Jrue Holiday Is Playing 9 More Minutes a Night for the Trail Blazers
With a teammate out, Holiday's minutes and his scoring have both jumped over his last three games.
Jrue Holiday is playing nine more minutes a night over his last three games with the Trail Blazers. That stretch runs through last season's game on April 28, 2026. The jump started once a teammate went out of the lineup.
Holiday is averaging 30.2 minutes a night this season, in 2025-26, across 58 games. Over his last three games, he averaged 39 minutes. His scoring has moved with the extra time on the floor. He is averaging 16.3 points a game this season. Over the last three games, that number rose to 19 points a game.
The extra workload is tied directly to the missing teammate, not to a change in role on its own. If that player returns to the lineup, Holiday's minutes would likely settle back toward his season average of 30.2. If the absence continues, 39 minutes a night and 19 points a game is the workload to watch for Holiday and the Trail Blazers.
