Scores 11 off bench Toppin amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 132-115 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Toppin took advantage of the fact that the Knicks lost by a sizable margin to log some extra minutes, and he embraced the opportunity while putting up his first double-digit scoring effort of the month. It's worth noting Toppin's role off the bench is not going to change any time soon, but he's been playing well of late and has scored 10 or more points in four of his last eight games.

Efficient effort off bench Toppin notched 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 116-96 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Toppin logged just 19 minutes in the win, but he made the most of his limited playing time by recording 14 points on only eight shot attempts. Efficiency has been a theme for the second-year forward of late, as he is shooting 61.4 percent from the field over his past eight games. However, he is averaging only 15.3 minutes over that span, significantly limiting his fantasy appeal.

Scores 18 in blowout loss Toppin registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 loss to Miami.

Impact The Heat had the game sewn up by the end of the third quarter, so Toppin was able to take advantage of some garbage-time run to post his highest scoring total since Jan. 2. For the most part, Toppin can be ignored in season-long fantasy leagues, but he's shown flashes of productivity when given the opportunity. In the 11 games in which he's played at least 20 minutes this season, Toppin is averaging 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals (24.8 MPG).
