Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (knee) didn't suit up for their game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans since he's still not playing both games of a back-to-back right now. The team is still trying to load manage his knee to make sure he's healthy come playoff time. He has since been removed from the injury report and will take the floor against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The 32-year-old may not be enjoying the same level of a season that he's used to, but over the last four games, he's averaged 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 turnovers, and 2.0 made threes per game. He's still a playable player in all fantasy leagues and formats whenever he's healthy.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) received another questionable tag on Sunday for their game against the Chicago Bulls. He's listed with a knee contusion, which forced him to miss their last game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. The injury came after he played over 40 minutes in an overtime win against the Houston Rockets. In that contest, he posted 19 points, six assists, two rebounds, and two turnovers. If he's able to play against Chicago, he is a solid start in all fantasy formats. If he has to watch from the sidelines, however, Scoot Henderson (quad) could be a solid streamer if he plays, otherwise, Jabari Walker, Matisse Thybulle, and Toumani Camara would get some more opportunities.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Brogdon is a late addition to the injury report due to a right knee contusion. This is a shame considering is providing top-75 fantasy value in 9-cat leagues over the last two weeks. If he sits, Matisse Thybulle would likely move into the starting five. Anfernee Simons would probably shift to the point guard spot, while Scoot Henderson would have a bigger role as well.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to groin soreness. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Blazers as Brogdon has played a significant role lately with the team shorthanded. He's expected to come off the bench, but Brogdon should still be able to make a solid impact, so fantasy managers can get Brogdon into their lineups safely now.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) isn't spotted on the team's injury report leading into Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks held Middleton out of Sunday's overtime win over the Sacramento Kings to manage his injured left knee that he underwent surgery on this past offseason, but he'll be back in the mix for the start of Milwaukee's three-game road trip on Wednesday. Andre Jackson Jr. nearly fouled out in 10 minutes of action in Sunday's scoreless spot start, with Pat Connaughton helping fill Middleton's void for 33 minutes and Bobby Portis posting the second double-double in his last three matchups. Middleton is getting his legs back with averages of 17.4 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.1 threes in 29.9 minutes over his latest 17 outings, but Cleveland is allowing the third-fewest points per game (110.7) this year.
