Fantasy Analysis
Prince may not have had his best night shooting the ball, but he still contributed in other categories. Over his last five outings he's averaging 13.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. While those numbers aren't extremely impressive, they are good enough to make Prince a worthy No. 3 or 4 forward option in most Fantasy formats. (Updated 02/10/2012).

Joe Johnson scored 28 of his 30 points after halftime, including a tying 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left in regulation, and the Atlanta Hawks stunned the Detroit Pistons 107-101 in overtime Friday night.
The Pistons are one of the hardest teams to forecast heading into the 2011-12 regular season, but Tayshaun Prince should be easy to peg. His numbers have not varied much at all over the last seven seasons and even with a new coaching staff in place Prince should be in line for just about the same numbers again this season. Since 2004, Prince has averaged 13-14 points, 4-5 rebounds and 2-3 assists per game without fail with minimal variations in shooting percentages, blocks, steals or turnovers. Go ahead and look at his numbers. Like what you see? Barring a drastic change in scenario, that is just about what you are going to get. Expect him to once again serve as a viable low-end play in most standard formats as long as he can remain healthy. He won't be a difference maker, but his reliability can be very useful to Fantasy owners. (Updated 8/28/11)
