Jrue Holiday unloads 33 points as Pelicans take 2-0 series lead over Blazers
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored a playoff career-high 33 points on 14-for-24 shooting Tuesday, to go with 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal in a 111-102 Game 2 win over the Portland Trail Blazers to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
What It Means:
The Pelicans have all but wrapped up this series winning the first two games on the road, and with all the talk about Portland's backcourt, Holiday and Rajon Rondo are easily outplaying the Blazers guards to start the series. Holiday and the Pelicans take a 2-0 series lead back home where they'll tip off Game 3 on Thursday.
Our early models for Thursday project Holiday for 35.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $8,300.
