Double-double in win over GSW Holiday supplied 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 139-119 win over Golden State.

Impact The veteran point guard recorded his first double-double of the season in his second game as a Trail Blazer, while scoring 12-plus points in both contests. Having a steady hand like Holiday to run the show on the court could be key for Portland while the situation around head coach Chauncey Billups unfolds, but it remains to be seen how minutes will be divvied up in the backcourt once Scoot Henderson (hamstring) gets healthy.

Logs diverse line in starting role Holiday finished Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Timberwolves with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 33 minutes.

Impact It will be interesting to see how Holiday will be utilized once Scoot Henderson (hamstring) gets back up to speed. Once considered as Damian Lillard's replacement two seasons ago, inconsistency and stronger play from Anfernee Simons hindered his development. Either Henderson will finally get his opportunity to assume the starting role, or Holiday will fend him off as Simons did. The outcome will have to wait until mid-November, leaving Holiday as the clear starter for now.
