The Pacers are going to be very shorthanded Thursday, so Toppin could see a healthy amount of minutes if he's able to power through his calf issue.

Officially questionable
Toppin (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Kings.
Impact
Toppin missed Wednesday's practice with a left calf strain and is at risk of missing Thursday's contest. Considering the game is the opening leg of a back-to-back, the Pacers could exercise caution with Toppin's injury. If that's the case, Jalen Smith and Jarace Walker could see more action.

Dealing with calf issue
Toppin didn't practice Wednesday due to a calf issue, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact
The extent of the injury remains unclear, but Toppin will likely wind up on the Pacers' injury report for Thursday's game in Sacramento, which should drop Wednesday night. Despite being moved to the bench at the end of December, Toppin has still played well in a reserve role, averaging 10.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22.3 minutes over his last 12 appearances (one start).

Bumped to second unit
Toppin will move to the bench for Friday's game against Atlanta, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact
This is an expected move for the Pacers with Jalen Smith (back) returning from a two-game absence. Toppin has fared well in January, posting averages of 12.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.

ROTOWIRE
Will start sans Smith
Toppin will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact
Jalen Smith (back) was a late scratch, so Toppin will start at power forward. Toppin has started 27 games this season, averaging 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 23.7 minutes.

All-around game off bench
Toppin totaled 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 142-130 win over the Bucks.
Impact
Toppin put forth a balanced showing off the bench, leading the team in rebounds while ending as one of seven players with a double-digit point total in a winning effort. Toppin has hauled in eight or more rebounds in four games this year, surpassing the 15-point mark on 10 occasions.

Joins second unit
Toppin will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against Houston.
Impact
Toppin exits the starting lineup for just the second time this season, giving way to Jalen Smith. Smith ramping up is a central factor in Toppin heading to the second unit, but Indiana could also be seeking a different look defensively, as Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith join Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner to round out Tuesday's lineup.

Top scorer in loss
Toppin amassed 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 116-103 loss to Memphis.
Impact
Toppin led all Pacers in scoring and shots made while hauling in a handful of rebounds and notching a pair of steals defensively in a losing effort. Toppin has surpassed the 20-point mark on five occasions this year, doing so for the first time since scoring 20 points Dec. 2 against Miami. Toppin has hauled in five or more rebounds in four contests.

Solid in lopsided defeat
Toppin logged 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 151-127 loss to the Clippers.
Impact
Toppin was efficient and balanced in his scoring Tuesday, albeit in the context of a blowout and crutched by playing in Indiana's league-best offense. Nonetheless, Toppin has failed to hit double-digit scoring in three of his last five games, so he remains one of the less flashy components of the Pacers' rotation despite his athleticism.

Limited impact Saturday
Toppin notched 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-109 loss to the Lakers.
Impact
Toppin scored in double digits for the fifth straight game despite the fact he wasn't particularly efficient with his shot, and as has been the case in most contests, he didn't do much in other categories. He remains a decent fantasy asset across all categories due to his starting role and his offensive contributions, but his lack of productivity in other areas certainly limit his upside.

Officially cleared
Toppin (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup against the Celtics.
Impact
As expected, Toppin has been upgraded from questionable to available and will play in the In-Season Tournament quarterfinal matchup versus Boston. Over his last eight appearances, Toppin has averaged 17.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.3 minutes per game.

Trending toward playing
Coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Toppin (ankle) to play in Monday's game against the Celtics, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact
Toppin tweaked his ankle during Saturday's win over Miami and was initially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup. He's trending more toward probable at this point, but he likely won't be officially cleared until closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Questionable to play Monday
Toppin is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Impact
Toppin is battling a left ankle sprain. He logged a full workload in Saturday's win over Miami, posting 22 points in 35 minutes, but coach Rick Carlisle mentioned after the victory that Toppin had tweaked his ankle in-game. His status for Monday is uncertain, with Aaron Nesmith and Bruce Brown being candidates for huge workloads if Toppin can't suit up.

Drops 22 efficient points Saturday
Toppin ended Saturday's 144-129 victory over the Heat with 22 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact
Toppin took the second-fewest shots among Indiana's starters, but he nonetheless finished as the team's second-leading scorer thanks to an ultra-efficient 7-for-8 shooting line. That included a 4-for-5 mark from three-point range, and Toppin has now drained at least three triples in three of his past four games after failing to reach that mark in any of his first 14 contests this season. Perhaps most impressively (and unexpectedly), Toppin tallied four blocked shots Saturday -- he had collected just six swats over 17 games coming into the contest.

Hits for 25 in Thursday's loss
Toppin closed with 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 loss to the Heat.
Impact
The 25-year-old forward is emerging as a real asset for the Pacers on the offensive end of the court, although Toppin's defensive limitations still cost him court time on occasion. He's scored at least 15 points in five straight games during which he's played at least 24 minutes, although he's fallen short of that mark in two other contests during that seven-game stretch. With Jalen Smith (knee/heel) sidelined and lacking a firm timeline for his return, Toppin's role in the frontcourt seems secure in the short term.

Productive on scoreboard in start
Toppin ended with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 132-131 loss to the Raptors.
Impact
Toppin rejoined the starting lineup Wednesday with Aaron Nesmith (wrist) unavailable. He scored in double figures for the fourth time in the past five games and was also productive on the defensive side of the ball with two steals. It's unclear whether Toppin or Nesmith will retain a starting role once Nesmith is back in action, but Toppin was productive in Tuesday's bench appearance and has averaged 16.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Gets starting nod
Toppin is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact
Toppin will replace Aaron Nesmith (wrist) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Toppin is averaging 10.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 22.1 minutes across his previous 12 starting appearances this season.
