NBA starting lineups tonight - Is Jrue Holiday playing for Milwaukee Bucks vs Atlanta Hawks?

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is set to be missing from action as he is ruled out for Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Bucks currently sit 4th in the Eastern Conference and will face off against the Hawks on Monday night without one of their star players. The reigning NBA champions will look to continue on the back of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s fine form this season who is one of the favorites to be crowned MVP for the current season.

Giannis leads the KIA MVP ladder currently, and will look to lead the Bucks to glory once again this season. He is averaging 28.5 ppg, 11.5 rpg and 6 assists per game this season. Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton have been of great support to Giannis helping the Bucks maintain a top 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Holiday has averaged 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in 33 games this season, and has been a key contributor for the Bucks on both ends of the floor.

Jrue Holiday will miss a fourth straight game for the Milwaukee Bucks with left ankle soreness but head coach Mike Budenholzer insists it is not a long term issue.

Holiday has been absent for weeks due to the league’s health and safety protocols and an ankle injury, which could jeopardize his chances of making the All-Star team, but Jrue’s importance to the Bucks has been demonstrated during this difficult period.

Grayson Allen appears to be healthy for the first time in a long time, and his return to the Bucks’ lineup makes a major difference, especially with Jrue Holiday out. The Bucks will look to bounce back from their disappointing loss to the Toronto Raptors and try to improve on their performances with a win against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.
