Middleton (ankle) was limited in practice Tuesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Middleton was still able to participate in a few drills, and coach Larry Drew remains optimistic that he will be able to make the start in favor of Caron Butler on Wednesday against the Knicks. Butler remains sidelined in practice with a swollen knee, so as long as Middleton continues to start, he should hold short-term fantasy value.
