3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (illness) will miss his second straight game while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Middleton wasn't in the lineup on Sunday against Utah and will now be absent for the divisional matchup against Detroit. Although the details surrounding the exact nature of his sickness have been murky, his next chance to suit up will come on Friday against the visiting New York Knicks. Jrue Holiday (ankle) and Brook Lopez (back) are also listed as out against the Pistons, so Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Grayson Allen (knee), who are both probable, should be the primary beneficiaries. The recently-returned Bobby Portis may also get a crack at the starting lineup, although he is a favorite to do some damage on the fantasy end, regardless of his role on Tuesday night.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
