White had six points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.
White has had a rough stretch recently, scoring in single digits in the last three games for Boston. Although White's most significant impact for the Celtics is on the defensive end of the basketball floor, the veteran guard is averaging a career-high 16.2 points per game this season. However, the last three games have been forgettable, averaging 5.0 points and shooting 17.4 percent during that span.

Celtics' Derrick White: Struggles mightily in return
Rotowire
White (illness) chipped in three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to the Kings.
After missing Tuesday's win over Denver with an illness, White struggled mightily in his return to Boston's lineup while scoring a season-low three points Friday. Although the 30-year-old guard's role on offense has become more volatile with the Celtics back at full strength, he's still averaging a solid 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 3.2 threes over his last six games. White's defensive prowess should continue to keep him among fantasy's most balanced assets, particularly in nine-category formats.

Rotowire
White (illness) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Celtics' Derrick White: Could sit Tuesday with illness
Rotowire
White is listed questionable for Tuesday's game versus Denver with an illness.
Boston's initial injury report was clean, but White apparently picked up an illness overnight. His late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his status for Tuesday's contest, but the Celtics will see how he recovers over the day before deciding closer to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff whether he'll play. If White can't go, the Celtics could turn to Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser to pick up some of the slack in the backcourt.

Celtics' Derrick White: Catches fire from deep in win
Rotowire
White logged 23 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes in Friday's 109-86 victory over the Rockets.
With Jaylen Brown (shoulder) ruled out for the second straight game, head coach Joe Mazzulla tapped White for an expanded role. He answered the call by torching the Rockets from deep, which should come as no surprise given that he's among the league leaders in catch-and-shoot three-pointers made per game this season at 2.6, which he makes at a 67.8 percent clip. White will be productive with or without Brown, but once the All-Star guard returns to the lineup, it's safe to expect White's volume in the offense to take a slight hit.

Celtics' Derrick White: Gives spark on both ends in win
Rotowire
White provided 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-115 victory over the Timberwolves.
White provided a nice lift to Boston on both ends of the court against Minnesota, ending as one of three players with five or more threes while concluding second on the team in scoring along with a team-high-tying blocks total. White posted his ninth outing of the season with five or more threes, and he has tallied at least 25 points in three contests thus far.

Celtics' Derrick White: Four blocks in win
Rotowire
White accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 victory over Toronto.
White continues to make his mark on the defensive end of the floor for the Celtics. The veteran guard recorded four blocks against Toronto, helping him maintain a career-high 1.2 per game in that category. White is also averaging a career-high 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game this season.

White (hamstring) will play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Celtics' Derrick White: Questionable to play Wednesday
Rotowire
White is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to right hamstring tightness.
White played 40 minutes during Boston's loss to Orlando on Monday and is nursing a sore hamstring ahead of the Celtics' game on Christmas. Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is also questionable, leaving plenty of uncertainty in the Boston backcourt. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Celtics' injury report as the team's 5:00 ET tipoff approaches.

Celtics' Derrick White: Leads from deep in two-way outing
Rotowire
White racked up 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to Orlando.
White did a little bit of everything for Boston in Monday's defeat, leading all Celtics in three made while securing team-high-tying marks in assists and steals in a well-rounded performance. White tied a season high in steals, a total he has recorded in two other contests. White has tallied 15 or more points in four of his last five outings.

Celtics' Derrick White: Fills box score in loss
Rotowire
White notched 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to Chicago.
Although it was an inefficient shooting night, White filled up the box score Thursday as fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing in recent years. White has posted double-digit points in 12 of his last 13 games, a period in which he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 30-year-old combo guard should continue to be one of the more well-rounded assets for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, and there's reason to believe his shooting efficiency will improve going forward with the star-studded Celtics roster currently at full strength.

Celtics' Derrick White: Torches Pistons with seven threes
Rotowire
White logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over the Pistons.
White stepped up with a full stat line for the Celtics on a night when superstar Jayson Tatum (knee) was out of action, also torching the Pistons by draining a season-high seven three-pointers in Thursday's blowout. In eight games with Tatum unavailable since 2023-24, White is now averaging 19.4 points, 8.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.4 steals and 3.8 three-pointers per contest dating back to last season. If Tatum remains out for Sunday's matchup against a Wizards team allowing the most points per game (123.8) in the NBA this year, White would figure to be an even more attractive fantasy option than he already is when Boston is fully healthy.

Celtics' Derrick White: Available to face Memphis
Rotowire
White (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
White was in danger of missing a game for just the second time this season, but the defensive specialist will be available and should start in the Celtics' backcourt alongside Jrue Holiday. White is averaging 14.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game across his last five outings.

White doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Saturday's matchup, and the team should have confirmation on his availability later in the day. He'll be on the hunt for a bounce-back performance after being held to six points in 37 minutes Friday night against Milwaukee.

Celtics' Derrick White: Hands out eight assists in return
Rotowire
White (foot) notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.
Returning to Boston's lineup after a one-game absence due to a foot issue, White didn't miss a beat while matching teammate Payton Pritchard with a game-high five three-pointers. White has reached double figures in scoring in each of his last seven games, averaging 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 3.9 three-pointers per contest while shooting 41.5 percent from long range over this frame. The 30-year-old two-way guard has been a gem in nine-category leagues for his ability to contribute across the board all season long, but his usage may not be as high on nights when the Celtics' loaded lineup is at full strength. With that said, White should remain quite efficient on offense in those cases and perhaps be able to place an even bigger emphasis on racking up the defensive stats fantasy managers have grown accustomed to in recent years.

White (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Heat, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
White and Jayson Tatum (knee) have been upgraded to available, but Jaylen Brown (illness) remains questionable, while Sam Hauser (personal), Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (knee/rest) and Al Horford (toe/rest) have all been ruled out. Despite missing his first game of the season Sunday, White isn't expected to have any restrictions during the second half of Boston's back-to-back set. Across 14 November contests, White averaged 18.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

Celtics' Derrick White: Iffy for Monday

White (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
After sitting out Sunday's game against the Cavaliers with an injury he picked up Friday, White remains day-to-day. Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for maintenance, while Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (illness) are questionable.

Celtics' Derrick White: Won't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
White (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
White left Friday's win over the Bulls midway through the third quarter and didn't return due to right foot soreness. While the 30-year-old guard won't suit up Sunday, his original status of questionable suggests the injury will not cause a long-term absence. White's next chance to play will come Monday against the Heat. Payton Pritchard should continue to see an uptick in playing time if White remains out.

Celtics' Derrick White: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
White (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
White left Friday's win over the Bulls midway through the third quarter and didn't return, although the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup suggests the shooting guard avoided a serious injury. If White can't go Sunday, then Payton Pritchard would be an obvious candidate to see more minutes. That said, the Celtics could be extremely depleted in the backcourt since Jrue Holiday (groin) is also questionable.
