Khris Middleton limited to 14 points in defeat
Khris Middleton finished Thursdayâs Game 6 loss to the Pacers with 14 points (6-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.
Advice: While Damian Lillard did return from an Achilles injury, the Bucks were still without Giannis Antetokounmpo. That meant they needed another virtuoso performance from Middleton to keep their season alive, and that didnât happen. The veteran wing finished with a series-low 14 points as the Pacers sent Milwaukee fishing. As in 2022-23, the inability to remain healthy sapped most of Middletonâs fantasy value this season. Managers expected this, based on Khash Moneyâs Yahoo ADP of 82.3. While his regular season fantasy value wasnât terrible, the availability issues proved costly. Middleton finished the year ranked outside the top 100 in 9-cat formats, albeit by a few spots. How much managers should trust him in the fall will depend on the Bucksâ roster, but Middletonâs days as a top 60 fantasy player may be in the rear-view mirror.
