Last season, Middleton averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest (he was an All-Star).  

He is arguably the second-best player on the team, so it's very impressive that the Bucks have been able to go 15-5 in their first 20 games without him. 

They are currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference and 11-2 in the 13 games they have hosted in Wisconsin.

Middleton is entering his tenth season with the franchise and will likely give them a big boost. 

The Bucks come into the night in the middle of a three-game winning streak and 6-4 in their last ten games.

In 2021, Middleton was a huge reason why they were able to win the NBA Championship.

His career averages are 17.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest on 39.2% shooting from the three-point range (in 651 regular season games).
