Bucks rule Khris Middleton (thigh) out for Friday versus Boston
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Khris Middleton (thigh) is out for Friday night's game against the Boston Celtics.
According to this report, Middleton might play on Sunday. The Bucks are right in the middle of a tank war and could find their lottery spot somewhere in the 6-11 range, so it makes sense to rest Middleton. Tyler Ennis, Rashad Vaughn and Johnny O'Bryant should play more.
Middleton has a 0.2 nERD, which ranks 73rd, in 76 games played this season. He's averaging 18.2 points, 4.1 assists (both career highs) and 3.8 rebounds per game while posting a 55.9 True Shooting Percentage. Ennis is one of our preferred plays for Friday's DFS slate as we are projecting him to provide great value with 10.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 3-pointers against Boston. His -1.5 nERD ranks 90th in the league.
