Jrue Holiday Won't Play On Wednesday
Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also misses the game. Pritchard recently bagged his first double-double of the campaign and put up 23 points against Detroit on Monday.

Jrue Holiday Won't Play On Sunday
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) won't play on Sunday versus Orlando. He didn't do much on the scoring end in the first two games of the series, combining for only 10 points. Still, he was certainly missed on Friday night in the loss to Orlando, especially on the defensive end. Without Holiday in the lineup, Al Horford, who had six points, seven rebounds, and two blocks in Game 3, will presumably stay in the starting lineup, with Luke Kornet potentially remaining more involved from off the bench.

Jrue Holiday Classified As "Day-To-Day"
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) is considered "day-to-day." The Celtics' injury report for Sunday's meeting with the Orlando Magic hasn't been released. However, it's safe to say Holiday will be listed on it heading into that one. The 34-year-old averaged only 10 points in the first two games of the series. Yet, he was certainly missed on the defensive end in the Game 3 loss on Friday night. If Holiday can't suit up for Game 4, Al Horford, who is coming off a six-point, seven rebound, two-block effort, will likely remain in the starting lineup, with Luke Kornet expected to receive more minutes from off the bench.

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out For Friday Night's Game 3 Against Orlando
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday night's Game 3 against the Orlando Magic. Holiday appears to have strained his hamstring during Game 2 as he hasn't been listed on the injury report prior to today. The 34-year-old hasn't been putting up many points this series but has been facilitating well with five assists in Game 1 and six assists in Game 2. In Holiday's absence, veteran big man Al Horford will get the start. Horford also got the start in Game 2 filling in for the injured Jayson Tatum and put up nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds. With Tatum back in the lineup Horford may not grab 10 rebounds again, but he should be able to provide some small value to fantasy managers and DFS players looking to take a shot.

Jrue Holiday Tagged As Questionable For Friday
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) has been added to the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Friday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. The two-time NBA champion is dealing with a right hamstring strain. Holiday could join Jayson Tatum (wrist) on the sidelines, meaning Boston may have to play without two regular starters on Friday night. Sam Hauser is likely to replace Holiday in the starting unit, while Payton Pritchard will get more work off the bench.
