Holiday was one of Portland’s best offensive weapons on Monday. From a scoring standpoint, his three-point shooting led the way, but his ability to set the table for guys around him was also impressive. The veteran NBA champion didn’t have any defensive stats. However, he’s still arguably one of the better defensive guards in the league, and he’s bounced back with Portland after a lesser role and lower-producing final season in Boston. He’ll remain in a big role down the stretch of the regular season with the Blazers battling for Play-In Tournament seeding.

Holiday has been on a roll from deep recently, having made at least three three-pointers in each of his last five games. And in wins over the Clippers and Pelicans, he shot a combined 14-of-30 from beyond the arc. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for Holiday. For those whose leagues run through Week 24, the Trail Blazers play four games.

This was an offensive outburst for Holiday, which led to his third 30-point game of the season. This performance was only surpassed by his outing against the Grizzlies on March 4, where he contributed 35 points and eight three-pointers. Holiday has been a strong starter for the Blazers this season, though performances like this haven’t come often. He’ll look to carry some of this production into Thursday’s matchup with the Pelicans, which will be their final game of the week.

Holiday finished Friday’s defeat with his first 20-point game in two weeks, with his scoring output having decreased during the second half of March. After scoring 20 or more in five of Portland’s first six games of the month, the veteran guard was limited to 15 or fewer in seven straight before Friday. With Jerami Grant leaving Friday’s game with a calf injury, the Trail Blazers may need more offensive production from Holiday going forward, which could raise his ceiling. But only if he can take advantage.

After dishing out eight assists in a March 13 win over the Jazz, Holiday totaled seven assists in the two games that followed. The veteran point guard was more productive in that category on Wednesday, dishing out eight helpers while committing just one turnover. Add in the steals and three-pointers, and this was a good night for category league managers rostering Holiday.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played. He had an excellent night against the Jazz, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and providing good value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others. The veteran guard shot 70 percent from the field against the Pacers, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. While the defensive production was limited, that isn’t an issue for Holiday on most nights.

Holiday has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last six games. The 35-year-old point guard also has back-to-back double-doubles with 10 and 11 assists in his last two games. Holiday has provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out Week 19 against the Pacers on Sunday.

Holiday and Jerami Grant put on a show in Memphis, combining for 65 points on 24-of-38 shooting from the field. The former finished with a season-high point total while also reaching double figures in assists for the fifth time. Since the All-Star break, Holiday has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Trail Blazers play twice more in Week 19, starting with the Rockets on Friday.

While Portland did give up 135 points on Sunday, its offense was just as much of an issue. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 40 percent from the field, with four of the five starters shooting below 50 percent from the field. Holiday was the exception, and he’s scored at least 23 points in back-to-back games for the third time this season. As long as the Blazers remain without Deni Avdija (back), Holiday will have added fantasy value. Portland plays three games in Week 19, starting with Memphis on Wednesday.

Holiday led the Trail Blazers with 25 points in the loss to the Hornets on Saturday. The 35-year-old point guard quietly has scored at least 19 points in five of his last seven games. Holiday has provided ninth-round per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster. The Trail Blazers close out the week against the Hawks on Sunday.

Holiday did what he could in his limited time on the floor on Friday. A 54-point loss kept him to 25 minutes, during which he showcased his three-point shooting and finished as Portland’s leading scorer. There wasn’t much else that the two-time NBA champion did particularly well in terms of stats. But one would imagine that a more competitive game on Sunday against the Suns would provide Holiday with more opportunities to log big numbers.

Holiday’s 31 points in Thursday’s win over the Jazz were his most in a game since the 2023 season. The 35-year-old point guard was also just a rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double. While Holiday was able to turn back the clock against the Jazz, he’s provided just 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks heading into the All-Star break.

On a night when the Timberwolves were able to frustrate Deni Avdija (11/5/3/1) and limit him to 3-of-14 shooting, Holiday did what he could to pick up the slack. He’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and the 23 in Wednesday’s defeat were the most in a game for the veteran guard since October 27. However, while the 23/5/5 line with five three-pointers was solid, it was accompanied by six turnovers. Holiday did play both legs of Portland’s most recent back-to-back, but he should still be considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

Between the amount of time that he missed with a strained calf and the return of Scoot Henderson, Holiday still isn’t playing full starters’ minutes. However, his 28 minutes against the 76ers could have been higher, but Portland was in firm command early in the fourth quarter. And, as mentioned, with Henderson now in the fold, Holiday’s playing time may be capped the rest of the way. Scoot played 20 minutes on Monday, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, six assists and one steal.

