Jrue Holiday continues his shooting slump vs. the Rockets

Jrue Holiday
PG, New Orleans Pelicans

Jrue Holiday still can't buy a bucket from deep, going 0-for-7 from beyond the arc and hitting 6-of-21 shots from the floor en route to 18 points with nine rebounds, 11 assists, a steal and a block.

Holiday still isn't scoring the ball well, but he's giving owners everything else. He went 0-for-7 from deep and is shooting .380 on the year. There's just no way he'll continue shooting nearly 10 percent below his career average. Once those numbers rise, he should hit early-round value as he's already averaging 6.7 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.4 triples.

Troy Brown Jr.
SG-SF, Washington Wizards

Troy Brown finished with 10 points in 31 minutes, adding eight assists and seven rebounds during Monday's loss to the Pacers.

Brown saw his scoring output fall on Monday, however, he has now handed out a combined 16 assists over the last two games. The Wizards are going to take production wherever they can find it at this stage and Brown appears to be in a prime position to capitalize. Given he averaged only 2.4 assists per game this season, there is reason to think his numbers in that category could regress at some point.

Shabazz Napier
PG, Washington Wizards

Shabazz Napier was replaced in the starting lineup by Ish Smith for Monday's matchup with the Pacers, amassing 16 points, four assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

Napier is yet to put it all together for the Wizards, although Monday was clearly his best performance thus far. Coming into the resumption period, Napier was viewed as a potential top-50 candidate. However, the fact he is basically splitting minutes with Smith has resulted in a series of underwhelming stat lines.

Ish Smith
PG, Washington Wizards

Ish Smith shot just 39 percent from the field during Monday's loss, compiling 12 points, four assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

Smith moved into the starting lineup, replacing Shabazz Napier who shifted to a bench role. It is unclear whether he will remain the starter, although his exact role is unlikely to impact his fantasy value moving forward. Both he and Napier have been splitting minutes at the point guard position, resulting in their respective fantasy ceilings being somewhat capped.

Thomas Bryant
C, Washington Wizards

Thomas Bryant was once again the Wizards' best, ending with 20 points and 11 rebounds, adding three blocked shots, one assist and a pair of 3-pointers during Monday's loss to the Pacers.

Bryant continues his resurgence for the understrength Wizards, dropping a second consecutive double-double. On a team looking for offense, Bryant finds himself in an ideal situation and should be able to continue putting up sizeable numbers on most nights.

Justin Holiday
SG, Indiana Pacers

Justin Holiday offered very little during Monday's win over the Wizards, scoring just two points to go with eight rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes.

Holiday's stay in the starting five could be coming to an end with the Pacers a chance to retain both Malcolm Brogdon and Victor Oladipo for Tuesday's matchup with the Magic. Despite playing 35 minutes on Monday, Holiday's production was muted at best. He attempted only three field goals and the lack of steals basically made his night worthless from a fantasy standpoint.
