Taurean

Prince

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.

This will be a third straight absence for GTJ, and while his starting spot has been filled by Kyle Kuzma, he will be sidelined as well. Taurean Prince and Cormac Ryan should take on extra minutes, with one of them filling the open starting spot.

For those whose fantasy leagues have been active, Prince was a silly season standout in the Bucks’ final two games of Week 23. The veteran wing totaled 37 points, five assists, two steals and nine three-pointers, shooting 9-of-10 from beyond the arc. Prince made all five of his three-point attempts against the Grizzlies, providing excellent value in that category.

Prince’s overall stat line will not jump off the page, especially with the lack of rebounds. However, he shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc and scored a team-high 18 points. Prince played 25 minutes, and he’s shown on multiple occasions that he does not need to play heavy minutes to provide tangible fantasy value. If available, he’ll be worth streaming in deep leagues for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Prince and Harris are both available for Friday’s game, with the former’s return having a greater impact on fantasy basketball. While Prince is a deep-league option at best, he’s worth a look. That is not the case for Harris.