Holiday certainly enjoyed seeing Memphis the last two days. In two Trail Blazers victories, he totaled 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting. While Holiday didn’t record any defensive stats on Saturday, the offensive output helps to compensate for that. He has been a top-50 player over the past week, but the playing time continues to hover in that 25-29 minute range. Portland plays three games before the All-Star break, including a back-to-back, which may not be ideal for those hoping to see Holiday play more.

Holiday was productive in his 25 minutes. He shot the ball well and made great use of the charity stripe en route to finishing as one of two Trail Blazers to score at least 20 points. Not to be forgotten, the veteran guard was one of Portland’s most impactful passers, and he’s likely to continue doing so in his current role. Holiday will have a chance to land another productive performance against the Grizzlies again on Saturday, should he be available on the second game of a back-to-back.

Holiday is back in the lineup after a one-game absence. As a result, Sidy Cissoko heads to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. The other four starters from Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers are unchanged.

Holiday is back after a one-game absence. His return will push either Sidy Cissoko or Jerami Grant to the bench, as the Trail Blazers remain without Deni Avdija. Of the two, Grant boasts a higher fantasy ceiling when brought off the bench than Cissoko.

Holiday missed Sunday’s game, but he could be back after just a one-game absence. Sidy Cissoko and Jerami Grant both entered the starting unit in Portland’s last game with Deni Avdija (back) and Holiday out. Avdija is doubtful, so if Holiday returns, Cissoko will likely return to playing a reserve role.

Holiday is away from the team for personal reasons, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Sidy Cissoko was the starter while the Trail Blazers were without Holiday and Jerami Grant, and that could be the case on Sunday.

Playing in Boston for the first time since being traded to Portland this past offseason, Holiday received a hero’s welcome on Monday. And while his playing time remains restricted, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line in 24 minutes of action. Since returning from a strained calf, Holiday’s most significant issues with his fantasy value have been his minutes and foul shooting. Over the past two weeks, he’s shot 57.1 percent from the line on 1.2 attempts per game. However, there shouldn’t be too much concern, given he’s making 81.3 percent of his attempts on the season.

Holiday’s production on the offensive end was one of the most important for Portland on Friday. He shot the ball well and contributed from behind the three-point line to finish as one of the team’s top couple of scorers. In addition to his passing, he set the table well for his teammates and finished as the Trail Blazers’ leader in assists. Despite the loss, the Blazers have built some momentum lately; they’ll continue to rely on Holiday’s veteran leadership to keep their season trending in the right direction.

Not long after he was announced as probable, Holiday is officially available for Thursday’s game. His return will likely push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, giving the two-way contract forward a role that’s unlikely to generate much fantasy value.

Holiday sat out the Trail Blazers’ January 18 win over the Kings, which was also the last time that Portland played. He’s on track to be available on Thursday, which could lead to Sidy Cissoko coming off the bench. However, Holiday has been under a minutes restriction when available, so the Blazers may choose to bring him off the bench.

With Holiday still working his way back from a strained calf, he is not to the point where he can play both games of back-to-backs. His absence coincides with Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury, so the Blazers may decide to slide Deni into the starting lineup. If not, Caleb Love is the likely replacement in the starting lineup.

Holiday is good to go after being upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Saturday. While he did start Thursday’s win over the Hawks, the veteran guard was limited to 21 minutes. Look for Holiday’s playing to be restricted as he works his way back from a strained calf.

Initially questionable, Holiday is on track to play Saturday night. While he has returned to the starting lineup, the veteran guard remains under a minutes restriction, having most recently played 21 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Hawks. Caleb Love will come off the bench if Holiday plays, but he’s still worth a look in deep leagues.

Holiday will likely continue to be listed as questionable ahead of games as he gets back to 100 percent. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so he will likely miss one of the games. Whichever that is, Caleb Love will likely start.

Holiday logged 21 minutes in his third game back from a calf injury. The veteran guard posted a balanced stat line in his limited minutes, contributing as a scorer, rebounder, and passer. And as expected, Holiday made several plays defensively to impact the game. His numbers should improve as his minutes increase, but for now, fantasy managers must be patient in his return from injury.
