Khris Middleton Probable Heading Into Thursday Night
2 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward 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.
