Minnesota visits Milwaukee following Antetokounmpo's 45-point game

Milwaukee hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves after Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 45 points in the Milwaukee Bucks' 119-113 overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Downgraded to out Holiday (hamstring) has been downgraded from probable to out for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Holiday was initially listed as probable with a left hamstring contusion he presumably suffered during the Bucks' Christmas Day loss to Boston, but he's ultimately been downgraded to out. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but the point guard's next chance to suit up will come Friday against Minnesota. Khris Middleton (knee) is also out, so Milwaukee will likely turn to Grayson Allen, Jevon Carter and Pat Connaughton for heavy minutes against Chicago.

Listed as probable for Wednesday Holiday is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls with a left hamstring contusion.

Impact Holiday appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during the Bucks' Christmas Day loss to Boston, but the issue shouldn't prevent him from sitting out Wednesday. Over his previous five appearances, Holiday has posted 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 34.0 minutes.

Stuffs stat sheet in Xmas loss Holiday totaled 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 139-118 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Holiday was one of Milwaukee's best players in this lopsided defeat, but he did more than just scoring and also left his mark in other categories. The veteran floor general is averaging 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game since returning from a two-game absence in mid-December, and he should remain a reliable performer across all formats, especially with Khris Middleton (knee) out, as that elevates Holiday to being the second offensive option on the team behind Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Struggles to find shooting touch Holiday amassed 18 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 118-100 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Holiday put together his best play right away in the first quarter when he posted nine points on 3-for-8 from the field and 1-for-3 from downtown. He never truly got his shot to work as he wanted in this one, needing 14 attempts from the field and seven from the charity stripe to reach 18 points. However, Holiday continues to serve as one of the Bucks' key contributors on the season and is now averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals through 25 contests this year.

Near triple-double in loss Holiday finished Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers with nine points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes.

Impact Holiday recorded fewer than 10 points for the time since Nov. 25. While he failed to take on more of the scoring load with Khris Middleton (knee) out, Holiday's all-around performance still generated a quality fantasy night.

Records double-double Holiday provided 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 128-119 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Holiday's scoring numbers took a slight dip due to the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez combined for 72 of Milwaukee's 128 points, but he still provided value as a distributor and recorded double-digit assists for the second time this month, and the seventh time in the current season. An asset on both ends of the court for the Bucks, Holiday is averaging 22.4 points, 8.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in the current month.

Impact Holiday was coming off a two-game absence following a non-COVID illness, but he didn't miss a beat in his return and was one of the best performers for the Bucks in this one-sided win. Holiday has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his last eight games, including five games in which he registered at least 20 points.

Questionable Tuesday Holiday is questionable for Tuesday's game against Golden State due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Holiday has been a well-rounded contributor recently, averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game over his last four appearances. However, he's dealing with an illness that jeopardizes his availability against the Warriors. If the 32-year-old is unavailable Tuesday, George Hill and Jevon Carter are candidates to see increased run.

Leads team with 25 points Holiday amassed 25 points (9-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Holiday shouldered a significant portion of the offensive load in the loss, scoring at least 20 points for the fourth time in his past six games. He has been quietly going about his business once again, putting up top 35 value on the season, elevating to top 15 over the past two weeks. Khris Middleton went down with an ankle injury in this one, meaning Holiday could be tasked with a bit more on the offensive end moving forward.

Impact Holiday reached the 30-point mark for the second time this season, and he seems to have rediscovered his early-season form after missing four consecutive games in mid-November. He's scored in double digits in five games in a row and is averaging 22.8 points, 7.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds per contest during that stretch.
