NBA 2018-19: Disappointing Performances - Week 21

4. Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)

Khris Middleton is enduring a bad week this season

The Milwaukee Bucks have been playing really well all season long and find themselves at the top of the Eastern Conference. They have been led by some superb MVP level performances by Giannis Antetokounmpo but key performances from Khris Middleton have helped them throughout the season.

But this week, Middleton has not been able to live up to how well he has been playing this season, averaging just 14 points a game, along with 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists a game. The loss against the Phoenix Suns was one of his worst games this season, getting just 6 points on 7% shooting from the field.

The win over Indiana Pacers, Middleton responded with a 27-point game, along with 2 rebounds and 4 assists but then slumped against the Charlotte Hornets, scoring 9 points off 33% shooting and getting 6 rebounds in this one. Finally in the most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, he scored 15 points and grabbed 8 rebounds but yet again shot just 40% from the field. The Bucks need more consistent performances from their star forward if they want to keep the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
