Jrue Holiday's 22 Points Is Not Enough On Monday
Jrue Holiday netted 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting on Monday when he filled the stat sheet in the one-point loss to the 76ers. Holiday handed out seven assists with five rebounds while swiping three steals with a block and he also connected on 2-for-8 shooting from three. It was hinted that the Pelicans may cut Holiday's minutes, but the guard played 34 minutes in this one and has played 30 or more in three of his last four games. Owners can hope this trend continues as he is playing some excellent basketball at the moment for the Pels.

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.
