Khris Middleton Probable Heading Into Thursday Night
Khris Middleton (ankle) is listed as probable heading into Thursday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Middleton's been recovering from ankle surgery and has been able to play in each of Milwaukee's last 11 games, including the NBA Cup championship. He's averaged 13.8 PPG on the season, though that's picked up over his last five games as he's scored 18+ in four of his last five. Against a weak Brooklyn team on the second leg of a back-to-back there's potential for Middleton to do damage early. Fantasy managers should certainly ensure to have the 33-year-old in their starting lineups though they should be cognizant of the potential for the game to turn into a blowout, thus reducing any fourth quarter minutes Middleton could receive.

Khris Middleton Out Again Wednesday

He last played on March 27 versus the Pacers and finished with eight points, one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes on the floor. His next chance to suit up comes on Friday versus Chicago. Justin Champagnie has benefited the most from Middleton's lengthy absence, as he's recorded a double-double in two straight games.

Khris Middleton Unavailable Against Jazz
Khris Middleton (ankle) will not suit up for Wednesday's action against the Utah Jazz. He will be kept off the court for ankle injury management purposes. With him sidelined, Justin Champagnie is poised to re-enter the starting unit. Champagnie's performances can vary, but he has recorded decent numbers in a starting role. As a member of the first unit, Champagnie has averaged 11.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 29.9 minutes. The Wizards have a back-to-back scheduled following Wednesday night, so there's a good chance Middleton will sit out more action later in the week.

In his last outing on March 8th, the 33-year-old posted 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes of work versus the Raptors. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Middleton's progression with his new club after he's finished with at least 12 points, three rebounds, and two steals in the last four games.
