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.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) will play on Saturday versus Dallas. He popped up on the injury report because of left knee soreness. However, while it's something fantasy managers should monitor moving forward, the ailment won't keep him off the floor for the NBA Finals rematch. The 30-year-old has averaged 15.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, all career-highs. With White available, Sam Hauser and Al Horford should see fewer minutes, lowering their fantasy ceilings for Saturday night.
Derrick White Now Questionable To Play Versus Dallas
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) has been added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's game with the Mavericks. The veteran is questionable because of knee soreness, putting him in danger of missing his third game of the 2024-25 campaign. If White isn't available against Dallas, there are a number of directions head coach Joe Mazzulla could go regarding the starting lineup. However, it's reasonable to assume Al Horford or Sam Hauser could start the game, although both would be in line for more work if White doesn't play regardless of their roles. The same can be said for Payton Pritchard.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. The Celtics will take the cautious approach and hold out White for Tuesday's contest. The absence of White should mean more playing time for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser in the rotation. Pritchard posted a dud last time out, but he's the more consistent streaming option between the two for Tuesday's slate.
