Pelicans' Jrue Holiday: Double-doubles in Sunday win

Holiday provided 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 assists, five rebounds and three steals over 36 minutes in Sunday's 105-97 win over the Lakers.

Analysis:

Conventional wisdom might have dictated that Holiday's production would inevitably take a hit with DeMarcus Cousins' arrival, as Anthony Davis was already soaking up a lion's share of usage on a nightly basis. However, the opposite has been true, as Holiday has hit the 20-point mark in three straight games, as well as 18 in another in the five games since the trade. The double-double Sunday was Holiday's first since Feb. 12, and he's now boasting a 26.1 percent usage rate over the five games following the All-Star break.
