Bucks' Khris Middleton: Scores team-high 26 in win

Middleton scored 26 points (11-22 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 93-90 win over the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

With Middleton back to full health, the Bucks appear to be in great shape to make the postseason. Coach Jason Kidd has finally settled in with a consistent starting five, and it appears the addition of Middleton is the final piece of the puzzle. Although he had a bit of rust to shake off, he's thrived as a starter in the past five games, averaging 15.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He's also averaging 32.3 minutes per game on the court and is expected to keep that pace. Although his price is swiftly rising in DFS, there are few players in the league who have as much upside as Middleton right now. While he isn't a chalk play in cash games yet, his potential ceiling has him primed to exceed value in tournaments and is worth a start in all formats.
