Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game versus Dallas due to a right shoulder impingement, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Holiday is the lone player on Boston's injury report. He's been struggling lately, hitting 38.2 percent from the field over his last nine games. If he's unable to go, Payton Pritchard could step into a larger role for Boston.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Another single-digit scoring effort
Rotowire
Holiday totaled nine points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 victory over the 76ers.
It was another single-digit scoring effort by Holiday, who has now failed to reach double figures in four consecutive games and nine of his last 12 contests. The veteran floor general has started in each of his 43 appearances for the Celtics in 2024-25, and there doesn't appear to be any indication the team is ready to shake things up at point guard. Holiday remains a decent option in fantasy leagues, but he's clearly no higher than fifth in the pecking order when it comes to the top scoring options in Boston's lineup.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday sat out of Wednesday's win against the Clippers but will return to the floor to face the Lakers in Los Angeles. Although the veteran guard's numbers are down across the board, the 34-year-old is still a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game for Boston this season.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
After playing 27 minutes in Monday's win against the Warriors, Holiday will not be on the floor Wednesday for the Celtics in Los Angeles. The veteran guard is one of a few stars for Boston who will not play in this game, including Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe). With Holiday out, the defending champions could turn to Payton Pritchard to pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday has missed only six games this season for the Celtics but could be trending toward not playing in Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a lingering shoulder issue. Payton Pritchard could get more time on the floor if Holiday can't go against Los Angeles.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Muted performance in win
Rotowire
Holiday ended with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 125-85 win over the Warriors.
Holiday shot the ball really well Monday, but his fantasy managers will be disappointed with the low usage rate. That's been the case for most of the season, however. Through 10 January outings, Holiday has averaged 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers on 45.0 percent shooting.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Posts 19 points in win
Rotowire
Holiday registered 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 victory over the Nuggets.
With Derrick White (illness) sidelined, Holiday logged his best total since returning from a three-game absence, and he also matched his second-best assist total of the season during the victory. While Holiday occasionally hits impressive totals, those performances have been less frequent during his tenure with the Celtics. All of his metrics have fallen well below his results in Milwaukee, and the abundant talent in Boston's starting five can tend to dilute Holiday's opportunities.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Held in check
Rotowire
Holiday posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 loss to the Thunder.
This was a rough showing for Holiday, as he and Payton Pritchard combined to shoot 1-for-11 against the Thunder. Holiday has had a tough season overall, and he's been battling a couple of minor knocks. Through 30 regular-season contests, he's shooting 45.0 percent from the field with averages of 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Logs 25 minutes in return
Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) tallied 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four assists, three steals and one rebound across 25 minutes Tuesday in the Celtics' 125-71 win over the Raptors.
Holiday made his return after missing the previous three games with a right shoulder impingement. With the Celtics amassing a 37-point lead after three quarters, the veteran point guard wasn't needed for the final period and was eased back in with a lighter-than-normal minutes count. Holiday's numbers have been down slightly across the board in his second season in Boston compared to his first, in part because the Celtics have been leaning more heavily on Sixth Man of the Year frontrunner Payton Pritchard more frequently in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Holiday is all set to return from a three-game absence, meaning Sam Hauser will likely shift back to the bench. The Celtics are typically very cautious with their veterans, so Holiday could have some restrictions in his first game back.

Rotowire
Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Despite previous reports that Holiday would give it a go, the veteran point guard will end up missing his third consecutive outing due to a right shoulder impingement Sunday. With the 34-year-old joining Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) on the sideline, Sam Hauser will likely draw another start. Holiday's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Toronto.

Holiday will miss his first game since Dec. 4 due to a right shoulder impingement, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Friday versus Indiana.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Lands on injury report
Rotowire
Holiday is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a right shoulder impingement.
Holiday seemingly picked up the injury during his 16-point, eight-rebound performance against Orlando on Monday, putting him at risk of missing Wednesday's contest. Derrick White (hamstring) and Jayson Tatum (illness) are also questionable. Fantasy managers should check in on the Celtics' injury report closer to the team's 5:00 ET tipoff.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Quiet night Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday notched six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.
It was a quiet night for Holiday, who saw sixth man Payton Pritchard close the game Thursday instead as the trailing Celtics looked for a spark on offense in the fourth quarter. Holiday hasn't been consistent for fantasy managers lately, as he's logged a double-digit scoring figure in only five of his last nine games, a span in which he's averaging a modest 11.3 points, 4.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per contest. The 34-year-old veteran guard doesn't appear to be in much danger of losing his starting job as Boston's point guard, but Pritchard's emergence off the bench figures to cap Holiday's fantasy upside moving ahead.
