Holiday (personal) isn't listed on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers.
Holiday was away from the team for Monday's win due to personal reasons, but he's been left off the injury report for Wednesday, suggesting the Bucks will have their point guard back against Indiana. Over his last nine appearances, Holiday has averaged 12.9 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Ruled out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Holiday will not play Monday against the Pistons for personal reasons.
This will be Holiday's first game on the sidelines since March 7. With Milwaukee's starting point guard unavailable, we can expect to see a healthy workload for Jevon Carter. Carter will be a popular streamer for points, three-pointers, assists and steals.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Holiday had 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 win over Toronto.
Holiday scored fewer than 13 points for the fourth time in his past six games, a period in which he is well outside the top 100. His poor production couldn't come at a worse time for managers, especially those battling in their fantasy playoffs. With that said, he remains inside the top 40 for the season, delivering a healthy serving of assists, steals and three-pointers on most nights.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Posts double-double in loss
Rotowire
Holiday produced 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 loss to Indiana.
Holiday posted his first double-double since March 4 and his 14th of the season. Coming into the contest, the All-Star was shooting just 35.2 percent from the field over his past four games, so seeing him bounce back offensively was encouraging. Even when his shot isn't falling, Holiday is still a valuable fantasy asset due to his defensive prowess, and he's proven that by notching at least one steal and one block in each of his past five appearances.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Struggles with shot in victory
Rotowire
Holiday ended with 12 points (4-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Suns.
Although Holiday nailed all four of his free-throw attempts, his stroke was ice-cold elsewhere. He failed to convert a single three-point attempt and shot 28.5 percent overall in the win. Tuesday marked the fifth straight game where Holiday failed to score 20 points or more, and although his secondary numbers remain steady, his shooting stroke has failed him over the past four games.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Stuffs stat sheet Monday
Rotowire
Holiday totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 133-124 victory over the Kings.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (46 points) and Khris Middleton (31 points) carried the Bucks on the offensive end, resulting in Holiday taking more of a back seat in the scoring column. The veteran point guard still managed to bring value for fantasy managers with his outputs in the assists, rebounds and blocks columns, narrowly exceeding his season-long averages in each category.
Holiday posted 18 points (7-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Holiday didn't shoot particularly well against the Warriors, but he still turned in a strong performance, falling just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. The point guard actually shot better from beyond the arc (4-for-11) than from two-point range (3-for-11), and at least half of his shot attempts have come from deep in four straight games. Holiday's 6.4 three-point attempts per game this season are easily a career high, but he's still managing to shoot 47.3 percent from the field overall.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Decent stat line in win
Rotowire
Holiday supplied 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 win over the Nets.
Holiday returned from a one-game absence due to a neck injury, and while he wasn't as dominant as he's proven he can be in past games, he still posted a decent stat line while contributing on both ends of the court. The All-Star guard is averaging 20.6 points, 7.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game since the start of February.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Good to go Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) will suit up for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Holiday sported a probable tag on the initial injury report, so seeing his upgrade to available against the Nets is not surprising. That said, Brooklyn will be without a number of its regulars in Thursday's starting lineup, so the fantasy risk changes from injury to blowout potential. Jevon Carter should retreat to a bench role with Holiday back in the mix.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Slated to return Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Holiday took the night off Tuesday with a neck soreness label, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee/illness) on the sidelines. The pair of stars are both expected back in action Thursday, presumably sending Jevon Carter and Bobby Portis to their usual reserve roles.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Magic.
Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) on the sidelines. Jevon Carter figures to be the most likely candidate to start at point guard in Holiday's absence, but the Bucks will need plenty of contributions from different players to mitigate the loss of their two top playmakers.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Questionable Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Holiday will probably want to test his neck pregame Tuesday evening, so he's likely headed for a game-time decision. If he's not able to give it a go, that would open up some more minutes for Pat Connaughton and Jevon Carter, with guys like Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez seeing an uptick in usage.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Logs 13th double-double of season
Rotowire
Holiday contributed 26 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and 13 assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 133-130 loss to the 76ers.
Although the Bucks couldn't extend their 16-game win streak, Holiday put on a show and notched double-digit assists for the first time in over a month. The All-Star guard is shooting 53.9 percent from the field over his last 10 contests.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Another productive night in win
Rotowire
Holiday finished with 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and nine assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-117 win over the Magic.
Holiday had a productive night overall despite going just 1-of-7 from the three-point line, finishing with 23 points, which trailed only Giannis Antetokounmpo for the team high, while dishing out a game-high nine assists. Nine of his points came in the second quarter on 4-of-6 shooting from the field to help the Bucks extend their leading heading into the half. The point guard has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Leads offense with 30-point game
Rotowire
Holiday contributed 33 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over the Suns.
Holiday led the team in scoring while finishing as the lone player in Sunday's game with 30 or more points. Holiday, who also led all starters in assists, has surpassed the 30-point mark six times this season.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Drops team-high 24 points
Rotowire
Holiday recorded 24 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 29 minutes during Friday's 128-99 victory over the Heat.
Holiday picked up where he left off, powering the Bucks to a comfortable win over the Heat. Despite the fact Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) was unable to finish the game, the Bucks made easy work of the Heat thanks to another masterful performance by Holiday. If Antetokounmpo is forced to miss time, Holiday could see a bump in his offensive production. Given the proximity to the fantasy playoffs, this is certainly music to the ears of anyone rostering the savvy point guard.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Career-best effort in OT win
Rotowire
Holiday recorded 40 points (13-21 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and three steals across 43 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime win over the Celtics.
The 40 points tied his career high, while the eight made treys were a new personal best for Holiday. The veteran guard has scored in double digits with at least one three-pointer in 19 straight games, averaging 21.2 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Solid all around in win
Rotowire
Holiday had 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 119-106 win over the Clippers.
Holiday had a productive first half with 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor, adding two steals, one rebound and an assist. He knocked down just two more shots over the final two quarters but chipped in another five assists and four boards as the Bucks cruised to their 10th straight win. The point guard has now scored at least 15 points in four straight and has knocked down at least two threes in all five games this month. He'll look to keep that streak going when Milwaukee faces off against the Celtics on Tuesday.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Propels Milwaukee in blowout win
Rotowire
Holiday finished with 20 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt), eight assists and four rebounds in 32 minutes during Monday's 127-108 win over Portland.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo battling foul trouble early, Holiday and Brook Lopez (27 points) stepped up to help the streaking Bucks roll to an eighth consecutive win. Due in large part to Antetokounmpo averaging 42.8 points on a whopping 27.4 field-goal and 13.4 free-throw attempts over the previous five games, Holiday and other members of the Bucks' supporting cast had seen their usage tail off of late, so the point guard's strong showing Monday was a welcome sight for fantasy managers who had been disappointed by his recent returns.

Bucks' Jrue Holiday: Dominates glass Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday recorded 15 points (6-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-115 victory over the Hornets.
Holiday racked up another double-double in the win, although not as we would normally expect. His 13 rebounds marked a season high, certainly coming out of the blue. While it was his first double-digit rebounding game of the season, he has pulled down at least seven rebounds in three straight games. This shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a flash in the pan, although managers have to be thrilled with what he is bringing to the table.
