Starters Grades

Point Guard. Toronto Raptors. KYLE LOWRY. A+. A pretty awesome game from the leader of the gang. Kyle Lowry was on fire offensively and super aggressive on defense, the perfect combo. A sweet 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting, including five made three-pointers. A slow night in the assist column but Lowry was everywhere in this game, leading the Raptors to victory.

Toronto Raptors. FRED VANVLEET. A+. Oh, Fred VanVleet. How we have missed you. There was no sign of any sort of ring rust for VanVleet, who finally returns from a short absence. His 29 points came on some nice efficiency, knocking down 6-of-7 from three and attacking the rim with no fear. On defense, he proves to have some of the quickest hands in the NBA, coming away with four-plus steals in a game for the fifth time this season.. Point Guard

C. The saving grace for <a href=. Small Forward. Toronto Raptors. OG ANUNOBY

B+. It’s clear that Siakam isn’t yet back to full health, but this was still an impressive outing from him, regardless. 14 points in 24 minutes on 6-of-10 shooting can’t be sniffed at, and he worked his butt off defensively, too. There’s more to come from Siakam, but he’ll be back to his best soon.. Power Forward. Toronto Raptors. PASCAL SIAKAM

Toronto Raptors. MARC GASOL. B+. Not quite the scoring burst of the previous night, but <a href=. Center
