Holiday (lower leg) has officially been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Still recovering from a lower-leg injury, Holiday hasn't been cleared to play in back-to-back games which explains Wednesday's absence since he spent 15 minutes on the court Tuesday. Fellow point guard Ish Smith tends to benefit when Holiday is restricted, and Wednesday will be no different as Smith is projected to start against Atlanta.
