C+. The only thing to really be critical of with <a rel=. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. ERIC BLEDSOE

WESLEY MATTHEWS. B+. Bucks fans may yet end up looking back to the final four minutes of garbage time in Brooklyn on Saturday as a crucial juncture in the team’s season. A late flurry of triples on that occasion saw <a rel=. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks

A+. Khris Middleton is on fire, and on Monday night, even with his MVP teammate racking up a triple-double, he was easily the most impressive performer on the floor. Middleton scored 24 points on an uber efficient 10-of-13 from the field, which included 3-of-4 from deep. Just as impressive, Middleton added six rebounds and six assists, with that latter mark being notable as it was countered by only two turnovers on a night when Milwaukee was turning it over for fun. Now at .500/.421/.889 for the season, the 50-40-90 club is very much in sight again for Khris.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A-. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game did include some general sloppiness, while he again had to deal with a defense being primarily focused on trying to draw offensive fouls to nullify his impact. That led to an undesirable eight turnovers for Giannis when all was said and done, while his 3-of-9 free throw shooting was also an issue. There were plenty of notable positives, though, as Giannis had 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists for his fourth triple-double of the year, while he also hit the 10,000 career points mark in this outing. Here’s to the next 10,000 points and beyond, and may they all be for the Bucks!. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks

C+. At this point the script is pretty clear for a Brook Lopez performance. Brook’s shooting remains an issue as he just can’t seem to find any consistency, particularly from three-point range. In this one, he logged an inefficient seven points on 3-of-10 shooting, and 1-of-6 from deep. But the flip side of that coin is that Brook continues to play like arguably the most dominant defensive player in the NBA this season. That translates through countless contests and shot alters, but on this occasion there were also three blocks to go with it.. Center. Milwaukee Bucks. BROOK LOPEZ
