Derrick White Impactful At Both Ends In Sunday's Win
10 months agoBoston Celtics guard Derrick White had a good two-way performance as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals against Dallas with a 105-98 win on Sunday. White posted 18 points with five rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks. His second swat came late in the game against P.J. Washington at the rim to stop Dallas' comeback effort. The two-time NBA All-Defensive Second Team member struggled a bit with his shooting, going 6-for-15 from the field, but he nailed four of his 10 attempts from behind the arc. White's three-point shooting provided a big boost to the Celtics, who otherwise had a miserable night from downtown with a 10-for-39 record. We should see White get involved in everything again on Wednesday as Boston tries to take a 3-0 lead in the series.

Derrick White Uncertain For Friday
2 weeks agoBoston 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.

Derrick White Active Against The Blazers
4 weeks agoBoston 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
4 weeks agoBoston 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.

Derrick White Off The Injury Report For Wednesday
2 months agoBoston 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.
