Jrue Holiday Available Wednesday
4 months agoBoston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) will be available for Wednesday's battle with the Minnesota Timberwolves as the team looks to stay undefeated at home this year. The Celtics are monitoring Holiday's sprained right elbow but haven't held him out since the New Year's Eve blowout win over the San Antonio Spurs. The two-way All-Star has been fine for fantasy purposes, as evidenced by averages of a career-high 6.5 rebounds alongside 4.7 assists, and 1.9 three-pointers, but his 13.1 points per game are his lowest since his rookie year back in 2009-10. Holiday's usage rate (16.8%) is also his lowest ever, so managers are going to have to deal with his diminished role in this stacked Boston lineup. Holiday may show up on the Celts' injury report for Thursday's second part of a back-to-back and "revenge game" against his former Milwaukee Bucks team.
