Jrue Holiday (illness) will not play Tuesday in New Orleans
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks due to flu-like symptoms.
What It Means:
The Pelicans are starting a three games in thee days stretch thanks to the infamous roof leak at Smoothie King Center earlier this season, so hopefully Holiday isn't so sick he is in danger of missing Wednesday or Thursday's games. With Holiday out Tuesday night, Anthony Davis and Nikola Mirotic will both see a nice usage bump, while Rajon Rondo, Ian Clark, and DeAndre Liggins could also see more playing time.
Holiday is averaging 37.1 FanDuel points per game this season.
