Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. The Celtics already locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, this will allow the club to sit White and the rest of their core producers. As a result, Payton Pritchard, who had 15 points and 10 assists in his last start, should be a popular option for DFS managers versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The Celtics secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team can afford to give their core performers a night off, with Jayson Tatum (ankle), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Al Horford (knee) already ruled out. In addition, Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. As a result, the C's may lean heavily on Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman to do most of the heavy lifting out of the backcourt on Wednesday night.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. The toe injury is nothing new. Fortunately, he hasn't missed a game since March 15. White has averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in three meetings with New York this season. However, with Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jaylen Brown (knee) questionable, White may be even more potent on the scoring end, assuming he's cleared to play.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) will be active on Friday against the Miami Heat. He was initially listed as questionable for the game due to a left knee contusion. White has provided steady fantasy value throughout the season, and he has been particularly impressive during the last couple of weeks. Over his past six appearances, White has averaged 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals. With Jaylen Brown (knee) sidelined on Friday, White may receive more shooting opportunities.
Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. White is in danger of missing his first game since January 27 due to a left knee contusion. He has only missed three games this season. White is averaging 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 44.6% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range. Alongside White, Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaylen Brown (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are listed as questionable. If White doesn't suit up tonight, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Portland. He was listed as probable on the injury report heading into this contest after going for 17 points in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. But the low back contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. With Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jrue Holiday (finger) all sidelined versus the Trail Blazers, White should see more than his share of looks at the basket. The same should be true for Payton Pritchard (hip) and Jaylen Brown (illness), who are both cleared to suit up.
Derrick White Listed Probable For Wednesday Against Blazers
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. White has been dealing with a lower back contusion but hasn't missed any games because of it. The 30-year-old should be a solid option against Portland on Wednesday as they've began to allow more threes in their most recent games. White has also averaged 18.0 PPG while shooting 50.9% from three since the All-Star break, making him a strong option for both fantasy managers and DFS players to target.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (shin) is no longer listed on the injury report heading toward Wednesday's game against Chicago. The 30-year-old almost missed Saturday's win over Dallas because of an elbow issue. However, he didn't play on Monday versus Houston because of a shin contusion. With Jayson Tatum (knee), Sam Hauser (hip), and Al Horford (toe) all questionable for Wednesday's contest, White may need to step up on the offensive end, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers. But even if Tatum is available, White remains a must-start in any fantasy format.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (shin) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. The team has ruled him out for the contest after initially listing him as questionable. White's absence should lead to increased roles for Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard on the Celtics backcourt. Pritchard has been the more consistent performer this season, although he has been quiet in recent games. Over the last three contests, Pritchard has averaged only 7.7 points. It won't be easy for him to regain his momentum Monday night, as the Rockets are among the best defensive teams in the league.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (shin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Rockets. He carried a questionable tag because of a sore left knee ahead of Saturday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. However, the 30-year-old was out there, finishing with 23 points. But if White ends up missing his third game of the 2024-25 campaign, Sam Hauser could find his way into the starting lineup, especially if Al Horford (toe) can't suit up. Hauser has been decent as a starter this season, averaging 10.0 points and shooting 45.7% from behind the arc. While that won't make him a viable option in redraft formats, it would increase his value for DFS contests.
