John Henson is listed as out in the game notes for Thursday's game against the Nuggets. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue that's caused him to miss two straight games for the Milwaukee Bucks. Thon Maker has stepped up in his stead and would be expected to do so again so long as Henson's ruled out.

With him on the sidelines for the last two, Maker's played 26.2 and 24.8 minutes. He's turned the extra playing time into 21.1 and 17.1 FanDuel points, respectively, while averaging 12.5 points on 7.5 field goal attempts per game.

Maker's price is still below $4,000, and while the production isn't sky high, he's a guy in a starting role and getting valuable minutes. The young center could be the foundation to building a successful lineup on Thursday as we head toward the All-Star beak.
