Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton is not listed on the team's injury report on the second night of a back-to-back set for Thursday versus the San Antonio Spurs. It's a great sign for Middleton, who has rested on one part of Milwaukee's prior four sets with two games in as many days. The veteran two-way star matched a season-high figure with four three-pointers in Wednesday's road loss to the Indiana Pacers, filling up the box score for 19 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and two blocked shots in 32 minutes while playing through knee and wrist injuries. The Bucks check in as double-digit favorites against a 5-28 Spurs club on Thursday, so they could have the luxury of monitoring Middleton's workload if the game gets out of hand in their favor.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee/wrist) will play on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Middleton is banged up with a sprained left wrist that he underwent surgery on during the summer of 2022, and the Bucks are also managing his right knee that was operated on this past offseason, but he will suit up for Wednesday's likely up-tempo game that features a massive 257.5-point implied total. The 32-year-old three-time All-Star is starting to shake off early-season rust and round into form, tallying 18.5 points, 5.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes across his latest 11 contests, effectively closing his fantasy buy-low window. Middleton's DFS salary is on the rise, and he carries plenty of appeal against a Pacers team allowing an NBA-worst 50.4% opponent field-goal percentage.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's Central Division outing with the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks will head to San Antonio to meet the Spurs on Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Middleton is ruled out against Indiana. But either way, he'll likely sit out one of those contests. Without Middleton on the floor, Andre Jackson Jr. or MarJon Beauchamp could enter the starting lineup, with the latter being a safer fantasy option. However, Middleton's absence will mean more scoring chances for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's clash with Indiana. The second-year player is battling an illness. Beauchamp hasn't played a big part in Milwaukee's rotation, but he's shown flashes of very good potential. The 23-year-old is averaging 4.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15.1 minutes. Pat Connaughton should soak in most of Beauchamp's minutes on Monday if he can't play.
