Fantasy Analysis
Holiday has been unable to match his production from his breakout season last year thus far, which has been disappointing to Fantasy owners thus far. However, the 21-year-old is still putting up solid numbers across the board and is shooting just over 40 percent from behind the arc. While Philadelphia's balanced scoring cuts into his production at times, owners should leave Holiday active in the majority of formats heading into Fantasy Week 8 (Feb. 13-19). (Updated 02/11/2012).

The Knicks back court has been inconsistent so far and with Baron Davis close to returning, the picture is murky. Our Jamey Eisenberg breaks down the Knicks going forward and much more from his Courtside Seat.
Holiday was one of the most improved guards in Fantasy between his rookie and sophomore seasons in the league. Coach Doug Collins played him 35 minutes per game and he improved all around as he averaged 14 points, 6.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and a 3-pointer per game in a breakout season for the 76ers. Now, Holiday comes back for his third year with a nice young nucleus in Philadelphia. With a fully healthy Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala, you can expect Holiday to become even more effective passing the rock. He vowed to work on his turnovers in the offseason, so that could be a much-improved area of his game after finishing 44th in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio last year. Holiday started all 82 games for Philadelphia and proved highly durable, finishing as a top 12 Fantasy guard. Just 21 years old, Holiday should only improve this season and should be targeted in the early middle rounds on Draft Day. (Updated 8/23/11)
