Bucks' Khris Middleton: Shoots efficiently Wednesday

Middleton recorded 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 103-100 victory over the Celtics.

Analysis:

After missing all five of his threes Tuesday night and dealing with a lingering illness, Middleton responded Wednesday night by converting all three of his attempts behind the arc. In the back-to-back set, Middleton played over 30 minutes in each game, which is a positive sign considering he missed nearly the whole first half of the season with an injury. For Middleton, it's not a matter of him taking shots (averaging 14 shots per game over the last eight contests), but rather converting on the attempts he does take. He can score as many as 30 points on a given night, but also not hit double-digits if he's off, which makes him a risky fantasy play as he's known to predominantly be a scorer and not much else.
