Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from 137-134 win over Washington Wizards

The Milwaukee Bucks won an overtime thriller against the Washington Wizards on Monday night as Khris Middleton again stepped up in a big way.

Winning has generally been routine for the Milwaukee Bucks this season, and although Monday’s game looked set to be yet another procession, it turned out to be anything but.

In spite of holding a 20-point lead at one point against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena, the Bucks eventually found themselves mired in a real battle and having to slug it out with their opponents in overtime.

Missing Brook Lopez through injury, and spending large chunks of the game without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to foul trouble, the Bucks were forced to dig deeper than usual, but with top line performances and the efforts of the supporting cast below them, they again proved to be up to that challenge.

Khris Middleton continued his knack of producing particularly memorable games against the Wizards, carrying Milwaukee for large spells, and when Middleton did have moments of slacking off, Eric Bledsoe was routinely on hand to pick up the pieces.

With that considered, let’s now take a closer look at the Bucks’ individual performances from their thrilling win over the Wizards.
