Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols but he will remain absent from the floor Saturday vs. Charlotte due to a left ankle ailment. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton served as the team's de facto point guards in Friday's win, with the duo combining for 14 of Milwaukee's 21 assists. Wesley Matthews should continue to see a sizable minutes allotment, with Rodney Hood and Langston Galloway also on hand off the bench. Additionally, interim coach Derwin Ham was unsure if Holiday -- who is averaging 18.4 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game -- would be healthy enough to suit up Monday, further complicating his return to action.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Thursday and isn't available for Friday's pivotal game against the Nets. This will be the veteran's first absence in what could be many, and he will be joined by Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, and George Hill. As a result, the Bucks will be short-handed in the backcourt, so Wesley Matthews, Javonte Smart, and Rodney Hood will attempt to fill the void. However, while they all have upside for sure, it will likely be Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness), who is probable, Khris Middleton, and ... [More]

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday missed only three shots while popping up everywhere and finishing Thursday's win against Orlando with 25 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks. He went 8-for-11 from the field and had a 3-for-4 record from deep with a perfect 6-for-6 effort at the foul line. Lineup issues helped Holiday to have a great December, but the crew is intact now and he was still able to shine on Thursday. January starts with a juicy matchup against the Pelicans, who own one of the league's worst defenses against opposing point guards.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday grabbed his second double-double in three games on Wednesday, racking up 24 points and 10 assists in an easy win over the Rockets. He finished with 10-for-17 shooting from the field and hit 2-for-5 from downtown, adding four rebounds and two steals with two turnovers in 31 minutes. Holiday is currently enjoying his best spell of the season, and he has a chance to test his form again on Thursday against Dallas. The Mavericks haven't given up a lot to point guards this season, but they are currently rolling with a completely different lineup and it will likely be tough for them to slow down Holiday.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (rest) is not expected to start during Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He logged in 44 minutes during Friday's overtime loss, so the Bucks are giving him the night off on Saturday. That being said, George Hill and Javonte Smart will be starting in the backcourt for the Bucks on Saturday. Hill is the better fantasy option between the two, but neither of them are favorable streaming choices. Fantasy managers should expect Holiday to be back in the starting five for their next contest.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday showed his old team what they are missing on Friday, scoring a career-high 40 points on 18-for-36 shooting in an overtime loss to New Orleans. It was a solid performance from the field but Holiday actually struggled with the three-ball, going 1-for-8 from deep. His work included five rebounds, five assists and two steals with four turnovers in 44 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo (health and safety protocols) and Khris Middleton (knee) were out here again, so everything flowed through Holiday on the offensive end, and he did a good job carrying the team. Middleton was listed probable for the game at first and isn't far from a return it appears. The Bucks play again on Saturday against Cleveland, so maybe the team just wanted to give him an extra day. Holiday's usage takes a hit if he returns.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday produced his best performance of the season on Wednesday, leading all scorers with 26 points and dishing out 14 assists in a 114-99 win over Indiana. He shot 12-for-18 from the field and added four rebounds to his collection with one steal and two turnovers in 33 minutes. The Bucks were without both Giannis Antetokounmpo (health and safety protocols) and Khris Middleton (knee) here, and Holiday performed very well without his costars. He's having a very good month overall and should shine again on Friday against the Pelicans, who are hopeless defensively.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday scored 20 points during a 117-103 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday. The 31-year-old shot 8-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-3 from deep, and 2-for-3 from the line. The UCLA product also chipped in with eight assists and three steals across 33 minutes. While no longer enjoying his lead guard days, Holiday still provides steady production across all categories outside of blocks. On the season, Holiday is averaging 15.8 points, 4.6 boards, 6.1 assists, 1.7 triples, and 1.3 steals while shooting 46.4% from the field and 71.1% from the line. In 23 games, this was just the guard's sixth performance of 20-plus points.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday scored a season-high 26 points in Thursday's loss to Toronto, adding six rebounds and eight assists to his tally with one block and five turnovers. He finished with 10-for-19 shooting from the field and hit 4-for-5 from outside. Holiday carried a bigger role on offense because Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) had the night off. The 31-year-old gets a lot fewer scoring opportunities when the Greek Freak is in the lineup, although it's worth mentioning that Holiday has enjoyed a couple of outings alongside him lately, scoring 22 points against Detroit and 23 points against Indiana. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a lot from Holiday in the next matchup against Miami. The Heat have produced the best defensive numbers in the league against opposing point guards this season, limiting them to 38 percent shooting and 16.9 points per 48 minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday produced a nice all-around performance in Sunday's win over Indiana, racking up 23 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal with one turnover in 31 minutes. His shooting was off from downtown with a 1-for-7 effort but Holiday's overall performance from the field was just fine with 11-for-21 shooting. He's been stroking it well from outside recently, so this is likely just a blip for him. Holiday should be involved in a fun battle with LaMelo Ball next, with the Bucks going for their eighth consecutive win on Wednesday against Charlotte. He'll need to produce a big defensive performance and thus his offensive numbers might suffer.