  Holiday delivered 27 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and one steal across 46 minutes during New Orleans' 113-104 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal-round playoff series. Like Anthony Davis, Holiday left it all on the court in the Pelicans' season-ending loss, The veteran guard posted a series-high scoring total, and both his rebound and assist tallies were postseason bests. Holiday was locked in with his shot throughout the second season as well, failing to hit the 50.0 percent mark from the field in just two of nine games. The nine-year pro enjoyed a highly successful regular season, as well, tallying new personal bests in scoring (19.0), shooting percentage (49.4) and rebounds (4.5).

  05/05/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Holiday totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 119-100 victory over the Warriors. Holiday backed up his strong Game Two performance with another all-around gem Friday. He continues to play second fiddle to Anthony Davis but has certainly established himself as one of the elite off-guards in the league with his play over the last three weeks. He will look to maintain his focus as the Pelicans host the Warriors in Game Four on Sunday in what could prove to be a pivotal game in the series.

  Holiday scored 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt) while adding seven assists, three rebounds and three steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 119-102 win over the Trail Blazers in Game 3. It was actually his quietest game of the series so far, as Nikola Mirotic's red-hot shooting become the focus of the Pelicans' perimeter offense instead. Holiday's still averaging 23.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers through three games, and his numbers will likely bounce back Saturday in Game 4 as the team looks to complete the sweep.
