The Bucks have played phenomenally (15-5) in their first 20 games without Middleton, and getting him back will make them even better.

Last season, he averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest (and he made his third trip to the All-Star Game). 

Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday make up one of the best trios in the NBA. 

The Lakers enter the night with an 8-12 record in their first 20 games, which has them as the 13th seed in the Western Conference. 

They got off to an awful start to the season but have played better as of late (6-4 in their last ten games). 

That being said, they are still 2-6 in the eight games they have played on the road.

At home, the Bucks have been dominant (11-2 in the 13 games they have hosted in Wisconsin). 

They are also the second seed in the Eastern Conference and in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
