Maker tallied eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Sunday's 104-102 victory over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Maker had another five blocked shots Sunday while also seeing 30 minutes of playing time, far more than starter Tyler Zeller. Maker has stamped his authority on the defensive end of the floor in the absence of John Henson (back) and has been rewarded with a nice run with the starters. Should Henson be forced to miss another game, Maker should be able to see minutes in the mid-twenties once again in Game 5.

Maker churned out 14 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Milwaukee's 116-92 win over the Celtics in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Maker saw extended run with John Henson (back) out of action and thrived in the opportunity. The second-year seven-footer was excellent on both ends of the floor, recording a game-high number of blocks while also showing off his deft touch from distance with a 75.0 percent success rate from behind the arc. If Henson were to be forced to miss Sunday's pivotal Game 4, the Bucks would seemingly be in good hands with the versatile Maker seeing solid minutes once again.

Maker (groin) is not listed on Saturday's injury report for the game against the Knicks, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maker has been battling a groin injury as of late, preventing him from seeing the floor. That said, little word has emerged about his condition, so it's also possible he's been a DNP-CD over the past couple games, as coach Joe Prunty turns to John Henson and Tyler Zeller to handle duties at center.

Maker (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Maker has missed the Bucks' past four games with a right groin strain, but the probable designation implies that the worst of the injury is behind him. Assuming he can make it through morning shootaround Tuesday without any setbacks, Maker should rejoin the rotation later in the evening against the Celtics, likely picking up around 15 minutes behind frontcourt starters Giannis Antetokounmpo and John Henson.

Maker (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Nuggets, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was initially optimism Maker would return Sunday after he was able to participate in the pregame shootaround. However, the third-year center will remain out and look to make his return Monday against the Celtics. Look for John Henson and Tyler Zeller to each receive a significant allocation of playing time against the Nuggets.

Maker (groin) went through shootaround Sunday morning, but remains questionable against the Nuggets later in the evening, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maker has missed the last three games with a strained groin, but appears to be on the brink of a return after going through shootaround Sunday. Barring an uptick in discomfort during pregame warmups, there appears to be a decent chance Maker plays, though the potential return of John Henson (finger) would likely hamper Maker's ability to see fantasy-worthy minutes. Look for both Maker and Henson to be reevaluated just prior to tip-off before a final determination is made on their availability.

Maker (groin) will remain out Friday against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Friday will mark the third straight absence for Maker, who's been nursing a strained groin since Sunday's win over San Antonio. Expect Tyler Zeller to again pick up the bulk of the minutes at center behind starter John Henson.

Maker (groin) has been ruled out Thursday against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Maker has been considered day-to-day but will now miss his second straight game due to a groin strain. Look for Tyler Zeller and John Henson to assume the majority of minutes at center as a result. Maker's next opportunity to take the court will come Friday when the Bucks face the Lakers.

Maker (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maker will get the night off to nurse a slight groin strain. Marshall Plumlee is active for the contest and could see some run with Maker on the sidelines. Otherwise, expect Tyler Zeller and John Henson to assume the majority of minutes at center.

Maker is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers due to a slight groin strain he suffered in practice, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The issue isn't serious, so Maker should be considered day-to-day. Still, his potential absence could carry some significance, as he's seen increased run lately, averaging 6.8 points in 16.4 minutes over the past five games. If he's ruled out, Tyler Zeller would presumably see more run.
