4 years agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton stayed hot offensively in a narrow 121-119 win over the Celtics on Wednesday. Middleton dropped 27 points on efficient 11-for-20 shooting from the field, chipping in 2 of 4 attempts from beyond the arc in 36 minutes. The veteran forward added 13 rebounds and four assists, earning him his eighth double-double of the season. Middleton is averaging 25 points per game on 52.6 percent shooting from the field and 64.2 percent shooting from deep over his last three contests, as he has picked up the slack with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup. Antetokounmpo is back, though that won't stop Middleton from enjoying another good game in Friday's rematch with Boston. He's had 27-10 lines in each of his two games against them this year.--Tim Capurso
