Maker is set for a larger role with John Henson (wrist) ruled out, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker will slot into Henson's spot off the bench for a significant stretch with Henson set to undergo wrist surgery. Maker has appeared in six games this season and is averaging 5.5 points along with 3.2 rebounds per contest.

Maker had 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, and one block in 23 minutes during Monday's 124-109 victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Maker saw some additional run with Giannis Antetokounmpo (concussion) on the sidelines, putting up his best line of the year so far. This was an encouraging sign for the third-year big-man, although we would need to see him do it a few more times to consider him fantasy relevant.

Maker is expected to see an uptick in playing time Monday against the Raptors, Kane Pitman of Pick and Roll reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker has been on the court for just 18 minutes through the first six games of the season, but with Giannis Antetekounmpo (concussion) ruled out, Maker should enter the game off the bench behind Ersan Ilyasova. Maker has drilled three of five shots from the floor to begin the year.

Maker managed eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and one block in 12 minutes during Friday's 125-95 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Maker made his first appearance of the season, though it took a blowout win for it to happen. With new additions Brook Lopez and Ersan Ilyasova (as well as John Henson) ahead of Maker in the team's pecking order at center, his minutes could be quite limited.

Maker will be active for Monday's game against the Knicks, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker was somewhat of a surprise inactive for each of Milwaukee's first two games, but he'll be an option off the bench for coach Mike Budenholzer on Monday. Christian Wood will join D.J. Wilson as the Bucks' two inactives.

Maker (knee) is healthy for Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knee soreness had been limiting Maker throughout training camp, but some extra time off has helped. He saw 16.7 minutes per game last season, but will probably have a hard time reaching that mark this season with the Bucks' offseason frontcourt additions.

Maker (knee) is out Friday against the Timberwolves, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore left knee will keep Maker sidelined Friday. He should tentatively be considered questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets.

Maker (knee) will remain out for Tuesday's preseasno tilt with the Thunder, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker is missing a second straight contest due to a minor knee injury, but the expectation is that he should still be ready for the regular-season opener in just over a week. Along with Maker, the Bucks will be without seven other players as well for rest or injury, so they'll be severely short-handed against the Thunder.

Maker has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against the Timberwolves with a knee injury, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maker's injury is being described as minor, so it looks to be nothing more than a precautionary night off for the big man. With Ersan Ilyasova (hamstring) being held out too, the Bucks will be rather light on frontcourt depth, paving the way for Christian Wood to potentially see added minutes Sunday.

Maker will draw the start at center over Tyler Zeller for Thursday's Game 6 against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

This decision isn't too surprising, as Maker has outplayed Zeller since usual starter John Henson went down with a back injury. Over the past three games, Maker has averaged 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks across 26.0 minutes.
