Sanders (illness) played 18 minutes and provided six points (3-7 FG) and six rebounds in the win over Miami on Friday.

Spin: Sanders was not expected to play and saw slightly fewer minutes in the win that snapped a three-game losing streak. In his last five games, Sanders has not played more than 24 minutes with averages of 7.0 points and 4.2 rebounds.

From game recap on Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel:

The Bucks, who won despite turning the ball over 25 times, posted an amazing 45-20 advantage over the Heat on the glass despite center Larry Sanders playing only 18 minutes due to illness and Ersan Ilyasova (nasal fracture) and John Hensen (left-foot sprain) being out.

Darn it!!!!:-)))  Still, he has NOT been getting a lot of minutes per game over the last five games.  I don't know if he is worth taking a chance due to his awful contract though and his low production thus far this year.

Thoughts??

I am wavering on him a little.

He's played well in the games I've watched.  I'd say they definitely view him as important part of their early success, so they're not looking to unload him for peanuts.
