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.

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.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Prince (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's game against Boston.
Prince played through his quadriceps injury in Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Pistons and put up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal over 25 minutes. Prince has played and started in every game this season, and it appears that he will most likely play in Friday's game as well. However, in the event he misses time, expect Gary Trent and Andre Jackson to see extended minutes.

Rotowire
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.

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. 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.

Rotowire
