Jrue Holiday provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (7-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers against the Nuggets on Monday.

Holiday didn’t step into the starting unit when Ja Morant (hamstring) went down, but he did step up off the bench in this game. He fell shy of the triple-double, but he did set season highs for both rebounds and assists in the win. Portland is now 5-1 this season, and Holiday has been a big part of their early success. He should continue to see a boost in production off the bench until Morant returns.
