Jrue Holiday has proven his value as an underrated player since winning the title with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021. Currently with the Boston Celtics, he has emerged as one of the league's top off-ball point guards and a formidable defender. Despite struggling with a hamstring injury, he's been impactful in the postseason, averaging 11.3 points and 4 assists while shooting 58.3%. His defensive prowess has been crucial in limiting Jalen Brunson's effectiveness, forcing him to shoot just 27.8% in their playoff series.

Currently trailing the New York Knicks 2-1, the Celtics, as defending champions, remain confident in their ability to adjust and deliver in crucial moments. Game 4 is pivotal, and keeping Holiday locked on Brunson could be key to evening the series before returning to Boston. The Celtics' depth, featuring Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, allows them to rely on Holiday's defensive skills rather than offensive scoring, showcasing their flexibility as a team.
