Taurean Prince out vs. Pelicans

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without the small forward as they return to action in New Orleans.

Taurean Prince has only appeared in two of the last eight games for the Cleveland Cavaliers and that will be come two of nine Friday. The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without the veteran small forward when they take on the Pelicans.

Taurean Prince has appeared in 17 games (6 starts) since being acquired from Brooklyn earlier this season. Prince has been a somewhat productive veteran for an injury-riddled Cavs team. The 26-year old forward is averaging 8.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists on 36.6% from the field and 40.6% from deep. Prince has increased his three-point attempts by more than half an attempt since coming over from the Nets (3.1-3.8).

The Cavs are also expected to see the return of Larry Nance Jr. Friday while Kevin Love and Darius Garland remain questionable.
