While Khris Middleton won’t appear tonight in the front end of the Bucks’ back-to-back, the conversation around his current role on the team ramped up in recent weeks as the starting lineup sputtered offensively. To be fair, that’s not really Middleton’s fault: the Bucks’ offense as a whole is only a tick above league average both over the last two weeks and over the entire season. And when he’s on the court, the Bucks are 5.5 points better per 100 possessions, and his net rating is +8.0 (meaning the Bucks have done well defensively with him playing too), good for 85th percentile among all players in a sample of 354 minutes.
