Holiday contributed zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one assist, one block and three steals over 14 minutes during Saturday's 110-104 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday offered very little despite playing 14 minutes, failing to score for the third time in the past five games. Although Holiday has been a consistent part of the rotation, his playing time typically fluctuates based on a number of factors. At this point, he should be seen as an option only in deeper fantasy formats.

Holiday closed with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday continues to trend up for the Rockets and is seemingly pulling ahead of Reed Sheppard in the backcourt, at least in terms of minutes. Over his last four games, Holiday is seeing 26.4 minutes per game compared to 23.1 for Sheppard. In that span, Holiday is averaging 11.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Holiday totaled 10 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 133-125 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday led all bench players in minutes by a wide margin, emerging as the team's backup point guard behind Amen Thompson. In his last eight games, Holiday is averaging 12.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.6 threes on a 40.4 percent clip.

Holiday contributed 22 points (8-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-92 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
With Kevin Durant (personal) away from the team, Holiday saw a bigger role from the second unit and set season highs in minutes, points, steals and made three-pointers. The 29-year-old guard has stepped into a regular spot in the Rockets' backcourt rotation in the second half of November, and over the last five games, Holiday has averaged 12.2 points, 2.4 threes and 1.0 steals in 17.6 minutes a contest while shooting an impressive 50.0 percent (12-for-24) from beyond the arc.

Holiday chipped in 18 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday put up a season-high 18 points by finding his rhythm from beyond the arc, setting his best mark of the year in made threes. He appears to slowly be earning more opportunities off the bench, as he's averaging 16.0 minutes in his last three appearances. Holiday could be worth a look for a slight boost in scoring production, though he's unlikely to contribute much in other categories.

Holiday closed Sunday's 117-113 overtime win over the Magic with 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 16 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday saw a season high in minutes Sunday, likely due to the fact that Houston ran just an eight-man rotation against the Magic. While it is likely Holiday will not be on the court consistently, it is encouraging to see him take advantage of the opportunity when his name is called, scoring in double digits in consecutive contests.

Holiday closed Monday's 110-102 win over Dallas with six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
After not playing in three of Houston's first four games, Holiday saw the court for 10 minutes Monday, likely as a result of Jabari Smith's (ankle) absence. If Smith continues to miss time, Holiday's number will likely be called again.

Holiday was not in the rotation for the regular-season opener against the Thunder on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday was one of the notable players who didn't see the floor during Tuesday's matchup against Oklahoma City. It remains uncertain why he didn't play and what role he'll have on the team this season.

Holiday will come off the bench during Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Holiday will start the 2025-26 campaign in the second unit. Houston will run with its expected starters, featuring Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams in the first five.

Holiday recorded 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes of Thursday's 133-115 preseason win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets sat multiple regulars Thursday, allowing Holiday to draw the start next to Reed Sheppard in the backcourt. Houston's starting lineup is not set in stone yet, and it's unclear if Sheppard will start at point guard or if the team will roll with a bigger lineup. That decision could have an impact on Holiday's role this season, as he's directly behind Sheppard at the moment.
