Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON. A. The only thing preventing an A+ for Khris Middleton here is his quiet second and fourth quarters, and the responsibility for that lies as much with his teammates and coach as it does with him. This was one of Middleton’s very best performances of the season, and a throwback to the kind of player he had been in previous years of his Bucks career. Middleton started red-hot and never truly cooled off, in spite of some quiet spells. On the night he finished with 30 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals, on 11-of-16 from the field and 5-of-9 from deep.. Forward

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A+. Giannis Antetokounmpo was outstanding, and if it wasn’t for a quiet first quarter for him that was compounded by foul trouble, this game could have had a very different outcome. Very few players can go head-to-head with LeBron and come even remotely close to matching his dominance in a game, but Antetokounmpo was right there on Monday. Not only did Antetokounmpo break out some extraordinary finishes, but he frequently demonstrated his strength when getting to the rim. Giannis wrapped up his night with 37 points, 11 rebounds and five assists on 13-of-20 from the field.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks