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday excelled as a playmaker in Friday's loss to the Celtics. Holiday dished out 13 assists with just three turnovers while adding six rebounds and three steals- the positive of his performance. Unfortunately, he endured an awful shooting performance, making just 6 of 25 shots from the field and 1 of 12 three-pointers. The veteran guard's season got off to a rough start, but he isn't going to continue shooting the ball like that, plus the assist and steal numbers are there. Fantasy managers in need of a point guard could float out some offers for Holiday.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle, illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The organization is hopeful Holiday can return here after missing the last five contests. His return would send George Hill back to the bench and he'd lose most of his streaming appeal. It sounds like Holiday will play here, but fantasy managers should check back before game time just in case something changes.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) has been bumped up to probable to participate in Friday's game against the Knicks. Holiday has been bit by the injury bug during the early portion of the year, having been sidelined for the past five games. In his absence, George Hill has entered fantasy relevance, but he would return to a reserve role upon Holiday's green light. In the two games that Holiday has played this season, he has combined for just 43 minutes, so Milwaukee stands to keep his minutes capped out of the gate, particularly against a tenacious Knicks defense. Even so, the one-time All-Star is a must-start in all season-long formats, so long as his status doesn't swing in the opposite direction by Friday night.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) could return to action on Friday against the Knicks after a five-game absence. Holiday has been dealing with a sprained left ankle, and reportedly hasn't been feeling well on top of that, with the Bucks content to take things slow with him following his quick turnaround this summer. The veteran guard could be needed now more than ever, as Milwaukee is down Khris Middleton- who is currently in quarantine. Holiday's return would bump George Hill back to a bench role, effectively diminishing his DFS value.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) is out for Tuesday's divisional showdown against Detroit. This will mark the veteran's fifth straight absence and sixth of the year as he continues to be burdened by a sprained left ankle. His next chance to suit up will come on Friday night against the visiting New York Knicks, so hopefully, he will be good to go by then. With Khris Middleton out while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19 and Brook Lopez (back) also in line to miss another one, George Hill, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, and Pat Connaughton may once again make appearances in the starting lineup. While they are all hit or miss type fantasy options, they should be considered viable streaming options in deeper formats.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) and power forward Bobby Portis (hamstring) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will be the second game Holiday has missed this year. He is dealing with a left ankle sprain. Portis, meanwhile, has yet to make his season debut. The team will also be without Brook Lopez (back) in the game, so they'll be significantly shorthanded. George Hill will likely start at point guard and Giannis Antetokounmpo figures to serve as the team's primary center throughout the game.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) is listed as doubtful on the injury report for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Holiday suffered a right heel injury during the team's season opener. He missed a game before returning to action on Saturday. However, another injury has come up as the injury report for Monday's game states that he has a left ankle sprain. George Hill will likely take Holiday's place in the starting lineup for Monday's game, assuming Holiday is indeed out. Holiday has played well so far, albeit in limited minutes. Through two games, he's shot 11-for-16 from the field, including 5-for-8 from three-point range.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) is available for Sunday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran sustained a bruised heel during the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets and was held out of action during the blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday. With Holiday back in the mix, George Hill's fantasy ceiling will drop to some degree, although he should continue to get minutes from off the bench. However, rookie Justin Robinson probably won't see the floor much, if at all, and Grayson Allen could see a slight dip in production on the offensive end.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (heel) is once again trending toward making a return to action, this time for Saturday's contest against San Antonio. The Bucks remained extremely cautious with their PG early in the year by holding him out of Thursday's game, which allowed George Hill to nab a start. When active, Holiday remains a must-start in all fantasy formats, but it's worth checking back prior to tip-off to make sure that Milwaukee does not again pull back the reins at the eleventh hour.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The MRI on his heel came back clean, but it sounds like the team is going to hold him out as a precaution. Holiday was listed as probable, but the fact he is dealing with a thigh contusion as well is enough for the Bucks to take the cautious approach. Grayson Allen, Jordan Nwora, George Hill and Pat Connaughton should all see increased roles in this one. There isn't a ton of streaming appeal here, but Connaughton could be worth a look on Thursday.
