AARON HOLIDAY NEWS

Limited again Wednesday Holiday provided two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds in eight minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Pacers.

Impact Holiday continues to play a limited role off the bench, having appeared in only nine games all season. In those games, he is averaging 4.0 points and 1.3 assists in 9.0 minutes, well below what might be considered positive contributions.

Staying with Houston Holiday and the Rockets agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Holiday was one of the most coveted backup point guards on the market for contenders, so the Rockets will be thrilled to retain his services. In 78 appearances last season, Holiday averaged 6.6 points, 1.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 16.3 minutes.

Impresses off bench Holiday amassed 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-107 loss to Dallas.

Impact This was arguably Holiday's best performance in March. He's been playing sporadic minutes with the second unit, averaging 5.5 points, 1.9 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 13.4 minutes in March.

Sees 21 minutes Holiday finished Tuesday's 137-114 win over the Wizards with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact This was Holiday's largest workload since Feb. 14. He's had a quiet March so far, averaging 3.2 points and 1.7 assists in 10.6 minutes through nine appearances.

Productive off bench Wednesday Holiday finished with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The 27-year-old saw an increased role in the Rockets' backcourt once again with Fred VanVleet (thigh) sidelined, and Holiday produced his best scoring effort since he dropped 22 on the Thunder back on Dec. 6. He's scored in double digits in four straight games, his longest streak of the season, and Holiday is averaging 16.8 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 2.3 boards during that stretch while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (12-for-27) from beyond the arc. His run of fantasy relevance should come to an end once VanVleet is ready to return, however.

Busy scoring night Holiday produced 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 105-103 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Holiday and Amen Thompson (eight points, 4-5 FG, 13 rebounds, five assists) coexisted nicely Monday, with Holiday absorbing the offensive volume between the duo. In games when Holiday plays at least 25 minutes this season, he's averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Scores in double digits Friday Holiday totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The Rockets didn't have their best offensive showing Friday, but Holiday was one of several role players who stepped their game up off the bench. The lack of consistency is not surprising given the nature of his second-unit role, but under that same context, it's worth noting Holiday has scored in double digits in four of his last nine appearances.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive in loss Holiday contributed five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Friday's 122-95 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Holiday failed to reach any great heights in the loss despite playing at least 15 minutes for the ninth time in the past 10 games. He has scored a combined 12 points across the last four games, adding 12 assists and two steals. Outside of the deepest formats, Holiday is not someone who should be viewed as a viable fantasy target.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 26 mimutes in loss Holiday logged eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and two rebounds across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 134-127 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Holiday played more than 20 minutes for just the seventh time this season, sticking on the floor to close the game. Although the playing time is encouraging, he failed to make the most of his opportunity, at least from a production standpoint. Outside of being an occasional streaming option, Holiday has very little fantasy value.

Drops season-high 22 points Holiday accumulated 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Holiday exploded off the bench, torching the Thunder for a season-high 22 points in 27 minutes. While this was certainly a fantastic performance, managers should not be fooled. Before Wednesday, he had scored double-digits only three times all season. Outside of being a speculative stream option, Holiday has no sustainable fantasy value.

Moves back to bench Holiday will move back to the bench Saturday against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Holiday will move back to the bench with Fred VanVleet returning to the starting unit Saturday. Holiday is averaging 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game when deployed off the bench this season.

Starting sans VanVleet Holiday is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Holiday will replace VanVleet (thumb) in the starting five Wednesday. Holiday will make his first starting appearance this season and will likely be relied upon to play extended minutes with Amen Thompson (ankle) still out as well.

Plays well with second unit Holiday closed Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes.

Impact Holiday has been a significant part of Houston's second unit and has played really well in recent games. Over his last four outings, Holiday has averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest.

Puts up 13 points Holiday provided 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and four steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 121-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Holiday had the hot hand off the bench for Houston, matching his season-best mark of 13 points. Monday's workload was also his largest of the season, breaking a streak of four straight games with minutes in the teens. He's worth keeping an eye on in case his role grows as a result of this strong performance.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 11 minutes in win Holiday ended Wednesday's 128-119 win over the Hornets with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes.

Impact Holiday didn't see any playing time off the bench during Houston's last two games but played double-digit minutes for the first time this season Wednesday. Despite his slight uptick in playing time against Charlotte, he hasn't been a fantasy-relevant option to begin his time with the Rockets.

Offers steals impact off bench Holiday compiled eight points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three steals, one rebound and one block in 21 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 win over the Wizards.

Impact With Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) joining De'Andre Hunter (knee) on the sideline for Wednesday's contest, Holiday was able to claim a heightened role in the rotation after being limited to just two minutes in Tuesday's 123-105 win over Chicago. The 41-39 Hawks currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and are unlikely to supplant the 42-37 Heat for the top position in the Play-In Tournament, so head coach Quin Snyder could elect to dole out rest to players such as Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Bogdanovic and Hunter over the final two games of the regular season. If that's the case, Holiday may be able to maintain a 20-plus-minute role, but he typically hasn't been a reliable producer even on the rare occasions he's received extended playing time this season.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes seven dimes in loss Holiday closed Wednesday's 125-124 loss to the Timberwolves with four points (2-5 FG), seven assists, four steals and two rebounds in 16 minutes.

Impact Holiday's seven assists and four steals were both season-high totals. However, the 26-year-old guard is averaging only 6.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances, and he'll likely fall out of the rotation as soon as Dejounte Murray (illness) is ready to play again.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Holiday (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected, Holiday will be available after missing time with an illness. He's not expected to have a fantasy-relevant role.

Upgraded to probable Holiday (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Holiday should be available after missing the past two games. However, his role has been reduced lately, and over his past nine appearances, he's averaged just 3.2 points in 9.4 minutes.

Questionable against San Antonio Holiday (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Holiday could miss his third straight game Thursday due to an undisclosed injury. If he's ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up would be Monday's matchup with Charlotte.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Holiday (illness) is out Thursday against the Suns.

Impact The reserve guard is a late scratch due to an illness. His role has been reduced as of late, so his absence won't affect Atlanta's rotation much. Still, Trent Forrest could see some more action.

FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a non-COVID illness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Holiday wasn't on the Hawks' initial injury report for Thursday's matchup, but he's dealing with an illness a few hours before tipoff. The 26-year-old has been a DNP-CD in two of the last three matchups, so his status shouldn't significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.

FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts back to bench Holiday will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Holiday saw a spot start Monday in place of Trae Young (ankle), but with Young back in action he will rejoin the reserves. Holiday has not cleared 15 minutes of action since Jan. 14.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Holiday is starting Monday's contest against the Trail Blazers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Holiday will slide into Atlanta's starting lineup with Trae Young ruled out due to an ankle injury. This will mark the UCLA product's fifth start of the season. Across his four previous starts, Holiday is averaging 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 22.8 minutes per game.
