For the game the Bucks remain without Khris Middleton due to a knee injury

According to Dario Melendez of WISN 12 NEWS, there is a chance

[{"selector":"#anim-0af66b7a-217c-41fb-bedd-3be5c64073d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04891dec-6b3b-45a4-813c-e56db808f5c6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.81482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Middleton could make a return as soon as Game 6

Melendez's tweet said: "Nothing official yet but don’t be surprised if Khris Middleton returns this series

I’m being told he’s progressing well and the #Bucks are not ruling him out for Games 6 (and 7 if necessary) Source calling it “a STRONG STRONG possibility he back for Game 6”

[{"selector":"#anim-08c008a9-c8a6-43cc-b119-faf7541abc37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fec05e21-2437-457b-a215-d22be72a0965","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.81283%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Bucks have played well in his absence, but the former All-Star is arguably their second best player
