Jrue Holiday (neck) downgraded, inactive for Bucks Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (neck soreness) is out Tuesday versus the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Holiday has been downgraded from questionable and will miss his first game since January 4. Jevon Carter will likely replace Holiday in the starting lineup and play extended minutes. MarJon Beauchamp should also see more work for the Bucks on Tuesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) has been downgraded from probable to out, so there should be a plethora of additional scoring and ball-handling opportunities available.
Carter is averaging 30.2 minutes and 26.5 FanDuel points in games without Holiday this season, and he has a $4,400 salary on Tuesday's eight-game slate. The Magic are allowing the sixth-most assists per game to point guards this season.
