Holiday racked up 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 victory over the Rockets.
Holiday has now made three consecutive starts for Denver with Aaron Gordon (heel) out. The veteran forward is averaging 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.3 minutes over that span. Holiday is also shooting 55.0 percent from the field and 46.2 percent on 4.3 three-point attempts across those three contests.

Nuggets' Justin Holiday: Spotted in wild Friday
Rotowire
Holiday accumulated three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one steal across 13 minutes during Friday's 105-86 loss to the Rockets.
Holiday cracked the rotation for just the sixth time this season, offering basically zero in terms of fantasy production. Given he has scored a total of 15 points to this point, managers can safely ignore him in all formats.

Nuggets' Justin Holiday: Not part of rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday didn't play during Tuesday's 119-107 win over the Lakers.
Holiday was really the Nuggets' only free-agent signing this offseason, and he was expected to help fill the void left by Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. However, Holiday didn't see any action during the regular-season opener, as Denver opted to give extended minutes off the bench to Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun, Zeke Nnaji and Peyton Watson instead. Holiday's three-and-D skill set should help him carve out a rotational role eventually, but at the moment, he doesn't need to be rostered in standard leagues.

Nuggets' Justin Holiday: Coming off bench
Rotowire
Holiday will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers.
The Nuggets are mixing it up and will give Hunter Tyson a look next to Denver's usual starters of Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. With Michael Porter (ankle) questionable for Opening Night, Holiday could potentially have a decent role to open the season.

Nuggets' Justin Holiday: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
Holiday is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Holiday will start in place of Michael Porter (ankle) for Denver's preseason opener. Holiday will likely be one of the Nuggets' primary bench options this season.
Nuggets' Justin Holiday: Will join reigning champs
Rotowire
Holiday and the Nuggets agreed Sunday on a one-year deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Holiday gives Denver another floor spacer that can thrive playing with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. He shot just 32.2 percent from three last season, but he's at 36.3 percent for his career. The Nuggets were able to retain a majority of their rotational pieces from the championship run, but they did lose Bruce Brown and Jeff Green, who combined to average 48 minutes per game last year. Holiday should be able to claim a few of those minutes, but his playing time will likely depend on how big of a role Christian Braun can carve out in Year 2.
Mavericks' Justin Holiday: Posts solid line off bench
Rotowire
Holiday provided 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 115-112 loss to the Bulls.
Holiday was one of six players to score in double figures for the Mavericks on a night in which five key rotation players sat out for rest purposes or injury management, while Luka Doncic was limited to just 13 minutes. With Dallas eliminated from the postseason, expect all five players plus Doncic to remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Spurs, potentially paving the way for Holiday to take on elevated playing time and increased usage on the offensive end.

Mavericks' Justin Holiday: Limited during Monday's win
Rotowire
Holiday ended with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in nine minutes during Monday's 127-104 victory over the Pacers.
Even with Maxi Kleber (hamstring) sidelined, Holiday was unable to make a significant impact. He's scored in double figures during just one of his 12 March appearances, averaging 3.3 points in 14.7 minutes during that stretch.

Mavericks' Justin Holiday: Contributes across board
Rotowire
Holiday chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 win over the Jazz.
Holiday scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 23, and he also made an impact with his effort on defense. He tied his season high in both blocks and steals and has now notched a pair of steals in back-to-back matchups. Holiday logged a season-high 31 minutes Tuesday evening, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on his workload going forward, especially if he continues to put up numbers on the defensive end.

Mavericks' Justin Holiday: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday will start Sunday's matchup against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Holiday was lights out from three during his Dallas debut and will slide into the starting lineup for his second game with his new squad, pushing Josh Green to the bench. Holiday's ability to space the floor should open up more space for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to operate.

Mavericks' Justin Holiday: Lights out in Dallas debut
Rotowire
Holiday supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 victory over San Antonio.
Holiday joined Dallas ahead of the All-Star festivities and was deemed available for the final contest before the break but ultimately didn't see any minutes, making Thursday's appearance his first as a Maverick. The sharpshooter certainly took advantage of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving's playmaking prowess and knocked down a quintet of open triples, marking a season high. Holiday's fit in Dallas' scheme is evident, and he should continue to garner a decent role off the bench, though fantasy managers likely can't rely on such an efficient shooting performance on a nightly basis.
Coach Jason Kidd said he plans to get Holiday "some minutes" against the Nuggets on Wednesday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Holiday signed with the Mavericks after getting bought out following a trade that sent him from Atlanta to Houston. His contract was made official Wednesday afternoon, and it appears he will immediately join the Mavericks' rotation. Although it's unclear how large of a role Holiday will garner, he certainly stands to benefit from the absence of Kyrie Irving (back) and Tim Hardaway (hamstring).
Holiday was traded from the Hawks to the Rockets, where he agreed to a buyout. Now that he has officially joined Dallas, he will likely compete for a bench role at the guard and forward positions. He is averaging 4.5 points and 0.9 assists in 14.7 minutes across 28 games this season.
