Khris Middleton plays 20 minutes vs. Hornets Tues.
Khris Middleton played 20 minutes in Tuesday's 124-115 win over the Hornets, scoring 18 points (4-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.
Advice: Middleton's minutes limit increased slightly on Tuesday, with the 20 minutes being the most he's played since returning to action. And with Middleton's minutes being restricted, Pat Connaughton has remained in the starting lineup. Connaughton played 29 minutes, scoring eight points with seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer. He shot 1-of-8 from three, and the fantasy value is limited when those shots aren't falling. Connaughton is worth holding onto as long as Middleton's minutes remain restricted, but we may be approaching the end of that setup.
