    • Probable for Sunday
      Middleton is probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

      Advice: Middleton is coming off a 42-point effort in the Game 3 loss on Friday, and the veteran forward has embraced a more prominent role on offense with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Middleton is averaging 26.7 points per game in the series while logging at least 35 minutes in each game, and the probable tag suggests he shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload Sunday.

    • Khris Middleton (ankle) probable Sunday vs. Indy
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against the Pacers on Sunday.

      Advice: With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard listed as doubtful, Middleton will have to put the team on his back in this game. He had 42 points in Game 3, and he may have to produce similar value to give the Bucks a chance. Rotoworld Today, 2:46 pm
       
    • Shines with 40-point double-double
      Middleton recorded 42 points (16-29 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 41 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Middleton did all he could to help lead Milwaukee to an overtime victory, including hitting the game-tying shot at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime and also tying the game late in overtime, but his 40-point double-double was spoiled in a losing effort. Middleton led all players in Friday's contest in scoring while ending as one of two Bucks with 10 or more rebounds to go along with a handful of assists in a well-rounded outing. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out for Game 4, look for Middleton to continue to provide a lift to Milwaukee offensively. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:02 pm
       
    • Khris Middleton drops 42 in overtime loss
      Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 42 points (16-of-29 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists and four 3-pointers in a 121-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Middleton was questionable coming into this game, but the ankle injury didn’t have any impact on his production. He forced overtime with a 3-pointer and tied the game with six seconds left in overtime with another triple. It wasn’t enough to help them get the win, but it was still a special performance from Middleton. Game 4 is on Sunday, and Middleton will need to carry over some of this magic if they want to tie this series up and retake home court advantage. He’ll likely end up on the injury report again, but there shouldn’t be any concern surrounding his availability. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:55 pm
       
    • Khris Middleton (ankle) active Friday vs. Pacers
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Bucks and Pacers.

      Advice: Middleton returned from a leg injury in Game 2 and is set to suit up despite not practicing on Thursday. Pat Connaughton will likely get an extended run if Middleton struggles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Middleton (ankle) will play in Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

      Advice: Middleton has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite suffering a right ankle sprain in Game 2. There is no indication that the 32-year-old forward will be on a minutes restriction. Middleton is averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.5 minutes across the first two games of the series against Indiana. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:27 pm
       
    • Records double-double in Game 3 win
      Banchero closed with 31 points (13-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: There's no question that Banchero is the engine that keeps the Magic going on offense, and the star forward made his presence felt on both ends of the court Thursday, leading the Magic in both points and rebounds en route to a blowout win. Banchero has surpassed the 20-point mark in his three appearances in the series, averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from three-point range.

    • Disappoints again Thursday
      Harris totaled eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 win over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Harris continues to come up short for the 76ers, scoring no more than 10 points for the third straight playoff game. He is averaging just 8.3 points per game thus far, well below where he needs to be if they are to make any real noise during the postseason. Look for Harris to try and turn things around in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:36 pm
       
    • Paolo Banchero drops 31/14/4/1 line in Game 3 rout
      Paolo Banchero finished Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland with 31 points (13-of-26 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

      Advice: After committing 15 turnovers in the series’ first two games, Banchero produced a masterclass in Game 3. In addition to the gaudy double-double, he did not commit a single turnover in his 29 minutes on the floor. Orlando finished with eight as a team, which, along with the improved shooting, factored into their sparkling performance. Banchero and the Magic will look to even the series on Saturday.
