Khris Middleton

Odds: +1600

Middleton had long established himself as a three-point shooter, but it has been this season where he has displayed his skills as a more diverse scorer and offensive threat overall.

Middleton averages 40.3 percent from behind the arc for his career overall, and his performance this season has been very much in line with that as he has knocked down 40.5 percent of his shots from three-point range.

It is worth noting that having started the season red-hot from deep, Middleton has cooled off significantly of late. For his last five games, the man known as “Money” is only averaging 30.8 percent from distance.

Middleton has a smooth, repeatable form, with a quick release working in his favor, and with his mellow demeanor he shouldn’t be too perturbed by the spotlight either. Middleton is not a volume chucker though, so fatigue is something to watch out for if he advances through the rounds.
