Scores 21 points again
Middleton totaled 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 116-111 loss to the Bulls.
Analysis
Middleton has scored exactly 21 points in three straight games, and he finished Saturday's game as the Bucks' third-leading scorer behind Damian Lillard (29) and Brook Lopez (22). Middleton got off to a slow start in his first five games back from an ankle injury, but he has connected on at least three threes in each of his last four games. Over that span, Middleton has averaged 20.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists over 25.2 minutes per contest.

Available vs. Chicago
Middleton (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis
As expected, Middleton will be available Saturday and should handle a prominent role on offense, particularly with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) sidelined. Middleton is averaging 20.0 points, 6.0 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game across three starts this season.
27 December 2024
Likely to play Saturday
Middleton (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Analysis
Middleton is expected to make his ninth straight appearance Saturday despite continuing to deal with lingering issues from his bilateral ankle surgeries. In his most recent outing, Middleton logged 26 minutes, indicating he is nearing a return to a full workload.

Takeover not enough in loss
Middleton finished Thursday's 111-105 loss to the Nets with 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes.
Analysis
Middleton did everything in his power to avoid the loss, but his fourth-quarter heroics weren't enough to salvage a win for a shorthanded Bucks team that was missing Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) and Damian Lillard (illness). One silver lining is that Middleton continues to perform and has suited up for eight games in a row, including three straight starts. He's averaging 20.0 points per game when deployed in the first unit.

Good to go Thursday
Middleton (ankles) is available for Thursday's game against Brooklyn, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Middleton has appeared in seven consecutive regular-season outings since returning to game action after undergoing bilateral ankle surgeries in the offseason. The veteran forward has started in two consecutive outings with Damian Lillard (illness) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) sidelined, during which Middleton has accumulated 39 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds and two steals across 47 total minutes.

Will likely play Thursday
Middleton (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Middleton has appeared in seven consecutive contests since making his season debut against the Celtics on Dec. 6, including two straight starts. Both of those streaks should continue Thursday. Over his last three appearances, Middleton has averaged 17.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game.

Strong performance in win
Middleton (ankles) recorded 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 112-91 win over Chicago.
Analysis
It was another strong performance for Middleton, who stepped up with a season-high 21 points Monday in the absence of superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (illness). Middleton appears to be slowly rounding into form following offseason ankle surgeries that cost him 21 games to begin the year. He's now averaging an efficient 17.7 points, 5.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes over his past three games while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor during this period. The veteran forward would figure to take on additional usage if one or both of Antetokounmpo and Lillard remain out for Thursday's matchup with the Nets.

Good to go Monday
Middleton (ankles) will play Monday against the Bulls, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Middleton was initially listed as probable for this contest. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (calf, illness) both sitting this one out, Middleton could see a massive usage rate against the Bulls.
22 December 2024
Probable for Monday
Middleton (ankles) is probable for Monday's game against Chicago, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Middleton will likely suit up Monday as the club manages his playing time following his return to game action after he underwent bilateral ankle surgeries in July. The veteran swingman has appeared in six consecutive outings (one start) since making his return, during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 5.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 21.3 minutes per contest.
