Greg Monroe: Plays 22 minutes Wednesday

Although it wasn’t the most efficient night from Monroe, it was a better
shooting performance than his past two games, where he has shot just 36.8
percent from the floor. Minutes continues to be the main issue with Monroe’s
spotty production, as he often gets capped just over 20 minutes per night.
However, when he’s been given extended playing time (over 30 minutes), he has
capitalized with at least 20 points in three out of four most recent
opportunities. The Bucks like playing a small starting lineup though, with Thon
Maker usually manning down the center while the explosive and versatile
Antetokounmpo handles the power forward position. Monroe should continue to post
numbers similar to his season averages suggest on a nightly basis due to his
inconsistent playing time off the bench.
