3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (heel) has been deemed probable to play in Thursday's game against Miami after departing the season opener due to a heel contusion. George Hill is on hand to serve as his primary backup, and he would stand to see an elevated role if Holiday trends in the wrong direction. But a quick return from Holiday, who averaged 19 PPG last year vs. the Heat, would bode well for Milwaukee's offense picking up where it left off in the first contest, having dropped 127 points. Holiday remains a must-start in all formats when healthy due to his nightly multi-category contributions.--Jesse Borek
