Khris Middleton: Probable for Game 6

While battling an illness, which was determined to be just a sore throat, during
Monday’s Game 5, Middleton provided eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six
assists, five steals and three rebounds across 36 minutes. Though the illness
seems fairly minor, the Bucks likely don’t want to take a chance of him making
things worse by exerting himself too much during practice, and have ultimately
opted to let him stay home to rest and recover. He should be considered probable
for Thursday’s tilt, with more information on his status likely coming after the
team’s morning shootaround. Though, with the Bucks facing elimination, there
seems to be little reason for Middleton to sit out unless he faces a severe,
unexpected setback.
