Active during shootaround Holiday (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks, but he was active during Boston's morning shootaround.

Impact Holiday has missed five straight contests due to a right shoulder sprain but is nearing a return to game action. If he's cleared, Holiday should start, as he hasn't come off the bench yet as a Celtic, but may face some limitations given his lengthy absence.

Won't play Monday Holiday (shoulder) is inactive for Monday's game against Atlanta, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Holiday will have until a rematch against Atlanta on Thursday to continue healing from a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder. Payton Pritchard is averaging 19.3 points, 6.8 assists and 4.0 made threes across his last four games in Holiday's stead, while Derrick White's (hand) status will need to be monitored since he is currently questionable for Monday's contest.

Out again versus Bulls Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Chicago, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Holiday's absence will mark his fourth straight due to a bruised right shoulder. Jaylen Brown (knee), and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) have also been ruled out, while Jayon Tatum (ankle) is questionable, so the Celtics could be going to their depth early Saturday. As a result, the likes of Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Jaden Springer and Oshae Brissett could be in line for healthier workloads than usual.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out against Detroit Holiday (shoulder) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pistons, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Impact Holiday's absence streak will extend to three games Friday due to a right shoulder contusion. Payton Pritchard should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Holiday's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Chicago.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Holiday (shoulder) won't play Wednesday against the Bucks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact It'll be the second straight game on the sidelines for Holiday, which could result in another start for Payton Pritchard. Holiday's next chance to play will come Friday against the Pistons, but with that one being the first of a back-to-back set, he should be considered questionable, at best.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out Wednesday Coach Joe Mazzula said he expects Holiday to be out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Holiday is expected to miss his second straight contest Wednesday while dealing with a right shoulder contusion. However, fantasy managers should still check for an official injury update before tipoff against Milwaukee.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Milwaukee Holiday (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Holiday is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a right shoulder contusion. Payton Pritchard started Boston's previous game in Holiday's absence.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Monday Holiday will not play Monday against Detroit due to a right shoulder contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, but Holiday played just 22 minutes Sunday. However, the Celtics have a comfortable lead at the top of the Eastern Conference, so it's not a surprise to see them err on the side of caution. With Derrick White available, he could see more usage in addition to Payton Pritchard.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes 10 dimes vs. Phoenix Holiday ended with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-112 victory over the Suns.

Impact Holiday registered double-digit assists for the fourth time this season as he left the scoring responsibilities to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Al Horford in Thursday's win. Holiday doesn't need to score or even facilitate as much as he did to be effective on a night-to-night basis, highlighted by his plus-26 point differential which was tied for best on the team with Tatum. Holiday is efficient in his limited shot opportunities and has shot 50.0 percent or better in nine of his last 10 games.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Well-rounded showing in return Holiday chipped in 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 win over the Jazz.

Impact Holiday returned after missing the previous game with left knee tendinopathy by leading all players in Tuesday's contest in assists to go along with a handful of rebounds and ending as one of three Celtics with 15 or more points in a well-rounded performance. Holiday has handed out eight or more dimes on six occurrences this season, now having tallied at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in 12 appearances.

MARCH 13

Not listed on injury report Holiday (knee) isn't listed on Boston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Holiday sat out Monday's win over the Trail Blazers but will return to action for the second night of a back-to-back set. With Jaylen Brown (back/pelvis) sidelined, Holiday could be in store for elevated usage. Over his last seven appearances, Holiday has averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32.9 minutes per game.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Monday Holiday (knee) will not play in Monday's game against Portland, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact It's not all bad news for the Celtics, however, as Derrick White (hand), Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (pelvis) have all been upgraded to available. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and Holiday could potentially return Tuesday against the Jazz. In the meantime, it's likely that Payton Pritchard steps into a larger role for Boston.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Monday Holiday is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers due to left knee tendinopathy, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact This is the first time Holiday has popped up on the injury report with a knee issue. His status for Monday's contest will likely depend on how his knee feels after testing it out prior to the game. The Celtics' entire starting lineup is listed as questionable besides Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), who has already been ruled out. Thus, the likes of Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Jaden Springer could be in line for bigger workloads than usual if Holiday is unable to give it a go.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 26 minutes in blowout win Holiday finished Sunday's 140-88 victory over the Warriors with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 26 minutes.

Impact With the Celtics embarrassing the Warriors in a 140-88 route, Holiday took an early seat on the bench during the third quarter and did not return for the remainder of the game. He'll be fresh heading into Tuesday's matchup with the Cavaliers, and managers can anticipate a more robust stat line, as long as that one doesn't also turn into a massive blowout.
