Jrue Holiday's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Holiday is dealing with left knee inflammation that will force him to miss his first game this season. The 34-year-old has averaged 12.8 PPG this season but his biggest impact may be felt defensively for Boston. Expect Payton Pritchard to get the start at point guard for Boston tonight. Pritchard has averaged 16.2 PPG off the bench for Boston and is a must start in all fantasy formats. DFS managers should consider adding Pritchard to their lineups as well.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is questionable for Saturday's showdown with the Toronto Raptors. The veteran isn't as productive as when he was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's still averaging 12.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. He's also still a sound defender. But if his left knee tendinopathy keeps him off the floor on Saturday night, it will presumably open the door for added production from Payton Pritchard, who has averaged 16.2 points and 42.7% shooting from deep this season.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday enjoyed a big night in Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals against Dallas on Sunday, scoring a team-high 28 points on near-perfect 11-for-14 shooting. It's his second-highest scoring effort of the season following a 28-point effort in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus Indiana. Holiday got there mostly with nifty finishes around the rim, but he also shot the three-ball well, finishing 2-for-4 from downtown. The 2021 NBA champion also led Boston with 11 rebounds and registered three assists with one steal and one block. It's been a good start to the Finals for Holiday, who averages 19.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists with 44.4 percent three-point shooting through the first couple of games.
