Taurean

Prince

Prince is available to make his Pistons’ debut after missing Tuesday’s win over the Celtics. While his status won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball, it could drop Ron Holland II out of the rotation entirely. Holland played three first-half minutes against the Celtics but saw no action after halftime, while Javonte Green played 18 second-half minutes and gave the Pistons a needed spark.

Prince is poised to make his Pistons debut on Friday, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be tracking. His availability has little impact on Detroit’s rotation.

While Prince’s availability won’t significantly impact fantasy basketball, it does factor into the Pistons’ wing rotation. There’s no need to consider rostering the veteran forward when the Pistons are otherwise healthy.

The multi-player deal will allow Prince to have a fresh start in Detroit and compete for playing time on a contending team. Detroit has a fairly established roster following a first-place finish in the Eastern Conference last season, which will make it difficult for Prince to find enough opportunities to have much fantasy impact. He averaged 9.2 points in only 26 appearances with Milwaukee during the 2025-26 season.

While Portis remains out for an 11th consecutive game, Kuzma played 21 minutes off the bench in Friday’s win over the Nets. Taurean Prince and Ousmane Dieng will have added importance within the Bucks’ rotation, and there may be more minutes available to Andre Jackson Jr. off the bench.

Prince has recorded two double-doubles in his last three appearances, and he logged 35 minutes as a starter on Friday. Unfortunately, an early-season neck injury eliminated what little fantasy value the veteran forward possessed, but Prince has played well to finish the season. He has a player option worth just over $3.8 million for next season, and Prince can provide solid depth to a contending team when healthy.

Rollins recently missed time with a strained right hip, but he was not on the injury report for Friday’s game. Now that he is, the Bucks could slot Pete Nance back into the lineup if Rollins doesn’t play. His absence would also free up additional playmaking opportunities for Ousmane Dieng, AJ Green and Taurean Prince.

Kuzma is back after a two-game absence, and his return is likely to push Taurean Prince to the bench. Prince should still play quality minutes, but he offers a lower ceiling in active fantasy leagues when used in a reserve role.

The Bucks won’t have Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma or Myles Turner for Tuesday’s game. Prince, Nance and Sims move into the starting lineup, with Prince offering the highest ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.

Kuzma will be sidelined, which will open up a spot in the starting unit. Taurean Prince and Cormac Ryan should take on larger roles, with one of them sliding into the starting lineup.
