Holiday contributed 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 124-97 win over the Bulls.
Holiday had arguably his best all-around game of the season during his return from a two-game absence due to a minor ankle injury. The opposition had a lot to do with this, but what better way to ease yourself back in than against an inferior opponent? Anyone rostering Holiday will be hoping he can build off this performance, especially in terms of his assist numbers and efficiency.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday has missed back-to-back games due to a right ankle sprain, but he was able to go through a workout Monday and could return to game action Tuesday. However, if Holiday is sidelined again, Sam Hauser, Dalano Banton and Payton Pritchard would be candidates for increased roles.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Likely out Friday
Rotowire
Holiday (ankle) was downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game in Orlando, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
The 33-year-old was initially considered probable for Friday's contest, but his ankle sprain has apparently worsened since the release of Thursday's injury report. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard should handle point duties if Holiday is sidelined as expected.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Probable to face Orlando
Rotowire
Holiday is probable to face the Magic on Friday due to a right ankle sprain.
Holiday is going through a rough patch of late, scoring 11 or fewer points in each of his last three appearances while shooting 30.8 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from three in that span. Derrick White could slot into the point guard role and Al Horford might slot into the lineup if Holiday can't play Friday, but the probable tag suggests he'll be available.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Held in check against Memphis
Rotowire
Holiday amassed seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 victory over the Grizzlies.
This was a dud by Holiday's usual standards, but his lack of steals is a worrying trend. He's on pace to average 0.5 steals per game, and that would be a career-low mark by a mile, as he has never averaged fewer than 1.1 per game.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Strong all-around effort
Rotowire
Holiday logged 18 points (8-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 victory over Philadelphia.
Holiday recorded his fifth double-double of the season, but surprisingly he's recorded double-digit assists just once through his first 11 outings. The veteran playmaker continues to be a great two-way asset for the Celtics. Even though he holds a secondary role on offense -- and a minor one compared to the one he had with the Bucks in 2022-23 -- he's still a very productive fantasy alternative across all formats.
Holiday supplied 12 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Holiday led all Celtics players in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of five players with a double-digit point total during Monday's overtime loss to the Wolves. Holiday has been strong on the glass while also leading the team as a floor general, tallying at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in two games this season.
Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Holiday posted 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds and one block across 40 minutes in Saturday's 124-114 win in Brooklyn.
With fellow starter Derrick White (personal) out, the Celtics went big with Holiday as the lone guard in the starting lineup. He was the perfect floor general for the Celtics, distributing 10 dimes while controlling the pace of the game. If White doesn't play in Monday's game at Minnesota, expect another big assist night from Holiday, who had averaged just 4.0 dimes per game over the Celtics' first four contests.
Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Scores 11 in win over Wizards
Rotowire
Holiday finished Monday's 126-107 victory over the Wizards with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes.
Holiday has seen a downgrade in his offensive responsibilities compared to what he had in Milwaukee, and he will now operate as Boston's fourth-best scoring threat behind Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. There's no question Holiday can get it done on both ends of the court, but that reduction in usage rate and overall role will conspire against his fantasy upside. Of note, he has failed to reach the 15-point mark in two of his first three outings this season after averaging 19.3 points per game in Milwaukee last season.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Produces double-double in win
Rotowire
Holiday posted 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 119-111 home win over Miami.
Holiday's defensive effort will always be impressive. But his offensive production will probably be up and down as he competes for shots with star teammates Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. On Friday, Holiday shot well from the field, was a rebounding force inside and came close to a triple-double. He also looked for his shot early. Through two games, Boston has received very little from its bench. For Holiday, that has resulted in 35.5 minutes per contest. Expect huge minutes for Holiday moving forward.
