Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON. A. Another ho-hum shooting masterclass from Khris Middleton on Sunday afternoon. The freshly anointed two-time All-Star continued his rich vein of form by racking up 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-5 from deep. Middleton’s confidence generally looks to be approaching peak levels though as he also produced a couple of big time moves to draw the adulation of the fans, dished out plenty of pretty passes, and also finished with eight rebounds and six assists.

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A-. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s efficiency wasn’t quite at peak levels as it took him a little bit of time to get going in the first quarter. Once Antetokounmpo found his groove, though, there was no looking back. Giannis fell just below a pretty rare 30-20-10 game, finishing with 30 points, 19 rebounds, and nine assists. In addition to a start he’d have liked to have back, Antetokounmpo’s seven turnovers provided a small blemish on an otherwise routinely excellent effort.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks

A. Brook Lopez came out of the gate playing aggressively on the offensive end, and that fueled what would prove to be a special night on the defensive end too. Brook completely dominated the paint, swatting away a career-high nine shots over the course of the contest. That meshed nicely with a performance where on the other end, Brook was also wreaking havoc with his scoring inside. It all amounted to 17 points, nine blocks, and four rebounds, with the only disappointment being Brook’s 1-of-6 shooting from deep.. Center. Milwaukee Bucks. BROOK LOPEZ
