On Tuesday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder will face off in Las Vegas (NBA Cup Finals).

Middleton is averaging 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 25.9% from the field and 25.0% from the three-point range in four games.

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.
