BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Justin Holiday has been a staple of Indiana's starting lineups all season long and that is not going to change any time soon unless he gets moved or Indy lands another wing before the deadline that moves Holiday to the bench. Holiday has started 31 of his 40 games played, is the clear go-to forward for the Pacers, and with Myles Turner injured and Domantas Sabonis taking care of the C spot odds are Holiday gets even more run and opportunities going forward.
Holiday is averaging a healthy 29 MPG over the season and that figure has gone up to 31 MPG in the last month sitting at a ridiculous 33 MPG in the past week of play (four games through Friday). Even though he's been playing a ton of late, Holiday has still sustained an average of 0.95 FP/min, which is five points above the league average of 0.90. Holiday has strung seven games of 11+ points scored with an average of 15+ PPG in that span hitting a marvelous 3.8 three-pointers per game while shooting 45.3% from the floor on a bulky (compared to his full-season average) 11+ FGA a day.
Holiday is a super solid shooter with good percentages on all fronts--but rather limited freebies on a per-game basis. His points are going to hit double-digits more often than not, he's a lock to score 2+ treys every day he plays, and he comes with reasonable upside on the scarce steals category (0.7 SPG on the season, 1.3 in the past five games). The usage has gone a bit up with Turner out and also Caris LeVert and Malcolm Brogdon missing time.
