Starters

Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. ERIC BLEDSOE. B. Considering he was a gametime decision due to a right knee contusion, Eric Bledsoe gave everything the Bucks could have asked for on Monday. There was certainly evidence of his minutes being managed carefully throughout the game, but on the court there was no holding back from Bledsoe, whose change of pace often led to him getting right to the rim or earning shots at the free throw line. His defense was important to the end result too.

B+. Khris Middleton found his three-point shot on Monday, and the Bucks will be grateful for it. Middleton knocked down a trio of triples early in the game, before coming back to hit one more late on. It’s clear how Middleton’s entire game can hinge on his confidence in his stroke, and as such, it’d be a big boost for both player and team if he could build on this performance over the next few games.. Guard/Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON

Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn’t quite at his best on Monday, which was somewhat apparent from a couple of ugly misses early on. Still, Giannis did everything his team needed him to do to win. The Greek Freak finished with a standout line of 27 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks, while carrying a behemoth 44-minute workload.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A-

A. Why can’t John Henson play the Grizzlies every night? Henson put in one of his best performances of recent memory, coming up with big baskets down the stretch and working like a dog on the boards throughout the game. Henson finished up with 17 points and eight rebounds on 8-of-10 from the field, and even when he was unable to secure boards throughout the night, he did great work in fighting off <a rel=. Center. Milwaukee Bucks. JOHN HENSON
