Jrue Holiday shut down in Pelicans' Game 1
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday made 4-of-14 from the field for 11 points with three rebounds, four assists, and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
What It Means:
Holiday could not get free or slash in the paint for layups. He'll also have yet another tough task on defense with Steph Curry reportedly coming back for Game 2, but this time the Pelicans can't just trap ball-handlers like they did a lot against Portland in the last series. Holiday won't be this bad, but it would be stunning to see him come close to matching his production from the previous series.
Holiday put up a meager 20.6 FanDuel points on a salary of $8,300 on Saturday.
