Taurean Prince Records First Double-Double In New Year
Taurean Prince went for 12 points and 12 rebounds during Monday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, checking his three-point onslaught at the opening tip. Prince shot 5-for-9 from the field overall on the night, including going 1-for-3 from long range; his three attempts from deep marked his fewest in an outing since Dec. 15, when the Nets last hosted Philadelphia. The double-double marks his eighth of the year, as Prince continues to retain value in a variety of formats due to his shooting and rebounding ability for an up-tempo Brooklyn squad.

Taurean Prince Sidelined On Friday
Taurean Prince (ankle) won't play Friday against the Washington Wizards. Prince was considered probable earlier in the day, but he's since been scratched due to a left ankle sprain. Friday's contest will be the first he's missed, as he's played in all 54 Milwaukee games this season. With the 30-year-old veteran on the shelf this evening, Gary Trent and Kyle Kuzma will be in line for expanded roles in the Bucks rotation.

Taurean Prince Cleared For Action
Taurean Prince (knee) is good to go for Sunday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Milwaukee has upgraded Prince from probable to available. The 30-year-old boasts a proud record of having played in every game this campaign. With Bobby Portis (personal) unavailable, Prince has recently taken on a larger role in the rotation, logging 30-plus minutes in three of the past four games. He has provided low-tier fantasy value during that stretch, averaging 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.0 steals.

Taurean Prince Available Versus Celtics
Taurean Prince (illness) will play against Boston on Friday. He was initially iffy for the contest due to an illness. Prince has recently had a productive spell with the Bucks, scoring in double figures five times in the past six games. He's shot an amazing 16-for-23 from behind the three-point line during the stretch. However, Boston gives up the third-fewest three-point attempts in the league, so it might be difficult for Prince to keep his hot shooting spell going.

Taurean Prince Listed As Probable For Friday Night In Boston
Taurean Prince (quad) is listed as probable for Friday night's matchup against the Boston Celtics. Prince hasn't missed a game all season and logged his normal minutes on Wednesday, when he showed up on the injury report as well, so it doesn't appear that this injury is hampering him much. A bigger concern for fantasy managers, in regards to Prince's performance, is the return of Khris Middleton on Friday. Prince has brought fantasy value through making threes, hitting them at a league-leading 55.6% clip. However, it's been on generally low volume. If Middleton takes away any chances from three then it could impact Prince's numbers.
