POR • Guard • #4

Holiday is available to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. While the veteran guard’s minutes will be limited, he could start. If Holiday starts, Sidy Cissoko may be the odd man out. Either way, Cissoko’s playing time will likely decrease.

Holiday was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. The 35-year-old point guard is now likely to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. Holiday is likely to be on a minutes restriction due to all the time he’s missed this season.

Holiday has not appeared in a game since November 14. However, unlike Friday when he was initially doubtful before being ruled out, he’s questionable for Sunday. Given the time missed, Holiday will likely be under a minutes restriction whenever he’s cleared to return.

Initially doubtful for Friday’s game, Holiday is now officially out. As has been the case since the veteran guard’s injury, Deni Avdija will continue to serve as Portland’s primary playmaker.

Sidelined since November 14, Holiday was cleared to resume on-court activities on New Year’s Day. He’s making progress, but the doubtful tag suggests that Holiday won’t be available on Friday. Deni Avdija will run the show as long as the Trail Blazers are shorthanded on the perimeter, and he’s played at an All-Star level this season.

While Holiday was cleared to resume on-court activities on New Year’s Day, he still is not ready to return to game action. Deni Avdija has filled in as Portland’s primary playmaker and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. And that may be his role after Holiday returns; Deni has been that productive for the Trail Blazers.

Holiday has been out for over a month with a calf injury, but appears to be inching closer to a return. His exact timeline will “be determined based on functional response to loading and updated accordingly.” There’s a chance he’s back on the court as early as next week, which would mean Sidy Cissoko moves back to a smaller role in the rotation.

A little over a week after it was reported that he was doing some non-contact work in practice, Holiday still has not reached the point where he can return to game action. The Trail Blazers will continue to rely on Deni Avdija to run the offense, with Jerami Grant staying in the starting lineup.

Holiday’s continued absence means Deni Avdija will remain the primary playmaker for the Trail Blazers. Already rostered in most leagues, Avdija boasts an even higher fantasy ceiling with Holiday unavailable.

Holiday has not appeared in a game since November 14. While he was due for a re-evaluation early next week, interim head coach Thiago Splitter said on Saturday that the veteran guard is still limited to non-contact work. Holiday’s absence has led to Deni Avdija spending more time as the primary playmaker, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Holiday was initially listed as questionable for Friday’s game against the Warriors, but he won’t be available after missing the last two games with a right calf strain. The 35-year-old guard is set to miss at least the next 1-2 weeks after the latest update from the team. With Shaedon Sharpe (calf) also out, the Trail Blazers will be significantly shorthanded. Jerami Grant, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija all stand to see increased usage and minutes.

Holiday and Sharpe will remain out, which will open up opportunities across the roster. Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love should see extra playing time at guard, while Jerami Grant and Kris Murray should see more run at forward. Deni Avdija should operate as the Blazers’ de facto point guard, and he finished with a 32/11/11 triple-double on Wednesday. Grant should get a boost in offensive usage as one of the team’s go-to scoring options.

Holiday has missed Portland’s last two games with a strained right calf. With Shaedon Sharpe also out for Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls, the Trail Blazers turned to Deni Avdiaj to run the show offensively. Avdija will have high fantasy value regardless of Holiday’s availability, but his ceiling is higher when he’s effectively the lone playmaker.

Holiday is dealing with a right calf strain that also kept him out of Tuesday’s game against the Suns. Jerami Grant replaced Holiday in the starting lineup Tuesday, but he’s questionable for Wednesday’s game. Shaedon Sharpe is doubtful, which could leave the Trail Blazers shorthanded against the Bulls.

Holiday was initially doubtful for Tuesday’s game, so the downgrade in status is unsurprising. Jerami Grant has been his replacement in the starting lineup, with Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe spending more time on the ball as playmakers.

Holiday did not play in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Mavericks, with his absence impacting multiple players. Jerami Grant moved into the starting lineup, with Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe handling most of the playmaking responsibilities. Expect a similar approach if Holiday cannot play on Tuesday.

Added to the injury report Sunday afternoon, Holiday is now out for the Trail Blazers’ final game of Week 4. His absence should result in more minutes for rookie Caleb Love, but he is not guaranteed to start. What fantasy managers can bet on is Deni Avdija having the ball in his hands even more, as he is Portland’s best healthy decision-maker.

Holiday popped up on the injury report as questionable with right calf soreness mere hours before Sunday’s game against the Mavericks. The Trail Blazers would be missing much of their star power if Holiday is out with Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson also on the shelf.

