Prince finished with two points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three steals, one rebound and one assist over 27 minutes during Monday's 101-100 win over the Rockets.
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: Team-high 23 points vs. Charlotte
Rotowire
Prince registered 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes in Saturday's 115-114 loss to the Hornets.
Prince's 23 points Saturday were the most on the Bucks and were also a season high for the ninth-year forward out of Baylor. His scoring output next to Giannis Antetokounmpo (22) and Bobby Portis (21) was needed as Damian Lillard was ruled out for a third straight game due to a concussion. Since Nov. 1, Prince has averaged 10.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 29.8 minutes per game.

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. Prince is off to one of his best starts of his nine-year career, and he is on pace to have his best rebounding average since 2019, with a 5.3 per game total to start this season.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Four steals vs. Memphis
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.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Will start sans Middleton
Rotowire
Prince will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Prince was a regular starter throughout the preseason, so this was expected but still noteworthy given Khris Middleton's (ankle) absence extending longer than anticipated. Across 49 starts for the Lakers last season, Prince averaged 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.5 minutes per game.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Scores five points
Rotowire
Prince posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 23 minutes in Thursday's 109-84 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Prince was one of the few rotation regulars suited up for this preseason finale, but given that the Bucks played several rookie and future G Leaguers in this contest, Prince's stats for this game won't count for much. The veteran will be a bench option for the Bucks once the 2024-25 season begins, providing depth at both forward spots and some much-needed outside shooting in the second unit.
Prince will start Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons.
Prince will enter the starting lineup due to Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) and Khris Middleton (ankle) being out. Prince was an offseason acquisition for the Bucks and should be able to carve out a substantial role this season.
