Holiday accumulated 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 victory over the Thunder.
Holiday exploded off the bench, torching the Thunder for a season-high 22 points in 27 minutes. While this was certainly a fantastic performance, managers should not be fooled. Before Wednesday, he had scored in double digits only three times all season. Outside of being a speculative streaming option, Holiday has little sustainable fantasy value.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Puts up 13 points
Rotowire
Holiday provided 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and four steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 121-116 loss to the Warriors.
Holiday had the hot hand off the bench for Houston, matching his season-best mark of 13 points. Monday's workload was also his largest of the season, breaking a streak of four straight games with minutes in the teens. He's worth keeping an eye on in case his role grows as a result of this strong performance.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Plays 11 minutes in win
Rotowire
Holiday ended Wednesday's 128-119 win over the Hornets with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes.
Holiday didn't see any playing time off the bench during Houston's last two games but played double-digit minutes for the first time this season Wednesday. Despite his slight uptick in playing time against Charlotte, he hasn't been a fantasy-relevant option to begin his time with the Rockets.

Rotowire
Holiday isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Heat.
Trae Young will replace Holiday in the starting five Tuesday after resting in the regular-season finale. Holiday may not receive significant playing time against Miami, as he has played fewer than five minutes in four of his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Hawks' Aaron Holiday: Offers steals impact off bench
Rotowire
Holiday compiled eight points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three steals, one rebound and one block in 21 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 win over the Wizards.
With Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) joining De'Andre Hunter (knee) on the sideline for Wednesday's contest, Holiday was able to claim a heightened role in the rotation after being limited to just two minutes in Tuesday's 123-105 win over Chicago. The 41-39 Hawks currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and are unlikely to supplant the 42-37 Heat for the top position in the Play-In Tournament, so head coach Quin Snyder could elect to dole out rest to players such as Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Bogdanovic and Hunter over the final two games of the regular season. If that's the case, Holiday may be able to maintain a 20-plus-minute role, but he typically hasn't been a reliable producer even on the rare occasions he's received extended playing time this season.

Hawks' Aaron Holiday: Dishes seven dimes in loss
Rotowire
Holiday closed Wednesday's 125-124 loss to the Timberwolves with four points (2-5 FG), seven assists, four steals and two rebounds in 16 minutes.
Holiday's seven assists and four steals were both season-high totals. However, the 26-year-old guard is averaging only 6.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances, and he'll likely fall out of the rotation as soon as Dejounte Murray (illness) is ready to play again.

Hawks' Aaron Holiday: Questionable Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a non-COVID illness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Holiday wasn't on the Hawks' initial injury report for Thursday's matchup, but he's dealing with an illness a few hours before tipoff. The 26-year-old has been a DNP-CD in two of the last three matchups, so his status shouldn't significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.

Rotowire
Holiday notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one assist, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 122-118 loss to the Hornets.
Holiday was barely visible during his 15 minutes on the floor, scoring just three points to go with very little else. Despite being in the rotation on most nights, Holiday's role is far too insignificant to warrant fantasy attention outside of the deepest formats.
