Starters Grades

C. Lowry saw the most minutes of any player on the floor (41) but struggled most of the night, going 2-12 from the field and finishing with 10 points, six assists and four rebounds. Toronto’s floor general turned the ball over four times against the Bucks and has now committed at least three turnovers in four of the last five games. Finally, Lowry’s shot from outside was A.W.O.L. on Tuesday, missing six of seven attempts from beyond the arc.. Point Guard. Toronto Raptors. KYLE LOWRY

C. VanVleet finished with 14 points – second most on his team – but struggled with his shot most of the evening, like his backcourt mate, <a rel=. Point Guard. Toronto Raptors. FRED VANVLEET

B. Anunoby drew the toughest assignment in this game, having to defend Giannis, but did a more than admirable job. He finished with 11 points, five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes of action. A mixture of inside and outside buckets has Anunoby rolling nicely on offence right now.. Small Forward. Toronto Raptors. OG ANUNOBY

Power Forward. Toronto Raptors. PASCAL SIAKAM. B. Siakam led Toronto with 22 points but wasn’t super efficient doing so, finishing 6-14 from the field. His five made threes – on nine attempts – were a nice development in what was an otherwise unfortunate evening. Over his last five games, Siakam is shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc, doing so at a high shot volume (7.2 attempts).

SERGE IBAKA. F. As great as Ibaka has been in recent outings, he was undeniably awful against Milwaukee. Finishing with five points in Tuesday’s defeat at the hands of the Bucks, it was the first time Ibaka failed to reach double-digit points since Jan. 20, a span of 13 games. Starting in place of <a rel=. Center. Toronto Raptors
