Starters Grades

A+. What is there left to say about <a rel=. Point Guard. Toronto Raptors. KYLE LOWRY

N/A. Powell just can’t catch a break. His night lasted all of 90 seconds before a mid-air collision with <a rel=. Shooting Guard. Toronto Raptors. NORMAN POWELL

Toronto Raptors. OG ANUNOBY. B. A modest seven-point, five-rebound performance by Anunoby was overshadowed by the fact he was the one who collided with Norm Powell, resulting in Powell in leaving the game with an ankle injury – not blaming OG, as it was a freak, bang-bang play that happened to leave Powell in a heap. In the fourth quarter, Anunoby got ejected after throwing an elbow <a rel=. Small Forward

A+. Pascal Siakam was sensational for the Toronto Raptors, finishing with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists – finishing two helpers shy of a triple-double. Siakam is growing as a passer and a facilitator, learning how to navigate and read shifting defences, but committed five turnovers, most on the Raptors. Other than that, it was darn close to a perfect night for Spicy P. With Powell set to miss more time, the Raptors are going to need No. 43 to continue playing at a high level.. Power Forward. Toronto Raptors. PASCAL SIAKAM

A+. 27 points…13 rebounds…5-7 from beyond the arc. Ibaka was an unstoppable force Monday night, and it was him, along with Pascal Siakam, who carried a depleted Raptors lineup to victory in Utah. After playing Sunday in Sacramento, Marc Gasol returned to the sidelines which left Ibaka essentially alone at the five spot (<a rel=. Center. Toronto Raptors. SERGE IBAKA
