Derrick White Provides 15 Points In Game 1 Win
Derrick White didn't need to break out the heroics in Game 1 for the team to notch a blowout win over the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard finished with 15 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and two turnovers while shooting 5-for-11 from the floor and 3-for-8 from downtown. The fact that this seemed like a down game for White is a problem for the Mavericks. The offensive firepower ran through Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis in this one, but White has the ability to lead the team in scoring on any given night. His defense has also been a key piece in their success and he'll look to do more of the same in Game 2 on Sunday.

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 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.
