Offers little in starting role Holiday tallied just five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason victory over Milwaukee.
Impact With Dejounte Murray given the night off due to back spasms, Holiday slid into the starting lineup but failed to make the most of his opportunity. While he could be a regular part of the rotation, Holiday is well off the radar in fantasy leagues.

Starting Saturday Holiday is listed as Atlanta's fifth starter for Saturday's preseason game versus the Bucks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
Impact Holiday is getting the start with Dejounte Murray (back spasms) out. The 26-year-old guard averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 16.2 minutes across 63 games for the Suns and Wizards last season. Once Murray returns, Holiday will likely return to his bench role.

Signs deal with Hawks Holiday agreed to a one-year deal with the Hawks on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 25-year-old spent time on both the Suns and Wizards last season but is now set to back up the likes of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray next season in Atlanta. While this signing helps give the Hawks even more depth at the point guard position, Holiday is not someone to actively target in fantasy leagues next year.

Becomes unrestricted free agent Holiday was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Suns on Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Holiday spent the early portion of last season with the Wizards before being traded to the Suns in February. Overall, he averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.2 minutes. The 25-year-old has proven to be a good three-point shooter (37.3 percent for his career) but hasn't had much of an opportunity to establish himself as a lead guard. It's possible that rebuilding teams will be interested in developing him more.

Starting Sunday Holiday will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact The Suns are resting several regulars, so Holiday will get the nod at one guard spot. He'll be joined by Landry Shamet, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and JaVale McGee.

Fills stat sheet Wednesday Holiday racked up 16 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 113-109 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Holiday saw his most minutes in more than two weeks with Phoenix resting many of its regulars, and he responded with a strong all-around effort that included his highest point tally since Dec. 23. The fourth-year guard added seven dimes and six boards for arguably his best all-around effort of the campaign. Holiday came into the game with four DNPs over his previous six games, so he doesn't figure to be a major factor in the postseason for the Suns.

Won't play Friday Holiday has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Pelicans due to right ankle soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Holiday had an encouraging performance Thursday with Chris Paul (thumb) and Cameron Payne (wrist) sidelined, but he apparently picked up an ankle injury as well. All three of the aforementioned point guards will be sidelined for the second half of the Suns' back-to-back Friday, so Elfrid Payton and Landry Shamet should see increased run against New Orleans.
