Increase in usage minutes of forward DJ Wilson has resulted in a diminishing role for Maker in recent times as he averages 10 minutes and 3.8 points since January 1.

Maker's contract will see him through a $3.6 million deal for the 2019-20 season, as the 21-year-old is also eligible to negotiate a rookie contract extension this offseason.
