Holiday -- along with Maurice Harkless and a future first-round pick -- was traded Friday from the Kings to the Hawks for Kevin Huerter, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After trading for Dejounte Murray, the Hawks have opted to deal Huerter for more size and defense. Holiday should fit in as a swiss army knife, able to play any position on the wing in a three-and-D role. Last season between Indiana and Sacramento, the 33-year-old averaged 10.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 36.7 percent from deep.
Holiday registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 110-109 win over the Pacers. He also had four turnovers.
Although Holiday earned a win against his former Pacers squad, the 32-year-old did more harm than good -- racking up four turnovers while recording a minus-six in the box score. Holiday can be an occasional source of threes, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere.
Holiday (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Holiday will return to the lineup following a one-game absence. He'll presumably maintain a low-usage role. He's scored in double figures just once in his past seven appearances.

Kings' Justin Holiday: Ruled out for second half
Rotowire
Holiday (non-COVID illness) won't return to Saturday's contest against Utah, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Holiday started the game and produced three first-half points across nine minutes, but he was ruled out after halftime. Donte DiVincenzo took the court for the beginning of the third quarter in his place.
Holiday racked up 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.
Holiday shot well Wednesday, hitting six of 11 three pointers to mark his second-highest three-point total of the season. After being traded to Sacramento at the trade deadline, this was the 32-year-old's first solid outing with his new team, as he had averaged just 8.3 points while shooting just 29 percent from the field in his first three appearances with the Kings. Holiday will now look forward to continuing this level of production after the All-Star break.
Holiday is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Holiday will start in his Kings debut with Davion Mitchell now coming off the bench. Holiday averaged 28.9 minutes per game for the Pacers this season, and it appears he will have just as large of a role for the Kings in the coming months.
