Khris Middleton took the leader’s role with a season-high 34 points for the 126 -117 win of Milwaukee Bucks over Detroit Pistons 126-117 .
Giannis Antetokounmpo was missing on Monday night, but Middleton made everybody forget of his absence.
“With Giannis out, I knew I had to be aggressive,” said Middleton after the game. Brook Lopez had 24 points and 14 rebounds, Bobby Portis added 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Jevon Carter scored 22.
