Hawks likely starting Taurean Prince on Sunday in Game 1
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince and shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. are expected to start against the Washington Wizards on Sunday, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer.
What It Means:
Prince getting the nod with the first unit likely means Kent Bazemore will be brought off the bench for Game 1 of the first-round Eastern Conference matchup. With Paul Millsap healthy, Prince won't carry the same upside he flashed throughout the final two-plus weeks of the season, but he could still be worth a DFS roll on Sunday.
numberFire's metrics have Prince pegged for 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 3-pointers in 28.7 minutes versus Washington in Game 1.
