Maker scored 10 points (1-2 FG, 0-0 3PT, 8-11 FT) and added 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 127-106 win over Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Maker made his first start in a month while also logging more than 20 minutes for just the second time in that span. He drew numerous fouls on the way to his first double-double of the season, as eight of his points came from the free-throw line.

Maker is starting Wednesday against the Kings, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker will join the starting lineup Wednesday in place of the injured Andre Drummond (mouth). When seeing 20 or more minutes this season (six games), Maker is averaging 6.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 assist in 22.7 minutes.

Maker was a DNP-CD in Monday's loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

It was Maker's first DNP since late-November, and it's a further indication that the Pistons don't have much use for the former first-round pick -- even in the wake of Blake Griffin's latest knee injury. Prior to Monday, Maker had played just 13 combined minutes in Detroit's last three contests.

Maker will come off the bench Thursday against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker drew the start in the previous game because Drummond missed the team's morning shootaround. Both players will resume their usual roles Thursday.

Maker is in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against Philadelphia, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andre Drummond missed shootaround Monday morning, so Maker will get the start in his place. The center is currently averaging 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 28 appearances this season.

Maker had just four points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 133-119 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Maker remained in the starting lineup with Andre Drummond (eye) ruled out prior to tipoff. Despite the promotion, Maker failed to come through with any sort of relevant fantasy production. Drummond could return for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, a move that would likely see Maker shift back to a minimal role.

Maker will draw the start in place of Drummond (eye) for Saturday's matchup against the Rockets, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker will be drawing his first start of the 2019-20 season, though it's possible Christian Wood sees more minutes off the pine considering Maker's role has been reduced as of late. Across the 12 games that Maker has seen double-digit minutes, he's averaging 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds.

Maker finished with two points (1-1 FG) in five minutes during Sunday's 132-98 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Maker has been limited to single-digit minutes in four of his last six appearances, this after earning double-digit minutes in 10 of his first 12 tilts to begin 2019-20. Meanwhile fellow backup big man Christian Wood poured in a career-high 28 points to go along with 10 boards in 22 minutes.

Maker has averaged 13.9 minutes through nine games for the Pistons this season.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old has been uninspiring off the bench, averaging 2.9 points and 2.2 rebounds. The inevitable return of Blake Griffin (hamstring) will likely further hinder Maker's shrinking role within the Pistons' rotation.

Maker managed two points (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 106-86 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Maker had an off night from the field, though he did find a way to make a positive contribution across the other categories. The absences of Blake Griffin (hamstring) and Andre Drummond (rest) were the only reasons Maker was part of the starting five, and he could be forced to battle for the backup big role with Christian Wood.
