The Bucks most recently beat Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks by a score of 110-102 (also in Las Vegas).
Middleton finished with six points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block while shooting 2/7 from the field and 1/5 from the three-point range in 22 minutes of playing time.
After missing the first 21 games of the season, it will likely take Middleton several more weeks to get back into form.
The Bucks have gone 14-11 in their first 25 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Eastern Confernece.
They have gone 8-2 over their last ten games (and won three straight).
Following the NBA Cup Finals in Las Vegas, the Bucks will resume action on Friday evening when they visit Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio.
