Premise: Middleton registered 17 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two steals, one rebound and one assist across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 110-87 loss to the Pistons. Middleton shot the ball terribly Wednesday night, but made up for it by going a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe. It's discouraging to see such a low shooting percentage, but Middleton is bound to bounce back and it's good to see him getting to the line often.
Hypothesis: This is the first time Middleton has played against the Pistons.
