A+. Khris Middleton’s season continues to level up, and at this point it’s truly something to behold. There may have been a bumpy stretch in overtime where it looked as if the game was getting away from Middleton, and the Bucks, but the way in which he was able to rally through that to score nine straight points and ice the win speaks volumes of his progression as a player. On this occasion that was also evident with some of the incredible ball-handling and passing that Middleton was showcasing, both of which are elements that haven’t always been strengths in his game. In all, a final line of 40 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three steals, while shooting 15-of-28 from the field was a true top-tier performance from Middleton. His ability to step up when Antetokounmpo has been nullified or hasn’t in play has been notable of late, and again it only bodes well for Milwaukee’s postseason dreams.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks.
