Khris Middleton - Struggles in limited minutesMiddleton finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), a rebound and five assists across 12 minutes in Friday's 124-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
ImpactMiddleton didn't have his best outing and struggled from the field, but he played only 12 minutes, and the main thing is that he's healthy for the start of the regular season next week. Middleton had an injury-plagued campaign in 2022-23, and he will look to remain on the court on a more consistent basis in 2023-24, as his presence in the starting unit will undoubtedly boost the Bucks' title chances.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Puts up 26 points in winAntetokounmpo racked up 26 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks across 27 minutes in Friday's 124-116 preseason win over the Gri...
ImpactAntetokounmpo is showing he's already in midseason form and is more than ready to begin the campaign, as the Bucks again will be among the top contenders in the Eastern Conference, especially after adding Damian Lillard in the offseason. Antetokounmpo will need to adjust his game a bit to play alongside another dominant ball-handling star, but his fantasy value as one of the best players across all formats is not expected to take a hit.

Damian Lillard - Goes for 19 points FridayLillard went for 19 points (6-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Friday's 124-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
ImpactLillard looked very good in his preseason debut and struggled massively in his second outing, but he took a step forward here and notched a decent stat line in 27 minutes. Lillard needs to get used to his new surroundings and learn how to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, but there's no question he's going to be a stud in fantasy, even if he experiences some kind of regression compared to the 32.2 points per game he averaged in 2022-23.
