Khris Middleton has been the Milwaukee Bucks' most influential player this season. He set the tone with his three-point shooting and defense against the Miami Heat last night. He ended with 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting.

Middleton is leading the Milwaukee Bucks in scoring with 26.3 points per game on 57.6% from the field. He's yet to miss a free-throw this season as well. Middleton will be in line for an All-NBA selection if he can keep this up for the rest of the campaign.

Power Forward - Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)

The arrival of Jrue Holiday has taken much pressure off Giannis Antetokounmpo who hasn't had to force the issue as often. This was evident by the nature of the blowout win the Milwaukee Bucks managed despite Giannis scoring just nine points against the Miami Heat last night.

The Greek Freak's numbers are down from last year with him averaging 21.5 points and 11.3 rebounds per game so far. This doesn't mean that he cannot explode if need be. He's still as impeccable while protecting the basket and could be in the running for Defensive Player of the Year honors again.

Center - Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat)

Bam Adebayo is yet to showcase the passing range that he's so well known for. With an average of five turnovers per game, he's also not taking good care of the possession. But just like Giannis, Adebayo too can flick a switch if need be.

He's among the best defenders on the Miami Heat and averaging 18 points on 65.6% accuracy from the field to go with his seven rebounds per game. He managed 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting the other night but will be hoping to have a bigger impact in the second game.
