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.

After coming off the bench in his first two games back from a strained calf, Holiday is back in the starting lineup on Thursday. His promotion comes at the expense of Caleb Love, who should still play solid rotation minutes off the bench.

Holiday came off the bench for a second straight game after making his return from nearly a two-month absence on Sunday. However, he started the second half in place of Caleb Love, who joined the starting lineup with Deni Avdija out. Holiday will eventually return to the starting lineup, and his jump in minutes from 16 on Sunday to 21 in this game indicate that is closer to happening. Holiday could be back starting against the Hawks on Thursday, which will result in a value boost for him.

After missing nearly two months with a strained calf, Holiday was back in the Trail Blazers’ rotation on Sunday. He played 16 minutes off the bench, with the minutes limit preserving some of Sidy Cissoko’s playing time. Cissoko remained in the starting lineup and finished with five points, two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 28 minutes. As Holiday continues to ramp up his activity, there will likely come a point where he and Cissoko switch roles.

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.

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.
