Celtics' Derrick White: Fills box score in loss
Derrick 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 Boston Celtics roster currently at full strength.

Celtics' Derrick White: Torches Pistons with seven threes
Derrick 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 Boston 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.

Celtics' Derrick White: Hands out eight assists in return
Derrick 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 Boston 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.

While the 30-year-old guard won't suit up Sunday, his original status of questionable suggests the injury will not cause a long-term absence.

Celtics' Derrick White: Iffy for Sunday
Derrick White (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.White left Friday's win over the Bulls midway through the third quarter and didn't return, although the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup suggests the shooting guard avoided a serious injury. If White can't go Sunday, then Payton Pritchard would be an obvious candidate to see more minutes.
