Holiday (calf) will not play Monday against Dallas.
Holiday was deemed a game-time decision prior to this update, so the veteran guard is likely going to be day-to-day going forward. With Holiday sidelined, Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija could see more usage, and Sidy Cissoko, Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love are all candidates to see increased roles.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Holiday was a late addition to the injury report due to right calf soreness, and he'll likely be a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. If the veteran point guard joins Scoot Henderson (hamstring), Blake Wesley (foot) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) on the bench, Shaedon Sharpe, Sidy Cissoko, Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love are all candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Continues to thrive as playmaker
Rotowire
Holiday chipped in 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 12 assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 win over the Pelicans.
Holiday recorded his fourth double-double of the season, and this was the second time the veteran floor general dished out double-digit dimes in his last three appearances. Holiday has been better than expected as a veteran point guard for a young Blazers team and has experienced a marked improvement compared to his previous two seasons in Boston, where he held a lesser role. Through 11 appearances this season, Holiday is averaging 17.0 points, 8.5 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game, numbers similar to the ones he had during his time in Milwaukee. The 8.5 assists per game would be a new career-high mark for the 17-year veteran.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Posts decent all-around night
Rotowire
Holiday totaled 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 115-112 loss to Orlando.
Holiday wasn't as effective offensively as he's been over his last two matchups, but he continues to find ways to contribute both on the glass and as a distributor. The veteran point guard has been a solid addition to say the least, now averaging 17.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.7 steals through his first 10 games as a Trail Blazer.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Double-doubles in loss to Miami
Rotowire
Holiday contributed 18 points (6-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 136-131 loss to the Heat.
Holiday was unable to reach the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season, but he recorded his third game with double-digit assists and also finished just one assist away from a triple-double. Holiday has been a pleasant surprise for the Blazers this season, and he's embracing the big role on offense -- certainly bigger than the one he had in Boston -- to remain relevant across all fantasy formats.
Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Posts 22 points in surprise win
Rotowire
Holiday chipped in 22 points (7-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 victory over the Thunder.
The Trail Blazers were humming on all cylinders during the surprise win, rallying from 22 points down to squeak out a stunner. Holiday's 12 points in the second quarter played a key role in cutting the deficit, and he added 10 points in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. Holiday's veteran presence has been a boon to Portland's overall success, and he's currently posting three-year highs in several categories. Through eight games, he's averaging 17.4 points, 7.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals. His assist average currently places him 10th overall, ahead of dime-droppers like Ja Morant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Holiday totaled 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 assists, three rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 109-107 victory over the Nuggets.
Holiday continues to turn back the clock, handing out a season-high 13 assists. The veteran finished outside the top-200 players in standard leagues last season, playing as a supporting cast member alongside a talented main cast in Boston. Now in Portland, Holiday is basically running the show, averaging 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Drops team-high 27 in win
Rotowire
Holiday had 27 points (10-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 136-134 victory over the Jazz.
The 27 points were a team high on the night and a season high for Holiday, who's delivered more than 20 points in three straight contests. The 35-year-old appears up to the task of being one of the focal points of the Portland offense, as opposed to being a part of the supporting cast as he was in Boston, and through five games, Holiday is averaging 19.6 points, 7.8 assists, 5.4 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 38.2 percent from three-point range.
Holiday registered 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 122-108 victory over the Lakers.
Holiday continues his red-hot start to the season as the Trail Blazers improved to 2-2. Through four games, Holiday is on pace for a fourth-round valuation in nine-category formats with averages of 17.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Posts 21-6-7 line in loss
Rotowire
Holiday totaled 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-107 loss to the Clippers.
The 35-year-old point guard is having a resurgent season with the Trail Blazers, as he's a significantly larger part of the offensive scheme than he was in Boston. Through the first three games of the season, he's been flirting with top-75 value behind averages of 15.7 points, 8.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 triples per contest.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Double-double in win over GSW
Rotowire
Holiday supplied 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 139-119 win over Golden State.
The veteran point guard recorded his first double-double of the season in his second game as a Trail Blazer, while scoring 12-plus points in both contests. Having a steady hand like Holiday to run the show on the court could be key for Portland while the situation around head coach Chauncey Billups unfolds, but it remains to be seen how minutes will be divvied up in the backcourt once Scoot Henderson (hamstring) gets healthy.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Logs diverse line in starting role
Rotowire
Holiday finished Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Timberwolves with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 33 minutes.
It will be interesting to see how Holiday will be utilized once Scoot Henderson (hamstring) gets back up to speed. Once considered as Damian Lillard's replacement two seasons ago, inconsistency and stronger play from Anfernee Simons hindered Henderson's development. Either Henderson will finally get his opportunity to assume the starting role, or Holiday will fend him off as Simons did. The outcome will have to wait until mid-November, leaving Holiday as the clear starter for now.
Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Gets hot from downtown in loss
Rotowire
Holiday registered 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Holiday was an absolute menace from beyond the arc, scoring 18 of his 24 points from deep. He was equally as effective when distributing the basketball, serving up a team-high seven dimes. Holiday has put together two strong performances to close out the preseason, building some momentum heading into Wednesday's season opener against Minnesota.
