Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Justin Holiday (illness) is available for Wednesday's contest against Detroit. He has been battling a non-COVID illness and was originally questionable for the game, but the team has now confirmed that Holiday is ready to play. The 33-year-old has been one of the first players off the bench for Atlanta this season, but he hasn't done a lot in 18.7 minutes of action. Holiday has shot very poorly so far and it's allowed him to average just five points a night with 1.7 assists. The veteran will hope to do much better against a team that's among the league's worst defensive sides.
Sacramento Kings guard Justin Holiday (illness) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Chicago Bulls. He came down with a non-COVID illness and the illness caused him to exit early during the team's previous game against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Donte DiVincenzo is slotting into the starting five to take Holiday's spot. DiVincenzo has really struggled so far this month. Over six games in March, while logging 23.8 minutes per contest, he's averaging 7.3 points and 2.8 assists per game and shooting 30.2% from the field. We'll see if Holiday is able to return to action for the team's next game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
Sacramento Kings forward Justin Holiday (illness) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He wasn't on the pregame injury report, but was unable to finish the game due to a non-COVID related illness. Holiday was only able to play nine minutes and it's uncertain if he'll be ready for their next contest. His absence resulted in more playing time for Jeremy Lamb. Both Lamb and Donte DiVincenzo could have some deep league appeal, assuming Holiday misses time.
Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday Will Play Wednesday
Sacramento Kings forwards Domantas Sabonis and Justin Holiday will start during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both players have been cleared to play and will make their team debuts here. They will be joined by De'Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, and Chimezie Metu in the starting five. It'll be interesting to see how Sabonis and Holiday look in their new environment. Fantasy managers in season long formats should have Sabonis in their lineups. However, neither player is a great bet for DFS contests on Wednesday.
Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday will play during Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed each of the last six games while sitting out due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Chris Duarte will lose fantasy value and minutes with the return of Holiday. Despite that, he is worth hanging onto in some formats because the Pacers are likely to rebuild soon. Holiday isn't much of a fantasy option and can probably be ignored in most formats right now.
Justin Holiday Tagged As Questionable Against Bucks
Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holidayis tagged as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to ramp up his conditioning and was questionable for Monday's contest as well. He was ultimately held out, but it sounds like Holiday is nearing a return. Chris Duarte would be impacted the most once Holiday returns. Duarte has been inconsistent this season, but fantasy managers should be patient with him. The Pacers are likely leaning towards a rebuild, so Duarte could have a bigger role soon.
Indiana Pacers small forward Justin Holiday (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. Holiday absence extends to six games, while Chris Duarte figures to continue getting elevated run with him on the sidelines. Prior to going down, Holiday had been finding his rhythm offensively, scoring in double figures in five of his last six outings. Although, with Caris LeVert back in the mix on the wing for Indiana, Holiday's offensive upside remains capped upon his return. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday vs. Milwaukee.
Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He cleared quarantine a few days ago and returned to practice on Sunday. That being said, it's uncertain if Holiday will be ready to play on Monday. Chris Duarte stands to gain or lose the most depending on Holiday's status. Fantasy managers will have to check back later in the day. Holiday could possibly be limited as well, while he gets up his conditioning.
Indiana Pacers small forward Justin Holiday has entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols as of Tuesday, which is expected to keep him out of action for at least the next 10 days. Beginning Wednesday vs. Atlanta, the Pacers play four games in that stretch, all of which Holiday is likely to miss. Holiday has yet to miss a game this season, making it unclear how head coach Rick Carlisle could distribute his 28.1 minutes of action. Torrey Craig and Jeremy Lamb are the likeliest candidates to see elevated roles. Fantasy managers can shift Holiday to the waiver wire in all formats, as his next best chance of taking the floor comes Dec. 10 against the Mavericks.
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Justin Holiday scored a season-high 27 points in 28 minutes off the bench against the Sixers on Saturday. He was unconscious from deep, going 6-for-8, and shot 9-for-11 overall from the field with a 3-for-4 record at the line. Holiday also pulled down a pair of rebounds and posted one assist with one turnover. The 32-year-old tends to put in some very good scoring performances from time to time, but you can't get there with poor shooting, and exactly that had happened in back-to-back games prior to Saturday. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up for Monday's clash against the Knicks. They generally don't allow a lot of bench points and Holiday had a miserable 0-for-7 shooting night against the Knicks in this season's first head-to-head meeting.
