Obi Toppin Fantasy Stats

Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports that Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (foot) will undergo surgery to place a screw in his right foot on Monday. Toppin is likely to be sidelined for a considerable amount of time recovering from the surgery, and Pacers Head Coach Rick Carlisle told the media not to ask about Toppin's status until Feb. 1. The 27-year-old is also dealing with a right hamstring strain he sustained against the Timberwolves on Sunday. He was in good form before his injuries, posting 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across three contests. With Toppin out for the foreseeable future, Jarace Walker will now likely continue to start and deserves fantasy consideration.

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for at least one month. He suffered a right hamstring strain during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Early in the season, Toppin has averaged over 27 minutes per game and was in good form before his injury, posting 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Jarace Walker will now likely receive a boost in playing time and deserves fantasy consideration. Other frontcourt players, such as Tony Bradley and Isaiah Jackson, may also see more minutes on the floor.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Obi Toppin scored 20 points off the bench in 23 minutes in his team's Game 6 win, going 6-for-12 from the field and 4-for-7 from long range. He added six rebounds and two steals, and he continues to be a strong contributor off the bench for Indiana. In the NBA Finals, he is averaging 12.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 2.2 three-pointers in 24.3 minutes per game. Toppin has at least 12 points in each of the last three games in the series and usually chips in a few rebounds and defensive numbers as well. He'll look to help the Pacers win the NBA Championship with another big game in Game 7 on Sunday night.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Obi Toppin played an extremely important role off the bench for his squad in their Game 1 win over the Thunder in Oklahoma City. He knocked down five three-pointers and finished with 17 points, five rebounds, and two assists in his 25 minutes. He finished with the second-most points on the team and played the most minutes of any player in Indiana's second unit. Toppin hit multiple key three-pointers to keep the Pacers within striking distance, and ultimately, his team stormed back and took the lead on Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning jumper. Toppin is set to be a key piece off the bench for Indiana in the NBA Finals, and he'll look to help his team take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series on Sunday night.

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been out for a pair of games with a left ankle sprain, and the team considers him day-to-day. Jarace Walker has impressed in an expanded role lately and should continue to get extra work if Toppin remains out. The 21-year-old has bagged 13.0 points and 3.3 rebounds across the past three games.

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) will not play against Boston on Friday. Toppin injured his left ankle in Thursday's 120-114 loss to Oklahoma City and will miss at least one game because of the injury. Jarace Walker should fill his minutes off the bench. From a fantasy perspective, Walker can be a bit of a hit-and-miss, but he made a positive impact on Thursday. The 21-year-old recorded 12 points, five rebounds, and one block in 15 minutes. Boston allows the ninth-most bench points in the league, so we could see a similar effort from Walker on Friday.

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Orlando. He has been listed as questionable for the contest with a left ankle sprain. Jarace Walker saw extended minutes on Sunday versus the Knicks and will likely play a bigger role again on Wednesday night if Toppin remains unavailable. Walker was a headache for the Magic last week when he produced 17 points, but he's managed a total of 11 points across two games since then, making him an unreliable fantasy piece.

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Yikes, the injury list continues to grow for the Pacers early in the season. Toppin will join the group of inactive players due to a left ankle sprain. Jarace Walker figures to see additional playing time off the bench with the Pacers limited on options. Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner should play heavy minutes with the Pacers shorthanded on depth. Walker isn't a great fantasy option, but could be worth a look while Toppin is out.

According to Tony East of SI.com, the Indiana Pacers have submitted a qualifying offer to forward Obi Toppin, making him a restricted free agent. Toppin is coming off a solid postseason, during which he suited up for 17 games and averaged 20.2 minutes, 10.9 points, and 4.4 rebounds, helping the Pacers reach the Eastern Conference Finals. During the regular season, he was a part of one of the best benches, as Indiana was the highest-scoring second unit in the league.

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin had a prolific outing in Game 2 against the Knicks on Wednesday, finishing a 130-121 loss with 20 points. He scored a point per minute off the bench, shooting 7-for-10 from the field with a 2-for-4 effort from behind the arc. Toppin also notched three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. The Pacers are struggling in the series, but Toppin has enjoyed the battle against his former team. He has shot a very impressive 70.6 percent through the first two games, averaging 16.0 points with 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Game 3 gives Toppin a chance to make it three 20-point efforts in four games.
