Prince produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block across four minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Prince was moved to the bench in Game 3 of this series and saw his role steadily decline in favor of Gary Trent. Prince was relied upon heavily across 80 regular-season games, averaging 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. The 31-year-old forward should have plenty of suitors once he hits free agency this offseason as a reliable role player.

Prince (knee), who missed Sunday's regular-season finale against Detroit, is expected to be available for Saturday's Game 1 against the Pacers.

Across 80 appearances in the regular season, Prince averaged 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.1 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Prince recorded six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 victory over the Pelicans.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Posts solid line
Rotowire
Prince contributed 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 win over the Suns.
After scoring a combined 10 points in his previous two outings, Prince put together a solid all-around line in the win. He's doing enough to warrant a stream in deeper formats, posting averages of 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers on 53.3 percent shooting from the field over his last seven outings.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Struggles with shot
Rotowire
Prince contributed three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to Phoenix.
Prince has been held to single-digit points in four of his last five games. Although he's had a decent workload of 29.8 minutes per game in March, Prince's fantasy appeal has mostly been limited to deeper formats with averages of 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Career-high five steals Saturday
Rotowire
Prince recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and five steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pacers.
The veteran wing set a new career high in steals while extending his streak of games with at least one three-pointer to 10. While Prince isn't a consistent scoring threat, he is averaging 9.4 points, 3.8 boards, 2.4 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch, offering some fantasy appeal in deeper season-long formats and providing a solid DFS floor.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Scores 13 points in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Prince recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to Orlando.
Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the Bucks, combining for 63 points in this two-point loss. Still, Prince made his presence felt in this game, mainly due to his outside shooting. This was the first time he surpassed the 10-point mark since Feb. 20, but with double-digit points just three times since the end of the All-Star break, it's hard to trust Prince as a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

Rotowire
Prince (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Miami, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Prince didn't play against the Wizards on Friday due to a left ankle sprain.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Hits for 19 in loss
Rotowire
Prince produced 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Monday's 125-111 loss to the Warriors.
The veteran forward delivered his best scoring performance since he dropped 23 points in Charlotte on Nov. 16, while his eight boards represented his best showing on the glass since Nov. 13. Prince could be playing for his starting job right now -- with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) unavailable, Kyle Kuzma has started the last two games, but one of Prince or Kuzma will likely head to the bench once Antetokounmpo gets healthy. Prince has scored in double digits in seven of the last 12 games, averaging 10.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 threes over that stretch in 27.6 minutes a contest.
