Giannis Antetokounmpo makes his prediction on Khris Middleton after Bucks' win over Warriors

Milwaukee Bucks picked up a win in just their second-ever Christmas Day home game in franchise history. Khris Middleton led from the front with a 31-point performance and Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy with his teammate’s contribution. Middleton torched the Golden State Warriors on Friday night and put up incredible numbers in three quarters. This took his total to 58 points from the first two games of the season. Speaking on Middleton after the game, Antetokounmpo said: “[Middleton’s] playing well, making shots. Played with high confidence, you know creating plays for others. It’s good, we need this from him, we need him to do this all year long and he’s feeling good and you know when Khris feels good, you gotta pass him the ball. “He’s playing to get his own shot, but he’s playing through everybody else. He’s running to the corner he’s getting easy looks so he’s playing with a high confidence right now and this team really needs that. “I believe [Middleton] could always pass and his handles were always there. But he’s way better he’s improving, he’s getting older, he knows the game better and he takes his time so he’s better." Bucks currently have a 1-1 record to their 2021 campaign. There are challenging games ahead for the Milwaukee as they visit the New York Knicks next, followed by two road games against the Miami Heat. Source- Essentially Sports
