Despite being down most of their starting lineup, the Indiana Pacers surprisingly came out on top 132-130 against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that was on an eight-game winning streak.

This was largely because of an incredible performance from forward Obi Toppin, who recorded 34 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. Toppin has largely been playing off the bench this season, averaging 10.3 points, 4.1 total rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.

Additionally, two of Indiana's All-Star players could be missing for their face-off against the Dallas Mavericks. Both guard Tyrese Haliburton and forward Pascal Siakam have been deemed questionable heading into the game.
