Obi Toppin provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (9-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Game 4 against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Toppin has been a solid reserve for Indiana all season, but he hadn’t been as productive in the postseason until Game 4. This was the second-highest scoring playoff game of Toppin’s career, narrowly finishing behind his 21-point game against the Bucks last season. Toppin will continue to play a large role off the bench, but the odds of him reaching 20 points again are slim.
Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin and Myles Turner will start against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Obi Toppin shot 9-of-18 from the field in Sunday’s win over the Nuggets, scoring 22 points with four rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in 26 minutes.
Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Obi Toppin and Myles Turner will start Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.
The Pacers are without Pascal Siakam, who will miss Sunday’s game with an elbow injury. Obi Toppin will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup and should be streamed wherever he’s available. That’s the lone change to Indiana’s starting five.
