Aaron Holiday Fantasy Stats

Houston Rockets guard Aaron Holiday will join the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. He will make his first start of the campaign following an impressive bench showing in Monday's loss to the New York Knicks. While most of his teammates struggled to hit shots, Holiday went for a season-high 15 points in 17 minutes with 6-for-10 shooting. Jae'Sean Tate and Tari Eason (lower leg) will drop out of the first unit on Tuesday, with the latter ruled out for the game.

Houston Rockets guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Rockets have made the move to start Holiday with Fred VanVleet (thumb) sidelined for this game. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Rockets are just playing it safe and resting Vanvleet. Regardless, Holiday will start and have increased fantasy value with the move to the starting unit.

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Aaron Holiday (ankle) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game with Portland, clearing him to suit up. Holiday has averaged 7.8 points on 59.3 percent shooting overall in five games since joining the Suns, although his role off the bench could get complicated upon the return of Cameron Payne (wrist). At this stage, Holiday's minutes allotment (17.2 per game) is the primary bugaboo to his short- and long-term fantasy relevance. Devin Booker stands to continue seeing the vast majority of elevated assist upside for as long as Chris Paul (thumb) remains sidelined.

Phoenix Suns guard Aaron Holiday (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He played well in his first game after the All-Star break, but suffered an ankle injury in that contest. The Suns are shorthanded at guard with Chris Paul (thumb) and Cameron Payne (wrist) both sidelined. Elfrid Payton and Landry Shamet should see increased roles, but aren't reliable fantasy options. Devin Booker has taken over a majority of the playmaking responsibilities with the Suns thin at guard. Holiday could be a low-end streaming option, assuming he does actually suit up on Sunday.

Phoenix Suns guard Aaron Holiday (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matinee against the Jazz. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a sore right ankle, and he didn't play on Friday night versus the New Orleans Pelicans as a result. Holiday is expected to see more minutes until Chris Paul (thumb) and Cameron Payne (wrist) can return to the lineup. However, if he can't go for the meeting with Utah, Devin Booker will likely handle the ball-handling duties. Elfrid Payton could get some additional work if Holiday isn't available, although he doesn't have much value in any fantasy format.

Phoenix Suns guards Cameron Payne (wrist) and Aaron Holiday (ankle) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Payne continues to sit out with a wrist injury, but Holiday's injury is new. He played fairly well during Thursday's game and was gaining fantasy value. Now, Elfrid Payton will likely be forced into significant playing time on Friday. Although, Cameron Johnson is the better fantasy option between the two players. Devin Booker will likely start at point guard again and see increased ball handling responsibilities.

Washington Wizards point guard Aaron Holiday has reportedly been acquired by the Phoenix Suns just prior to the trade deadline on Thursday. Holiday is another former member of the Wizards to be dealt, with the team taking on a vastly new look for the remainder of the year. The 25-year-old averaged 6.1 points across 16.2 minutes per outing in 41 games (14 starts) during his lone season in Washington, although his role is likely to remain relatively static in a crowded Phoenix backcourt. Holiday is set to hit restricted free agency this summer, making him a commodity likely to be valued solely in multi-year, season-long formats.

Washington Wizards guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss multiple games, so Holiday could see a few games in the starting five. Holiday is averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. He's not an elite fantasy option, but worth a look while Beal is out. He could be a low cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate.

Washington Wizards small/power forward Deni Avdija (illness) and point/shooting guard Aaron Holiday (illness) have both been listed as questionable to suit up for Friday's contest against the Cavaliers. Avdija is yet to miss a game this season, having served as an integral member of the team's second unit. Holiday has already missed one game due to the illness, with his minutes wildly fluctuating during November. Neither player has been a consistent source of scoring this season, but their absence from the second unit could funnel more offensive duties in the direction of Davis Bertans and Raul Neto if they're ultimately ruled out. Check back prior to tip-off for the final word.

With the 22nd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Kentucky center Isaiah Jackson, then traded Jackson to the Indiana Pacers for guard Aaron Holiday. It's a weird trade for the Wizards, who acquire a player who averaged 7.2 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game last year for the Pacers. As for Jackson, he provides some insurance for the Pacers, who have a strong frontcourt in Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner but have also been involved in a lot of trade rumors when it comes to Turner.
