Prince ended Tuesday's 130-115 victory over the Kings with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes.
Prince is expected to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, but he's a low-usage player and doesn't have a ton of upside. In 31 starts this season, Prince holds averages of 7.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Serviceable two-way effort
Rotowire
Prince finished Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Pacers with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes.
Prince managed to produce on both ends of the floor, tallying multiple steals for just the fifth time this season. After starting for the first two months, Prince has since shifted to the bench, limiting his opportunities. He has scored in single digits in 10 consecutive games while serving as more of a depth piece than a key contributor.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Coming off bench
Rotowire
Prince won't start in Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Prince is absent from the starting five for the first time this season, yielding to Khris Middleton at the small forward slot. It's unclear if Middleton is ready to reclaim his full-time starting role or if the Bucks are looking for a splash of offense Saturday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined. Still, expect Prince to be heavily involved against Washington.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Quiet in tournament victory
Rotowire
Prince chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Thunder.
Prince delivered a muted effort once again, continuing his modest start to the season. Despite shooting a career-best 51.6 percent from the three-point line, Prince is averaging just 7.8 points and 1.9 three-pointers per game. Although it appears he is locked in as a starter for the time being, his production typically tells another story.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Good to go
Rotowire
Prince (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
As expected, Prince has been upgraded from probable to available. He played only nine minutes during Friday's loss to the Celtics before being ruled out due to the illness. However, he'd scored in double figures in four of his previous five appearances before that game, averaging 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.5 minutes per game.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Downgraded to questionable Friday
Rotowire
Prince (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Prince has been downgraded from probable with right patella tendinopathy to questionable due to a non-COVID illness. If the 30-year-old forward is sidelined, Gary Trent and Andre Jackson are candidates for an increased role. Across his last five outings, Prince averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 65.0 percent from beyond the arc across 25.2 minutes per contest. Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to make his debut Friday, but he'll likely face heavy restrictions.

Prince crashed back down to earth with a season low in points after totaling 38 across his last two games. However, the veteran forward still tied Brook Lopez for the team high in steals while recording his second-highest mark of the season. Despite an 0-for-3 shooting performance from beyond the arc Monday, Prince has still shot an impressive 13-for-25 from deep across his last five outings.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Hauls in season-high 10 rebounds
Rotowire
Prince recorded 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists in 45 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime victory over the Pistons.
Prince's season-high 10 rebounds helped him post his first double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. Prince has been one of the most efficient outside shooters this season, converting 53.2 percent of his 3.9 three-point attempts per contest through his first 12 appearances.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Contributes 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Prince supplied 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Prince enjoyed a very accurate night with a diverse line while Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo lit up the scoreboard.

Rotowire
Prince ended with five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 122-99 loss to the Grizzlies.
Prince was responsible for four of the Bucks' 10 steals Thursday, but he didn't make much of a dent in the box score otherwise. Even with Damian Lillard's shooting struggles, Prince isn't expected to see heavy usage on offense alongside Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Sniffs double-double
Rotowire
Prince ended Friday's 133-122 loss to the Bulls with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes.
Prince has done a good job starting in place of Khris Middleton (ankle) to open the campaign, scoring in double digits and contributing in peripheral categories in his first two appearances. The three-point shooting deserves a mention as well, as Prince has gone 5-for-6 from beyond the arc in those two contests. The efficiency will regress at some point, but he's doing a solid job in a starting role, meaning his fantasy upside will gain a slight boost on a short-term basis until Middleton is ready to return.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Solid output in starting role
Rotowire
Prince posted 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over the 76ers.
Prince got the start at small forward in this season opener with Khris Middleton (ankle) sidelined. The veteran was extremely efficient, missing just one of his shots while playing a complementary role in an offense led by two superstars in Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Prince should remain in a starting role as long as Middleton remains sidelined, and that should boost his fantasy upside, both in standard and category-based formats, at least on a short-term basis.
