• Celtics' Derrick White: Fills box score in loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  White notched 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to Chicago. Although it was an inefficient shooting night, White filled up the box score Thursday as fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing in recent years. White has posted double-digit points in 12 of his last 13 games, a period in which he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 30-year-old combo guard should continue to be one of the more well-rounded assets for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, and there's reason to believe his shooting efficiency will improve going forward with the star-studded Celtics roster currently at full strength.

• Celtics' Derrick White: Torches Pistons with seven threes

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  White logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over the Pistons. White stepped up with a full stat line for the Celtics on a night when superstar Jayson Tatum (knee) was out of action, also torching the Pistons by draining a season-high seven three-pointers in Thursday's blowout. In eight games with Tatum unavailable since 2023-24, White is now averaging 19.4 points, 8.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.4 steals and 3.8 three-pointers per contest dating back to last season. If Tatum remains out for Sunday's matchup against a Wizards team allowing the most points per game (123.8) in the NBA this year, White would figure to be an even more attractive fantasy option than he already is when Boston is fully healthy.

  White (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies. White was in danger of missing a game for just the second time this season, but the defensive specialist will be available and should start in the Celtics' backcourt alongside Jrue Holiday. White is averaging 14.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game across his last five outings.

• Celtics' Derrick White: Probable vs. Memphis

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  White is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right foot sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. White doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Saturday's matchup, and the team should have confirmation on his availability later in the day. He'll be on the hunt for a bounce-back performance after being held to six points in 37 minutes Friday night against Milwaukee.

• Celtics' Derrick White: Hands out eight assists in return

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  White (foot) notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat. Returning to Boston's lineup after a one-game absence due to a foot issue, White didn't miss a beat while matching teammate Payton Pritchard with a game-high five three-pointers. White has reached double figures in scoring in each of his last seven games, averaging 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 3.9 three-pointers per contest while shooting 41.5 percent from long range over this frame. The 30-year-old two-way guard has been a gem in nine-category leagues for his ability to contribute across the board all season long, but his usage may not be as high on nights when the Celtics' loaded lineup is at full strength. With that said, White should remain quite efficient on offense in those cases and perhaps be able to place an even bigger emphasis on racking up the defensive stats fantasy managers have grown accustomed to in recent years.
