Maker totaled five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and a block across 14 minutes in the Pistons' win over the Wizards on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Maker played his second game with Detroit on Monday, failing to come away with any significant production. His two games with the Pistons have yielded averages of 2.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks across 11.0 minutes, making him an irrelevant fantasy option in nearly all formats.

Maker has been officially cleared to take the court Friday against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Maker's absence from Friday's practice was concerning, but he wasn't on Detroit's injury report, meaning he'll be ready to debut for the Pistons. He should remain in a bench role after being traded from Milwaukee.

Maker (not injury related) could play Friday night against the Knicks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker's availability for Friday's contest didn't appear promising after he failed to participate in practice, but head coach Dwane Casey noted that Maker could make his team debut against New York. After struggling to see consistent playing time with Milwaukee, Maker is hoping for a better situation after being dealt to the Pistons.

Maker did not participate in practice and may not play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The trade that sent Maker to Detroit was just finalized on Thursday, so the Pistons may not be ready to use the 21-year-old right away. If Maker does not play Friday, the Pistons have off until Monday, giving the big man a whole weekend to get some extra reps with the team before he makes his debut.

Maker (trade acquisition) will be available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old center is expected to make his Pistons debut two days after being dealt by the Bucks for Stanley Johnson. In what amounts to a change-of-scenery trade for two young players who've yet to show their full potential, it's still unclear if Maker will be able to carve out a significant role in the rotation with Detroit.

Maker was traded to the Pistons on Wednesday in exchange for Stanley Johnson, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

In late January, Maker was vocal about wanting to be traded out of Milwaukee, as his spot in the rotation had disappeared. He's gotten his wish, and he'll be sent to the Pistons. Maker has spent 97 percent of his career minutes at center and may compete for reserve minutes with Zaza Pachulia.

Maker and his agent have expressed a desire to be traded from the Bucks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker, who started 46 games through his first two seasons, has seen a reduction in playing time recently. Since January, he's appeared in just eight of the 12 possible contests, averaging 3.8 points, 2.6 rebounds in 10.1 minutes when he's taken the floor. Maker has shown promise at times, notably posting 14 points, five rebounds, five blocks and a steal in 24 minutes against the Celtics in last year's playoffs. If the Bucks move on from Maker and don't receive a center in return, Jason Smith and D.J. Wilson could see upticks in playing time.

Maker (coach's decision) didn't see the floor Sunday in the Bucks' 133-114 win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With D.J. Wilson returning from a two-game absence to suit up in Friday's loss to the Wizards, Maker saw his playing time drop down to three minutes. Even with the Bucks winning Sunday's game handily, Maker still couldn't crack coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation, as Jason Smith instead got the nod at center in garbage time. Any hope of Maker building on his impressive performance against the Celtics in the opening round of the postseason last spring appears to have fallen by the wayside at this point. His minutes per game have fallen from 16.7 in 2017-18 to 12.1 through 32 outings this season.

Maker had just one rebound in three minutes during Wednesday's 116-109 victory over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Maker barely made the court Wednesday, finishing with just one rebound in three minutes. He had scored 15 points in 18 minutes during his previous game, thus outlining his highly unpredictable role within the team. He can be safely left on the waivers in all but the deepest of formats.

Maker managed 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Maker finished with a season high rebounding total while matching his season high in scoring. It was expected that Maker would see an increased role in the aftermath of John Henson (wrist) being injured, and the third-year big man has earned double-digit minutes in two of the last three tilts. Maker's ability to hit threes and block shots fits into Milwaukee's schemes on both ends of the court, but he's unlikely to establish himself as a reliable option outside of deeper leagues.
