Jrue Holiday Has Horrific Shooting Night
Jrue Holiday finished with eight points, nine assists and six rebounds over 38 minutes, but he took the circuitous route to get to his point total. He was a dismal 2-for-15 from the field, including 0-for-4 from behind the arc, while going 4-for-6 from the free-throw stripe. He also added two steals with a plus-12 rating, but he killed those in category-based fantasy formats. He'll try to atone in Friday's home contest against the defensively-challenged Brooklyn Nets, a team yielding 113.3 points per game.

Jrue Holiday Out Again On Tuesday Night
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) won't play on Tuesday versus Orlando. He was available for the first two games of the series with the Magic. Unfortunately, the veteran has missed the last two contests because of a hamstring strain. There was hope Holiday would be back by now. However, it appears Al Horford will be in line for another start, with the 38-year-old coming off a six-point, six-rebound, five-block showing in Game 4.

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.
