Holiday notched 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 loss to Miami in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Holiday started off hot, scoring 10 points in the first quarter, but he couldn't maintain the momentum and faltered down the stretch. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) remains out for Monday's Game 4 in Miami, the Bucks will likely need better performances from Holiday and Khris Middleton to avoid a 3-1 hole when the series shifts back to Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: All-around performance
Rotowire
Holiday produced 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 victory over the Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Holiday was his usual efficient self in the Game 2 win, as he shot a respectable 52.6 percent from the field and registered only three turnovers to his 11 assists. The All-Star guard has now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games and has reached that milestone for the 10th time in his playoff career. Holiday will look to continue his success creating for himself and his teammates as the series shifts to Miami for Game 3.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Good to go for playoffs
Rotowire
Holiday (rest) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Holiday missed back-to-back contests to end the regular season due to rest purposes, but as expected, he's full go ahead of the playoffs. Across 67 regular-season appearances, the All-Star point guard averaged 19.3 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 32.6 minutes per game.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Getting rest again Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Raptors.
Holiday joins a herd of Bucks who will sit out the finale and gear up for the team's postseason run. As a result, look for a number of the team's depth players to log heavy workloads against what will be several reserve players for the Raptors as well.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Resting Friday
Rotowire
Holiday has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis for rest purposes.
The Bucks clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference on Wednesday, so Holiday will get a breather after posting double-doubles in his last two appearances. Whether he'll suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against Toronto is unclear.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Dices up Bulls in win
Rotowire
Holiday logged 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 15 assists, eight rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 105-92 win over the Bulls.
Holiday was responsible for 23 of Milwaukee's 39 buckets through his scoring and facilitating Wednesday. He had seven turnovers but carried the Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (knee). Holiday now has five games with 15-plus assists in his career, with Wednesday's being his first since 2020.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Efficient line in victory
Rotowire
Holiday chipped in 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 victory over the 76ers.
The Bucks' leading assist man deferred more to Khris Middleton in that area Sunday, but Holiday delivered for fantasy managers in the field-goal percentage and steals categories. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Holiday, who mustered only six points on 2-for-8 shooting against the Celtics on Thursday following a season-high 51-point performance versus the Pacers on Wednesday.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Goes for season-high 51 points
Rotowire
Holiday recorded a career-high 51 points (20-30 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT) to go with eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 149-136 victory over the Pacers.
With Khris Middleton (knee) getting the night off, Holiday was expected to settle in as the No. 2 scoring option for Milwaukee, but he surprisingly upstaged Giannis Antetokounmpo in a game in which the two-time MVP produced an eye-popping line of his own (38 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists in 32 minutes). The career-best scoring outburst to go along with ample production in other categories was a welcome sight from Holiday, who had seen a bit of a lull in his numbers prior to Wednesday's contest. He hadn't scored more than 19 points in any of his previous 10 games while shooting just 43.6 percent from the field in that stretch, but Holiday certainly rewarded fantasy managers for their patience.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Holiday (personal) isn't listed on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers.
Holiday was away from the team for Monday's win due to personal reasons, but he's been left off the injury report for Wednesday, suggesting the Bucks will have their point guard back against Indiana. Over his last nine appearances, Holiday has averaged 12.9 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Ruled out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Holiday will not play Monday against the Pistons for personal reasons.
This will be Holiday's first game on the sidelines since March 7. With Milwaukee's starting point guard unavailable, we can expect to see a healthy workload for Jevon Carter. Carter will be a popular streamer for points, three-pointers, assists and steals.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Holiday had 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 win over Toronto.
Holiday scored fewer than 13 points for the fourth time in his past six games, a period in which he is well outside the top 100. His poor production couldn't come at a worse time for managers, especially those battling in their fantasy playoffs. With that said, he remains inside the top 40 for the season, delivering a healthy serving of assists, steals and three-pointers on most nights.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Posts double-double in loss
Rotowire
Holiday produced 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 loss to Indiana.
Holiday posted his first double-double since March 4 and his 14th of the season. Coming into the contest, the All-Star was shooting just 35.2 percent from the field over his past four games, so seeing him bounce back offensively was encouraging. Even when his shot isn't falling, Holiday is still a valuable fantasy asset due to his defensive prowess, and he's proven that by notching at least one steal and one block in each of his past five appearances.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Struggles with shot in victory
Rotowire
Holiday ended with 12 points (4-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Suns.
Although Holiday nailed all four of his free-throw attempts, his stroke was ice-cold elsewhere. He failed to convert a single three-point attempt and shot 28.5 percent overall in the win. Tuesday marked the fifth straight game where Holiday failed to score 20 points or more, and although his secondary numbers remain steady, his shooting stroke has failed him over the past four games.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Stuffs stat sheet Monday
Rotowire
Holiday totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 133-124 victory over the Kings.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (46 points) and Khris Middleton (31 points) carried the Bucks on the offensive end, resulting in Holiday taking more of a back seat in the scoring column. The veteran point guard still managed to bring value for fantasy managers with his outputs in the assists, rebounds and blocks columns, narrowly exceeding his season-long averages in each category.
Holiday posted 18 points (7-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Holiday didn't shoot particularly well against the Warriors, but he still turned in a strong performance, falling just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. The point guard actually shot better from beyond the arc (4-for-11) than from two-point range (3-for-11), and at least half of his shot attempts have come from deep in four straight games. Holiday's 6.4 three-point attempts per game this season are easily a career high, but he's still managing to shoot 47.3 percent from the field overall.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Decent stat line in win
Rotowire
Holiday supplied 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 win over the Nets.
Holiday returned from a one-game absence due to a neck injury, and while he wasn't as dominant as he's proven he can be in past games, he still posted a decent stat line while contributing on both ends of the court. The All-Star guard is averaging 20.6 points, 7.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game since the start of February.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Good to go Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) will suit up for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Holiday sported a probable tag on the initial injury report, so seeing his upgrade to available against the Nets is not surprising. That said, Brooklyn will be without a number of its regulars in Thursday's starting lineup, so the fantasy risk changes from injury to blowout potential. Jevon Carter should retreat to a bench role with Holiday back in the mix.

Holiday (neck) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Holiday took the night off Tuesday with a neck soreness label, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee/illness) on the sidelines. The pair of stars are both expected back in action Thursday, presumably sending Jevon Carter and Bobby Portis to their usual reserve roles.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Magic.
Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) on the sidelines. Jevon Carter figures to be the most likely candidate to start at point guard in Holiday's absence, but the Bucks will need plenty of contributions from different players to mitigate the loss of their two top playmakers.
