Prince received his second DNP-CD of the season during the Grizzlies' 102-91 win versus the Suns on Wednesday.

Analysis:

With Courtney Lee (concussion) returning to the lineup and reassuming his starting role, Prince got the night off after filling in admirably as the starter for two straight games. Coach Dave Joerger clearly still values Prince, but he also made it clear during the preseason that he plans to limit the veterans minutes so that he's fresh come playoff time. During Prince's two starts he averaged 8.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 25 minutes per game, and even if he's thrust into a more prominent role due to injuries, it's hard to envision him becoming a relevant fantasy option outside of the very deepest leagues.
