Tayshaun Prince received treatment on his hip and started the second half.
This doesn't appear to be a serious issue for the 33-year-old forward. Prince made just 3.9 field goals during the regular season with Memphis and isn't a big part of their offense. May 5 - 2:43 PM

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince, who somehow had a double-double on Monday, hit 3-of-13 shots for seven points and three rebounds in Wednesday's win over the Thunder.

That's more like it. Prince is always worth keeping an eye on, but unless you're in a very deep league, chances are high that you can find a better player on your waiver wire.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince had a double-double with 12 points and 14 boards, adding, four assists and one block in 36 minutes against the Wolves on Monday.

He hasn't really been worth it in fantasy leagues and in is previous 20 games with Memphis, Prince averaged just 9.5 points, 4.7 boards, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 triples. He's not really on the radar in standard leagues.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince had 18 points and six rebounds on 9-of-15 shooting in Wednesday's tough win over the Clippers, as the Grizzlies quietly won for the 14th time in 15 games.

Prince tied his season high with the Grizzlies, but he needs to shoot lights-out in order to post a line like this one. He's been too inconsistent for fantasy owners to rely upon, but he does do enough to make him worth a look in deep leagues. But the reality is this line is about as much as he's capable of at this point in his career. He also suffered a right hand injury late in the game, but played through it.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

In one of his best performances with the Grizzlies, Tayshaun Prince scored 14 points in 28 minutes vs. the Magic on Sunday.

Prince knocked down two 3-pointers and added four rebounds, three assists, one steal and zero turnovers to round out his line. The Grizzlies are 9-3 since trading away Rudy Gay, and Prince's quiet, steady play at SF has been a big reason for their success.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

All five Grizzlies starters scored double-digit points in Sunday's win over the Nets, led by Zach Randolph's 16 points and 14 rebounds.

The Grizzlies held the Nets to 72 points in the sort of grind-it-out game that they relish. They've won seven straight games and now boast an 8-2 record since trading Rudy Gay and acquiring Tayshaun Prince and Ed Davis (scoreless in five minutes). Prince only had 11 points and one assist tonight, but his teammates have praised his offensive impact and it's quickly showing up in the stat sheet. As noted by NBA writer Jack Appleman, "The Grizzlies were 25th league-wide in assists-to-field-goals made before the trade and have been third since at 64 percent."

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies beat the Wolves with a balanced attack on Sunday, as Tayshaun Prince led the team with 18 points on perfect 8-of-8 shooting, with one 3-pointer.

Prince added three rebounds and one block in his best game since being traded from Detroit, though it must be noted that he only played 23 minutes, yielding to Austin Daye down the stretch. In a delicious scheduling twist, the Grizzlies play the Pistons in Detroit after the All-Star break, on Tuesday Feb. 19.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince scored six points on 3-of-12 shooting (no threes) with four rebounds, five assists, and one block in 35 minutes on Friday.

Prince hasn't changed his stripes in Memphis, making him a deep league asset only right now.
Feb 9 - 1:28 AM
Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince hit 3-of-9 shots for six points, two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes on Wednesday.

He played 37 minutes in his previous game for his new team and was much more effective in that one. He's still Tayshaun Prince, meaning he's getting old and hasn't been a must-own fantasy player in some time, but is worth keeping a close eye on as long as he's getting 30-plus minutes per game. On a side note, the Grizzlies complained that Prince was distracted at the line tonight when 2 Chainz and his entourage were walking to their seats near the start of the second half in Phillips Arena. "No Lie."

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince started and played 37 minutes on Tuesday, finishing with 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals on 5-of-12 shooting.

That's a ton of minutes and even an old guy like Prince has a chance for success if the minutes stay so high. He's not a must-own player, but could be very soon if he keeps getting this kind of run. Keep a close eye on him.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Coach Lionel Hollins confirmed Tayshaun Prince will start Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Prince played 32 minutes off the bench in his Grizzlies debut, a number he's likely to hover around again now that he's in a starting role. He scored 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go along with a block, and as usual, he's proving that he's largely a one-trick pony in fantasy circles. Owners in standard formats can do better. It's also bad news for Jerryd Bayless, whose run of fantasy relevance is waning as he heads back to the bench.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince made his Memphis debut on Friday, scoring 14 points with one rebound, three assists and one block in 32 minutes in a win over Washington.

He came off the bench, but he received plenty of time on the court with the usual starters. Prince should take over as the starting small forward in due time and it's usually exciting for fantasy owners to grab a new key role player, but his lack of production outside of points is going to limit his value. Owners in standard leagues should be able to do better.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince, Ed Davis, and Austin Daye will each play in Friday's game against the Wizards, but none of them will start.

Prince will move into the starting job eventually, but tonight is all about assimilating the new players into the team concept and we wouldn't expect them to play normal minutes. Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol will start, and if you're looking at Bayless, Allen, or Darrell Arthur, just realize that the new guys will cut into their prior workloads.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace said he would not have pulled the trigger on Wednesday's trade if he didn't get Tayshaun Prince back.

The Grizzlies are apparently high on Prince's all-around offensive game and the upgrade he'll provide on Rudy Gay's defense. Expect him to start at small forward and push for 30 minutes nightly. Fantasy owners should note that Prince was getting 32.4 minutes per game in Detroit, but still managed just 11.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He will be available for Friday's game against the Wizards, as will Ed Davis and Austin Daye.

Tayshaun Prince - F - Grizzlies

Updating a previous item, Tayshaun Prince, Ed Davis and Austin Daye are all likely to be out again for the Grizzlies on Friday.

Because of the complex nature of the trade and other parties of the deal having to pass their physicals, the Grizzlies are looking like they'll be shorthanded once again on Friday. Jerryd Bayless should play big minutes once again, while Tony Allen, Darrell Arthur and Chris Johnson should see an increase in minutes as well.
