Henson is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Suns with an eye injury in the Bucks' official game notes.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear exactly when Henson suffered the injury or how severe it is, but it appears as though the big man is going to miss at least one contest. With Mirza Teletovic (knee) also expected to be out, the Bucks are facing serious depth issues in the frontcourt, which could result in rookie D.J. Wilson seeing extended minutes for the first time this season.

Henson scored 10 points (5-8 FG) while adding 10 rebounds, two assist and two blocked shots in 26 minutes during Monday's 99-88 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Since Greg Monroe's departure to Phoenix, Henson was averaging 9.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks coming into Monday's game. While the Bucks had initally foseen a center-by-committee approach with Henson and Thon Maker, Henson has been the clear prerence, logging eight more minutes per game than Maker since November 7.

Henson had 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 25 minutes during Monday's 110-103 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Henson finished with a season high in scoring while swatting at least two shots for the seventh time in 13 games, bringing his best effort for this matchup versus Grizzlies' star big Marc Gasol. Following the departure of Greg Monroe, Henson will likely keep splitting center minutes with sophomore backup Thon Maker.

Henson registered 10 points (5-8 FG), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes in Friday's 94-87 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old put up his best scoring total since Oct. 29 while seeing a season-high amount of minutes. Henson is always a solid producer of rebounds and blocks in particular, but when he remains involved offensively -- as was the case Friday, when he tied his season high with eight shot attempts -- he can offer the occasional double-digit scoring total. As long as he retains a hold on the starting job, Henson remains an option in deeper formats.

Henson drew the start at center and provided four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
After the team's usual starter, Thon Maker, got bullied by Steven Adams on Tuesday, coach Jason Kidd opted to start Henson against Dwight Howard on Wednesday. Greg Monroe (calf) being sidelined also afforded Henson more run. He appeared to somewhat take Monroe's usual role of being a rebounder and facilitator -- the latter of which Henson is not known for. It's unclear if Henson will continue to start moving forward. Either way, however, once Monroe returns, Henson will seemingly move back to the 15.6 minutes per game he was seeing prior to Monroe's injury. For that reason, he'll probably continue being irrelevant in most fantasy formats.

Henson will start at center for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thon Maker has started at center in each of the first seven games of the season, though it appears Jason Kidd will make a switch for matchup reasons. Henson will get the call to face off with Dwight Howard right away, while bringing Maker off the bench instead. That being said, Greg Monroe (calf) is still out, so both players should get plenty of run at center Wednesday. Henson could be a cheaper punt-play option to consider for Wednesday's slate.

Henson provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four blocks, and two assists in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 win against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Henson stepped up and played well on a night when Bucks coach Jason Kidd clearly didn't trust sophomore starter Thon Maker. Between Maker and the offensive-minded Greg Monroe, Henson has no shortage of competition for minutes at center. However, on this occasion, it was Henson who made the most of his court time.

Henson will get the start at center for the Bucks' preseason opener against the Mavericks, Matt Velazquz of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson drew 39 starts with the team last year, but the majority came during the first half of the season. Second-year center Thon Maker (ankle) figures to be the favorite to start at center heading into the season, but he will be sidelined Monday. Henson could see healthy minutes in the exhibition contest, but he is looking at a likely third-string center role behind Maker and Greg Monroe to start the year.

Henson is starting at center for Wednesday's season finale against the Celtics, Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson made his return from a ten game absence in the Bucks win over the Hornets Monday, but only played nine minutes. With a few of the Bucks regular rotational players out for rest Wednesday, the team likely wants to help Henson ease back into game shape for the playoffs. Look for him to take on a relatively healthy workload in the contest.

Henson (thumb) posted two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one block across nine minutes off the bench in a 89-79 win over the Hornets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks indicated prior to the game that Henson would be capped at around 20-to-25 minutes following a 10-game absence due to the sprained left thumb, but he didn't come close to that level of playing time with both Thon Maker and Greg Monroe assuming most of the run at center. Henson figures to find himself behind those two in the pecking order at the position in the regular-season finale Wednesday against the Celtics as well as the postseason, so it's difficult to envision him having a significant impact in the fantasy realm in the near future.
