Holiday (lower leg) will start Friday against the Raptors, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Holiday was previously held out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, which marked the second game of a back-to-back set for the Pelicans. Coach Alvin Gentry plans on continuing to rest Holiday for one game of such scenarios until at least January, while also limiting Holiday to around 20-to-25 minutes of action in the games the point guard does play. As such, there will remain a definite cap on Holiday's fantasy value for the next two months.
