Does a little big of everything Middleton notched 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 129-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Middleton was back in action for the second half of Milwaukee's back-to-back after taking a seat for Friday's blowout win over Utah to manage his knee injury. The veteran forward struggled with his three-point shot but still provided solid contributions across the board in a losing effort. Middleton has appeared in eight of the Bucks' past 10 games and is averaging 19.1 points, 7.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes during that stretch.

Impact Middleton recorded double-digit assists for just the second time this season, with seven of his game-high 10 dimes coming in the first half. The Bucks built a 28-point lead after three quarters that resulted in Middleton and other key regulars losing out on playing time, but he still saw enough minutes to secure his fourth double-double of the campaign.

Impact Middleton will get his standard maintenance day on the second night of a back-to-back.

Posts 31 on Monday, may sit Tuesday MIddleton put up a season-high 31 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go with nine assists and three rebounds across 34 minutes in Monday's 133-124 win over the Kings.

Impact Since entering the Bucks' starting five March 7 after coming off the bench in his first 14 appearances following his return from a knee injury in late January, Middleton appears to have become free of the playing-time restrictions that have thus far marred his 2022-23 campaign. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) cleared to play after a three-game absence, Monday marked the first time since Dec. 15 that he and Middleton had started in the same game. The arrangement didn't hinder Middleton from a production standpoint, as he rolled to a new season high in scoring on elite shooting while falling just one assist shy of notching his third double-double of the campaign. Middleton is now averaging 21.3 points, 8.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 32.0 minutes while starting the past four games, but the 31-year-old could still be a candidate to rest for one half of back-to-back sets, which has been the case throughout the season. With that in mind, fantasy managers should prepare for Middleton to sit Tuesday in Phoenix.

Impact While Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) has been sidelined for the past three games, the Bucks have loosened the reins on Middleton, who has started in each of those contests while logging 31, 29 and 34 minutes. Those three minutes counts are his highest totals since he returned in late January from an 18-game absence due to right knee irritation. The Bucks could still look to avoid overextending Middleton when possible, and he'll likely be a candidate to sit out one half of the team's remaining back-to-back sets, but his overall fantasy ceiling appears to be higher than it was earlier in the season now that his playing-time restrictions having seemingly been lifted.
