Rotowire
Middleton supplied 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.
It was Middleton's best scoring effort since Opening Night, when he dropped 23 points in a revenge game against the Bucks. The veteran forward missed the Wizards' prior contest with a sore foot, and nagging injuries have cost him three games in January, but he may be finding his form. Over his last five appearances, Middleton is averaging 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals in 27.4 minutes.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Posts 17 points in defeat
Rotowire
Middleton recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.
Middleton logged his second-best scoring total of the season during the loss, but consistency has been hard to come by for the 34-year-old veteran. After over a decade with the Bucks, Middleton's production has dropped off considerably during his first full season with the Wizards, averaging just 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 27 games.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Non-factor in loss
Rotowire
Middleton finished Friday's 128-107 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes.
Middleton continues to be used sparingly despite his starting role, having now logged no more than 23 minutes in each of his past nine games. Couple that with the fact that he is typically rested whenever the team has a back-to-back set, and we have ourselves a streaming consideration, and nothing more. If he is traded, Middleton's role could change, although given his limitations, that feels unlikely.
