Holiday closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 20 minutes during Monday's 123-118 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday saw a healthy workload with the second unit, but his usage rate was microscopic. It's worth mentioning that Amen Thompson tweaked his ankle Monday, so there could be more minutes opening up in Houston.

Holiday took the court for the final 51 seconds of Wednesday's 111-99 loss to the Spurs, finishing with one assist and no other statistics.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday had missed two straight games while recovering from back spasms before being cleared to return to action for Monday's 108-99 win over the Grizzlies. He went unused in that contest, and while he remained out of the rotation Wednesday, Holiday got the chance to play in the final minute when the Rockets had essentially conceded defeat. With both Tari Eason (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) set to rest Thursday in Atlanta, Holiday could end up being in store for more meaningful playing time in the second leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set.

Holiday (back) is available for Monday's game against Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday will be available to return from a two-game absence due to a back issue, though he isn't guaranteed to see the floor. He had recorded a DNP-CD in three straight games prior to the injury absence.

Holiday (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday will likely return to the lineup Monday after missing the last five games with a back issue. Holiday has seen inconsistent minutes this season, but with the team relatively healthy, he doesn't figure to return to a significant role.

Holiday is out for Friday's game against the Pistons due to back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to the issue. His next chance to play comes Monday against the Grizzlies. Holiday's absence gives JD Davison the opportunity to claim a meaningful role off the bench Friday, as Tari Eason (ankle) is out.

Holiday is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit with back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday is looking to return from a one-game absence after sitting out the front end of Houston's back-to-back set Thursday. With Tari Eason (ankle) out against the Pistons, Holiday could end up seeing some decent run off the bench if he's able to suit up.

Holiday (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday had been listed as questionable heading into the day, but he'll end up getting the night off as he continues to tend to back spasms. The 29-year-old guard hasn't been in the rotation for Houston lately, so his absence won't free up minutes for any of the Rockets' other reserves.

Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

It's worth noting that Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back for the Rockets. However, Holiday hasn't appeared in three consecutive contests, so his absence wouldn't seem to open up any playing time in the backcourt.

Holiday is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against Chicago on Tuesday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holiday made his first start of the season during the Rockets' 111-98 loss to the Kings on Sunday, when he logged three points, four assists, one rebound and one steal over 28 minutes while making one of seven three-point attempts. He'll revert to a bench role Tuesday while Josh Okogie enters Houston's starting lineup.

Head coach Ime Udoka told reporters that Holiday will start against the Kings on Sunday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tari Eason will miss Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, so Holiday will enter the Rockets' starting lineup for the first time this season. It's an opportunity to earn a larger role in the rotation for Holiday, who has averaged just 8.5 minutes per game over his last eight outings and was a healthy DNP against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
