Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Green light to play Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Holiday continues to work his way back from a right calf injury, and he has been cleared to play Thursday after sitting out of Sunday's win against the Kings. In his four outings since returning from a 27-game absence, Holiday has averaged 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals over 19.5 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Heat.
Holiday was shut down for the second half of Portland's back-to-back Sunday due to a right calf injury, but it appears he'll be ready to roll Thursday night barring a last-minute setback. He's logged 21 and 20 minutes in his last two appearances, so the team will presumably keep him around that same mark against Miami, assuming he gets the green light.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is questionable to play Thursday versus Miami.
Holiday missed Sunday's win over Sacramento, with that game coming as the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Thursday's game being the first leg of a back-to-back, he may need to spend at least one more game on the inactive list. If Holiday is out again, that'll lead to more minutes for Caleb Love and Javonte Cooke.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
As expected, Holiday will be sidelined for the second leg of the Trail Blazers' back-to-back set Sunday while working through a right calf injury, and his next chance to play is Thursday against the Heat. The Blazers will be reinforced with the return of Deni Avdija (back) from a three-game absence, and Caleb Love should also see an uptick in playing time in Holiday's absence.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right calf injury management.
After posting nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 20 minutes in Saturday's win over the Lakers, Holiday is unlikely to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the veteran point guard is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time, especially if Deni Avdija (back) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Will play Saturday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Holiday was initially listed as questionable due to right calf injury management for the front end of this back-to-back set, though he was upgraded to probable Saturday before being cleared to play. The veteran point guard has appeared in three outings (one start) following a 27-game absence due to a right calf strain, averaging 10.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 19.3 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is now probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Holiday was initially added to the injury report as questionable, but he appears on track to suit up after being upgraded to probable.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Holiday may miss the front end of Portland's back-to-back set due to right calf injury management. The veteran guard has appeared in just three outings following a 27-game absence due to a right calf strain, so it appears likely he'll be held out of at least one half of this back-to-back. If Holiday is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Back with starting five
Rotowire
Holiday is starting Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Holiday came off the bench in his first two games back from a right calf strain, and the team is slowly easing back on his minutes restriction. He logged 21 minutes in Tuesday's matchup, so it's certainly possible he could approach the 25-minute mark Thursday night. Caleb Love will move to the bench with Holiday returning to the starting lineup.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Excels in limited playing time
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) recorded eight points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes in Sunday's 123-114 loss to the Knicks.
Since he had missed the Trail Blazers' previous 27 games due to a right calf strain, Holiday was eased back into the mix with a sub-20-minute bench role. Aside from a 0-for-3 showing from inside the arc, Holiday was productive during his time on the court. After averaging 33.3 minutes per game while starting in each of Portland's first 12 contests, Holiday should eventually move back to the top unit, though it could take a handful of games before his playing-time restriction is lifted.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Not starting in return
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) won't start against the Knicks on Sunday.
Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and will be on a minutes restriction during his return to action, per Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland. While the veteran point guard will likely need some time to work his way back to his regular role, his presence should leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) will play Sunday versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Head coach Tiago Splitter acknowledged that with this being Holiday's first game in nearly two months, he will have some minutes restrictions, making Holiday a risky target in daily fantasy leagues. He should be activated in season-long settings, though, and Holiday's return could cut into the playing time of Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.
It appears that Holiday will be making his return from what was nearly a two-month layoff, so expect him to be operating with some heavy minutes restrictions in his first game back. Holiday should start, which will likely push Sidy Cissoko back to the second unit and lead to a minutes dip for Caleb Love.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain but is trending in the right direction after receiving a questionable tag. If the veteran point guard is cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. Still, his presence would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Holiday is out for Friday's game against the Rockets with a right calf strain.
The fact that Portland originally labeled Holiday as doubtful is a sign that the veteran floor general is inching closer to returning to the floor. With Holiday appearing to be day-to-day, Caleb Love remains worth streaming in the majority of fantasy leagues with a stable role in the Trail Blazers' backcourt.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Not playing Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Holiday continues to progress in his recovery from a right calf strain that has kept him sidelined since Nov. 14, having recently been cleared for on-court activities. He's not quite ready to return, but his next chance to play is in Friday's rematch against Houston. Caleb Love, who has averaged 16.9 points and 3.6 threes over 29.5 minutes per game over his last eight outings, will continue to serve in an expanded role off the bench for as long as Holiday is sidelined.

Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return. The veteran guard was recently cleared for on-court basketball activities, though he should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets until the Trail Blazers offer an update on his status. Caleb Love will likely continue to see meaningful burn for as long as Holiday is sidelined.

Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain, and while it sounds like he's on the right track, it's a concern that he remains without a timetable for a return. Meanwhile, Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is expected to miss at least two more weeks of action. Caleb Love will likely continue to see significant playing time for as long as both Holiday and Henderson are sidelined.
