Holiday ended with 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-95 loss to the Heat.

Holiday has had trouble staying healthy himself this season, missing 11 games for various reasons, but he's on pace to set a new career high in made threes per game while delivering more than seven assists per game for the first time since 2018-19.

Holiday ended with 27 points (10-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 victory over the Hawks.

Holiday has been dealing with an illness for quite some time now, but hopefully, this is a sign that he is returning to full health.
