Holiday recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 103-86 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Just like the regular season, Holiday had a low usage rate on the offensive end while Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White did most of the heavy lifting offensively. Holiday is coming off an underwhelming regular season by his standards with 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 three-pointers on 44.4 percent shooting from the field.

Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
After playing in Tuesday's overtime win over the Knicks, Holiday, Derrick White (ankle), Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) will all be in street clothes for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set. Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman and Luke Kornet figure to handle increased roles with most of Boston's regulars sidelined.

Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Holiday is managing a right shoulder impingement, so it remains to be seen if the Celtics have an eye toward holding him out on the second part of their back-to-back Wednesday against the Magic. Even so, the veteran floor general should take on his usual duties Tuesday. Holiday is averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes while shooting 43.8 percent from three-point land through his last 10 contests.

Rotowire

Holiday impacted both sides of the floor Monday against the Grizzlies, adding seven rebounds and seven assists to his 18 points. The veteran guard's numbers may be down across the board this season.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Drops 21 on Spurs
Rotowire
Holiday racked up 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 victory over San Antonio.
The veteran guard delivered his best scoring effort since March 14, and just his second game with 20-plus points since the calendar flipped to 2025. Holiday's 11.1 points per game this season is his lowest output since he was a teenage rookie in 2009-10, but he remains a key part of Boston's rotation when healthy.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Dishes out season-high 12 assists
Rotowire
Holiday finished Saturday's 115-113 win over the Nets with 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes.
It was the first double-double of the year for Holiday, who dished out a season-high 12 assists in the absence of backcourt mate Derrick White (knee). Saturday's performance comes on the heels of Holiday dropping a season-best 25 points in Friday's win over Miami, so perhaps the veteran guard is turning a corner amid a tough year. Through his last eight appearances, Holiday has averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 32.1 minutes.
Holiday totaled 25 points (10-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 103-91 victory over the Heat.
Holiday not only surpassed the 20-point mark for the third time this season, but he finished with a season-high mark in scoring, as he took on a bigger responsibility on offense due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jaylen Brown (knee). This outing came out of nowhere for Holiday, though, as this was the first time he even surpassed the 15-point mark since the end of the All-Star break.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Collects three steals Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday tallied nine points (4-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 118-112 loss to the Thunder.
Since returning to action last Saturday in the Celtics' win over the Lakers after missing four consecutive games while recovering from mallet finger on his right hand, Holiday has logged three straight appearances of 30-plus minutes. As has been par for the course for most of the season, however, Holiday has taken on low usage rates in each of those contests, resulting in him averaging just 8.7 points and 2.3 assists per game during that stretch. Holiday still has some value as a streaming option for steals and three-pointers on light game days, but he no longer profiles as a must-roster player in most 12-team leagues at this stage of his career.

Holiday (finger) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday has missed the last four games for the Celtics due to a finger injury on his right hand. If the defensive-minded guard cannot play Saturday against the Lakers, Boston will likely continue to lean on Derrick White and Payton Pritchard to shoulder the load in the backcourt.
