4 years agoMilwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton (knee) and center Brook Lopez (back) have been ruled out for Friday's game against Charlotte. Milwaukee will be massively short-handed, as the duo are joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee, ankle), Jrue Holiday (knee), Donte Divincenzo (hip) and P.J. Tucker (calf) on the sidelines. All healthy Bucks will be in play Friday, but the absence of Lopez highlights Bobby Portis as one of the top DFS plays on the slate. Pat Connaughton and Jordan Nwora stand to see sizable run on the wings with Middleton not in the mix, as well. The next chance that Middleton, Lopez and Co. have to return comes Sunday versus the Magic.--Jesse Borek
