Khris Middleton To Make His Wizards Debut On Friday

The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards right before the NBA trade deadline. Middleton last played in a game 18 days ago and finished with 20 points, two rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during his final game in a Bucks uniform.

Since his season debut on December 6th, Middleton has struggled after undergoing surgeries on both ankles during the offseason. However, the 33-year-old could be a big part of the Wizards offense and will likely see a boost in fantasy for the rest of the regular season if he remains healthy.
Khris Middleton Ruled Out On Monday Versus Thunder
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) will not play the second half of the team's back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Since Middleton has returned from off-season surgery, he hasn't been playing in both games of a back-to-back this year. With that being said, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has also been ruled out while Bobby Portis (personal) is doubtful and both Damian Lillard (groin) and Brook Lopez (back) are questionable. So, that leaves A.J. Green, Gary Trent Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Pat Connaughton as the next crew up. Green and Trent are likely to receive more playing time while Green had the best performance in the last game with 13 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals.
