Part 5/6:
One of the most awaited comebacks is that of Chris Middleton, who is set to make his season debut after recovering from ankle surgery. His performance tonight could determine not just his impact, but also how the Bucks will fare in a potential playoff series against the Celtics.
With Middleton coming off the bench, the Bucks hope for him to reintegrate well with the team's star players, including Giannis and Damian Lillard, whom he has played alongside in only nine regular-season games. This limited time together puts added pressure on Middleton to quickly find his rhythm and effectiveness, especially on the defensive end.
