Thon Maker

Bucks' Thon Maker starting at center on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Thon Maker will make the start at center on Wednesday, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Matt Velazquez.

What It Means:

After bulking up in the offseason, it will be interesting to see what kind of playing time and role Maker gets off the bat in 2017. Greg Monroe and John Henson will back him up and eat into the youngster's minutes, much like a year ago. But it remains to be seen if Monroe will dominate the minutes from the bench as he did then.

In tonight's matchup with the Boston Celtics, our models like Maker to tally 8.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 block in 22.6 minutes. At $3,800, he's projected for 20.7 FanDuel points on tonight's slate.
