Derrick White Back In Celtics Lineup Monday
Derrick White (foot) will rejoin the lineup for Monday's tilt against Miami. White was unavailable as Boston kicked off a back-to-back on Sunday versus Cleveland, and he was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game. Jrue Holiday (knee) will not take the court on Monday, meaning White will have extra responsibilities. He has contributed well across the board all season, averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals.

Derrick White Won't Suit Up Versus The Magic
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.

Derrick White Expected To Suit Up Versus New York
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.

Derrick White Cleared For Action Friday
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.

Derrick White Uncertain For Friday
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.
