Productive off bench Friday

Toppin’s fantasy value isn’t going to be very high as long as he continues to play off the bench, but the veteran is more than capable of producing solid stat lines in this role from time to time. It’s worth noting Toppin has scored in double digits in three of his last six games while playing more than 20 minutes just once over that stretch. He might carry value as a potential streaming option or waiver target on deep formats, but even if he’s playing well at times, his upside shouldn’t be very high due to the nature of his role in the rotation.

Scores 27 points in win

Siakam was listed as questionable for Friday’s game due to an elbow injury, and while he was reportedly deemed as sore and not 100 percent healthy to play, the injury didn’t appear to bother him in this matchup. Siakam has been playing at a high level since the calendar flipped to March, scoring at least 20 points five times across seven contests and averaging 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in that stretch.

Extends solid stretch of play

Haliburton recorded exactly 14 points and 10 assists for the second game in a row, and the star floor general has been turning things around after several ups and downs in the early stages of the season. Haliburton has flipped a switch since the beginning of the All-Star break and this was his eighth consecutive double-double, a span in which he’s racking up 21.6 points and 11.9 assists per contest.
