Rough season continues Middleton accumulated six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime loss to the Pistons.

Impact Middleton returned from a one-game absence, continuing what has been a passive season, to say the least. The Wizards seem content with managing Middleton through any minor ailment, a trend that is likely to see him miss multiple games as the season progresses. He has scored a total of just 22 points across his past four games, barely featuring on the offensive end. These factors all point to him no longer being a must-roster fantasy asset.

Impact Middleton sat out Saturday's contest for right knee injury management but is off the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup, setting him up to return after a one-game absence. The veteran has been generally efficient but hasn't seen a ton of usage, averaging 10.3 points on 49.1 percent shooting from the field and 38.9 percent from deep across 24.4 minutes per game in seven appearances (all starts) this season.

With Middleton sidelined, Justin Champagnie, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are candidates for increased minutes.

Middleton has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest across six games this season.

Iffy for Monday Middleton (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Middleton is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to a left elbow contusion. If the veteran forward is ultimately ruled out, Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are candidates for increased minutes. Over six regular-season appearances, Middleton has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 41.2 percent from downtown in 25.0 minutes per contest.

Muted performance in loss Middleton had six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With the return of Bilal Coulibaly, the Wizards opted to run a bigger lineup Thursday. Although Middleton started this game, his long-term outlook remains pretty bleak as the Wizards continue to keep their focus on guys like Coulibaly and Kyshawn George. Plus, Cam Whitmore is likely to become more involved down the road too.

Looks sharp despite loss Middleton logged 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Middleton's heroic return to Milwaukee was a successful one on an individual level as he put up 23 points and finished second on the team in shot attempts. While he's obviously a valued veteran presence on the team, it's fair to wonder just how long the Wizards rely on him in what is supposed to be a rebuilding season. He's likely to see his name in the rumor mill quite a bit this season.
