Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from 123-111 win over Sacramento Kings

A+. An outstanding all around performance from Eric Bledsoe as he not only drove the Bucks forward throughout the game, but stepped up to make big shots at key junctures too. Bledsoe’s two three-pointers early in the fourth quarter certainly stood out in that regard, but they were just part of the overall picture. With 28 points on an ultra-efficient 10-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-4 from deep, along with eight rebounds and eight assists, Bledsoe’s game-high +17 in the box score was certainly well-earned..

C. Having found some welcome hot shooting on the road of late, that same form didn’t quite carry over for <a rel=. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. WESLEY MATTHEWS

A. Make that seven consecutive games with 20 points or more for Khris Middleton. Middleton was just below his peak efficiency in this one, going 9-of-21 from the field, but remains red-hot from deep. Much like Bledsoe, Middleton had his own spell of stepping up in the fourth quarter when the Bucks needed him most. Finishing with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists, Middleton is definitely owed a large share of the credit for this W.. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON

C-. Picked it up late on to offer some redemption after what had been an absolutely disastrous first half. With the arrival of <a rel=. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. ERSAN ILYASOVA

A+. Back-to-back 20-point games for Brook Lopez, who all Bucks fans will be hoping has finally regained his shooting rhythm. At this rate, the disruption of the All-Star break will be very unwelcome for Brook, as he looks better right now than he has all season. On this occasion, a strong first quarter certainly got him going, but Lopez maintained his good play from there, also coming up with three blocks for good measure. In games when Brook plays this well, the Bucks become close to impossible to beat.. Center. Milwaukee Bucks. BROOK LOPEZ
