Posts 17 points in defeat
Middleton recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.
Analyse
Middleton logged his second-best scoring total of the season during the loss, but consistency has been hard to come by for the 34-year-old veteran. After over a decade with the Bucks, Middleton's production has dropped off considerably during his first full season with the Wizards, averaging just 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 27 games.

Non-factor in loss
Middleton finished Friday's 128-107 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes.
Analyse
Middleton continues to be used sparingly despite his starting role, having now logged no more than 23 minutes in each of his past nine games. Couple that with the fact that he is typically rested whenever the team has a back-to-back set, and we have ourselves a streaming consideration, and nothing more. If he is traded, Middleton's role could change, although given his limitations, that feels unlikely.

Cleared from injury report
Middleton (knee) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Analyse
Middleton sat out Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, which was the second half of a back-to-back for the Wizards. The veteran forward has averaged 8.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.5 minutes per game over his last nine outings, shooting a miserable 32.8 percent from the floor.
