Obi Toppin (calf) probable for Knicks Wednesday versus Nets
New York Knicks rookie power forward Obi Toppin (right calf strain) is probable to play Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Toppin has been sidelined since making his NBA debut in the first game of the season. He played 23.6 minutes and scored 9 points with 3 boards, an assist, 2 blocks, and 3 triples. The rookie's return could take some minutes away from Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, who both rank in the top-three in minutes played per game. Reggie Bullock (hip) is doubtful Wednesday while Alec Burks (ankle) and Frank Ntilikina (knee) remain sidelined.
Toppin scored 20.1 FanDuel points in his NBA debut. He has a salary of $4,000 on Wednesday's seven-game slate. The Nets rank 19th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the power forward position this season.
