Washington Wizards: How the Khris Middleton Injury Impacts Washington

On Tuesday, The Westgate Superbook in Las Vegas set its over/unders for the 2016-17 NBA Season.

The Washington Wizards, at 42.5, were projected to finish 7th in the East. Tied for 8th were the Charlotte Hornets and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Milwaukee is coming off a disappointing season, but saw great improvements from cornerstone pieces Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.

Giannis was third in Most Improved Player of the Year voting and Middleton increased his scoring from 13.4 points per game to 18.2.

Of course, these Vegas over/unders were published before Wednesday’s news of Middleton’s hamstring tear and need for surgery, which will sideline him for around six-months.
