Dishes out eight assists in win Holiday supplied 21 points (7-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and eight assists over 25 minutes during Monday's 130-106 win over the Hornets.

Impact Holiday turned in a solid all-around performance, continuing a seven-game run during which he's put up good secondary numbers to accompany an excellent 59.8 percent conversion rate from the floor. Holiday continues to lean on the mid-range jumper without much volume beyond the arc, but his cumulative shot attempts are often in the double-digits, more than making up for the lack of three-pointers.

Posts 24 points in loss Holiday registered 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Holiday finished as the Bucks' second-leading scorer in the contest behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, who put up 32 points. The veteran point guard has now posted 20-plus points in four of his past six games. Holiday continues to offer solid real-life and fantasy production with per-game averages of 18.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 boards, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.5 steals on the season.

Paces scoring attack Holiday supplied 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 122-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Holiday led Milwaukee in scoring on a night his squad was without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but it wasn't enough to get the job done. The UCLA product turned in an efficient performance overall, finishing with 20 or more points for the fourth time in six games while continuing to shoulder a heavy workload. Look for Holiday and Khris Middleton to remain Milwaukee's top two scoring options until Antetokounmpo is cleared to return.

Solid all-around effort Holiday had 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 131-107 loss to the Suns.

Impact Holiday carried the Bucks on offense alongside Khris Middleton due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's poor shooting performance, and the veteran point guard has now scored at least 20 points in three of his last five contests. Holiday also has two double-doubles in that span and is firmly entrenched as the team's third-best scoring option behind Antetokounmpo and Middleton. That, alongside his playmaking ability, makes him a reliable fantasy option regardless of the format.

Notches double-double Holiday accumulated 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 131-116 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Holiday's stat line is usually a sound barometer for the team's success, and that was the case again Tuesday in the Bucks' dominant road win. Although Holiday has posted a couple of clunkers since his extended absence in early-to-mid-January, he's rarely been lacking in the assist column. When he combines his prolific assist totals with a hot night beyond the arc, he stands out as one of the more productive fantasy guards.

Leads way with 27 points Holiday accumulated 27 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-113 win over the Clippers.

Impact Coming off of a relatively down game in Saturday's blowout win over Portland, Holiday bounced back with a monster effort as the Bucks pulled away late for another landslide victory. Over his last seven games since re-entering the starting five following an injury, Holiday is averaging 18.0 points, 7.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.0 threes while shooting 55.1 percent from the field and 48.3 percent from three.

Drains four treys in win Holiday recorded 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 112-98 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Holiday was deadly from beyond the arc and finished as Milwaukee's second-best scorer behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, who delivered a triple-double while putting up 33 points. It's worth noting that Holiday has seen an uptick in his scoring numbers of late and has delivered double-digit scoring figures in five of his last six appearances, averaging 17.2 points and shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from deep in that span.

Impact Holiday was efficient and contributed across the box score, but he still logged an ugly minus-20 during his time on the floor. His 32-minutes played led Milwaukee, which used all 14 active players on its roster Sunday by the conclusion of garbage time. Holiday will look to make a greater impact Tuesday against the Wizards.

Bounces back with double-double Holiday amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-108 win over the Knicks.

Impact Coming off of one of his worst games of the season Wednesday against the Cavs (four points in 32 minutes), Holiday responded with a well-rounded stat line, posting his first double-double since Jan. 5. Holiday's four three-pointers tied his season high, and he's now up to 38.4 percent from deep on the season. Across the board, Holiday's production is strikingly similar to his 2020-21 figures, though his free throw percentage (75.3% FT) is down slightly compared to last season (78.7% FT).
