Dishes 14 dimes
Topic supplied 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 14 assists and four rebounds in 39 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 loss to the Suns.
Analysis
Starting his second consecutive game to close the regular season, Topic recorded his second double-double in as many outings, though it came in a lopsided loss. He's unlikely to see much playing time in the playoffs, but Topic's potential is clear, and the 20-year-old's return to action late in the campaign is a major positive after being sidelined while undergoing treatment for testicular cancer.

Double-doubles in spot start
Topic accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, 11 assists and four steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
Topic made the first start of his career, recording his first double-double while also adding a career-high four steals. Although his role remains limited on most nights, the upside is clear. The Thunder has nothing to play for in Sunday regular-season finale, meaning Topic could once again find himself serving as the starting point guard.

Making first NBA start Friday
Topic is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Analysis
The Thunder are resting multiple starters and key rotational players for Friday's game, so Topic will start for the first time in his NBA career. He appeared in three of the Thunder's last four games and averaged 1.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 10.0 minutes per game over that span.
