Rare double-double Tuesday Holiday totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 victory over the Nets.
Impact Holiday recorded just his third double-double of the season, continuing his recent uptick in production. He has been the 42nd-ranked player over the past month, averaging 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game. He has recorded at least one steal in seven of the past eight games, something that should buoy his overall value if he can sustain it.

Solid all-around effort Holiday closed Friday's 133-129 win over the Wizards with 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
Impact Holiday was extremely efficient on offense, missing just three shots from the field but also contributing at a decent rate in categories such as rebounds and assists. Even though Holiday has a secondary role on offense behind established offensive weapons such as Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, he can create havoc on offense from time to time. This was his seventh appearance with 20 or more points in the current campaign.

Good to go against Washington Holiday (elbow) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Holiday will return to action Friday after missing Boston's previous contest with an elbow injury. The veteran guard will likely replace Al Horford in the starting lineup against the Wizards.

Ruled out for Wednesday Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact With Holiday set to watch Wednesday's game from the sidelines, Sam Hauser could be looking at a spot-start and there will be more minutes available for Payton Pritchard. For now, Holiday should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Questionable for Wednesday Holiday is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to a right elbow sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Holiday's recent shooting struggles may be explained by the injury, but the severity remains unclear. While the Celtics may be down a point guard, Jaylen Brown (back) isn't on the injury report and should return following a one-game absence.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Modest production in blowout Holiday ended with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact Even with Jaylen Brown (back) sidelined, Holiday wasn't able to score in double figures for a second straight game. He's averaging his fewest points per game since his rookie season, and outside of a career-high 6.0 rebounds per game, Holiday is averaging near career-low marks in every major category. The point guard still does enough on a nightly basis to warrant a roster spot, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be a top-30 option like he's been in previous years.

Jrue Holiday's selfless play is not unexpected, but it's worthy of a salute, because he is the Celtics' glue - The Boston Globe There aren’t a lot of decorated players who are willing to shape-shift based on what their team needs in a particular circumstance.

Goes for 20 points Monday Holiday supplied 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 118-112 victory over the Pelicans.
Impact Holiday reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Jan. 17, and while scoring isn't a primary source of his fantasy value, these performances certainly boost his stock a bit. The veteran guard might hold a secondary role in an offensive scheme where Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown lead the way, but he still averages 13.6 points per game in January. Plus, he has scored in double digits in six of his last eight appearances.

Out Sunday Holiday (elbow) will not play Sunday versus Houston, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Holiday's lingering elbow sprain will sideline him Sunday, but it's unclear if he aggravated the injury during a seven-point showing in Friday's loss to Denver. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely step into large roles, with the latter being a top candidate to enter the starting lineup.

Delivers 22 points in win Holiday logged 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 victory over the Spurs.
Impact The veteran guard scored 22 for the second straight game, tying his season high. Holiday's offensive contributions have declined in Boston as he defers to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on most nights, but he's produced at least 20 points in five of his last 14 games, averaging 14.9 points, 5.7 boards, 4.9 assists, 2.5 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch as he gets more comfortable with the Celtics.
