Fantasy Analysis
Holiday has really struggled with his game of late as he has now failed to score in double figures in each of his last three contests. He is shooting just 38 percent from the field during his recent slump and is averaging just 10 points, 5.0 assists and 3.0 turnovers over that stretch. However, we would expect the 21-year-old to turn it around before too long, so leave him active in the majority of formats moving forward. (Updated 04/04/2012).

Young teams aren't built to handle collapses in the playoffs. But Jeff Goodman says the Sixers put their loss in Game 1 to good use, hitting clutch shots late to even their series with the Celtics.
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)
