Portland Trail Blazers

Holiday started the second half Tuesday and contributed 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Portland's 119-97 defeat to Golden State. The veteran began the game on the bench for the second consecutive contest following his return Sunday from a nearly two-month absence. He replaced Caleb Love after halftime, with Love having entered the starting lineup due to Deni Avdija's absence.

Fantasy Impact: His playing time increased from 16 minutes Sunday to 21 minutes Tuesday. Portland faces Atlanta on Thursday for their next game.

Love earned his first professional start Tuesday and posted 17 points on 5-of-16 shooting while adding seven assists, three rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Warriors. The start came after he entered the game with double-figure scoring in 11 consecutive contests. Despite shooting inefficiently, he extended that streak to 12 games with the 17-point performance, though he was replaced by Jrue Holiday to begin the second half.

Fantasy Impact: Tuesday marked Love's inaugural appearance in a starting lineup. His scoring streak reached a dozen games despite the shooting struggles and second-half benching against Golden State.