Holiday was at his best when it mattered most, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter to help Portland complete its rally from 24 points down to hand Oklahoma City its first loss of the season. The veteran guard has fit into his new situation seamlessly, and his fantasy value has benefited. Holiday is providing top-50 fantasy value in nine-cat formats, bouncing back from a disappointing 2024-25 campaign.

The move from Boston to Portland seems to have brought Holiday’s fantasy value back to life. He’s scored at least 21 points in three consecutive games, something the veteran guard did not do last season. Still rostered in just 54 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Holiday is providing third-round value in nine-cat formats. Of course, there’s the question of what will happen once Scoot Henderson returns from his hamstring injury, but fantasy managers should not worry about that right now. If Holiday is on your waiver wire, pick him up.

Make that back-to-back games now for Holiday, for which he’s registered at least 21 points, five rebounds, six assists, and three three-pointers. The two-time NBA champion is enjoying a bit of a bounce-back season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, now operating as a high-usage point guard for Portland after mostly taking a backseat in Boston in previous seasons. Portland has played well through four games, and if it continues to win games, it’s easy to see Holiday remaining in a crucial role for the Blazers.

Holiday needed only 28 minutes of game action on Friday to come away with his first double-double of the season. He led all players in assists, and although he wasn’t very efficient from the field, he still reached double digits as a scorer. It’s difficult to project what the Trail Blazers’ rotation will look like throughout the season, but for now, Holiday is functioning as the starting point guard and he should continue to have the basketball in his hands quite often.

While Holiday did record seven assists in his preseason debut on October 8, Thursday’s performance was his best for scoring and making plays for others. The veteran guard was efficient against the Jazz, including shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. After a subpar fantasy season with the Celtics, Holiday may be in a good position to bounce back, especially with Scoot Henderson (hamstring) unavailable to begin the regular season. With a Yahoo! ADP of 111.2, Holiday may be slept on by many fantasy managers.

Holiday, acquired from the Celtics during the offseason, only played 17 minutes in his unofficial Trail Blazers’ debut. The veteran guard did not shoot the ball well, but he was solid otherwise, making plays for others and committing just one turnover on the night. With Scoot Henderson likely to miss the start of the regular season with a torn left hamstring and Damian Lillard out for the season as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles, Holiday will have to take on point guard duties for the foreseeable future. After seeing his fantasy value take a hit in Boston last season, Holiday will be worth the investment in Portland.

Portland opens its preseason without Scoot Henderson, who will likely miss the start of the regular season after suffering a torn left hamstring just before the start of training camp. Holiday, acquired from the Celtics this summer, will be in the starting lineup alongside Sharpe. The eye-opening omission from the starting lineup is Deni Avdija, who will come off the bench after enjoying the best season of his NBA career. Grant is back after missing a significant amount of time, but Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has not finalized his starting five for the regular season.

One year after winning a championship and signing a contract extension, Holiday is on his way out of Boston. The 35-year-old point guard was traded back to the Trail Blazers in a move that saves Boston enough cap space to potentially get under the second apron. Holiday averaged 11.1 points per game, 4.3 rebounds per game and 3.9 assists per game last year. He was ranked 107th in per game value by Basketball Monster. The Trail Blazers were aggressive in re-acquiring Holiday, who should have a major role with the team next year.

Between the hamstring injury that sidelined him for the final three games of the first round and his inconsistent production when available, this was a disappointing postseason for Holiday. Friday’s performance was his worst, with the veteran guard shooting 12.5 percent from the field. Unfortunately, Holiday’s 2024-25 season was underwhelming regarding fantasy value, as he finished outside the top-100 for the first time since his rookie season (2009-10). Holiday’s fantasy prospects next season will be impacted by Jayson Tatum (Achilles) likely missing a significant amount of time, but that may also mean an expanded role for Payton Pritchard. Pritchard finished Friday’s loss with 11 points, two rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in 28 minutes.

Holiday fully participated in Saturday’s practice after missing the final three games of the Celtics’ first-round series against the Magic. He’s absent from the injury report for Monday, so Boston will have its full rotation available to begin the second round. Due to Holiday’s return, Al Horford will come off the bench.

When asked about Holiday’s recovery, head coach Joe Mazzulla said, “He was able to do everything that we worked on. He’s getting better everyday.” Al Horford has been starting in place of Holiday and will likely remain in that role for Game 1 against the Knicks on Monday if Holiday remains out. The injury report should provide a clearer update on Holiday, but this is a positive development for his chances of returning after missing Games 3-5 against the Magic.
