White continues to prove why he's one of the most versatile guards in the NBA today, as he helped Boston take a commanding 3-1 series lead Sunday with an impressive all-around performance. The 30-year-old veteran dished out a game-high seven assists while helping shoulder the backcourt load in Jrue Holiday's (hamstring) absence for a second straight game.

Celtics' Derrick White: Drops 30 points in Game 1 win
Rotowire
White logged 30 points (10-18 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 103-86 victory over Orlando in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
White was fantastic in the Game 1 victory while recording a team-high scoring figure. Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were far from their best, while Kristaps Porzingis also struggled on the offensive end. White took it upon himself to shoulder the bulk of the scoring load, an indication of how much he has improved in that capacity over the past couple of years. The Celtics will look to take a 2-0 series lead when the two teams meet again in Boston on Wednesday.

Celtics' Derrick White: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
White produced 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-103 victory over the Suns.
White was one of two Celtics players who finished close to posting a triple-double in this win Friday, with Jayson Tatum being the other. White ended one rebound and three assists away from reaching that outcome, and he was also sharp from beyond the arc while the duo of Tatum and Jaylen Brown carried Boston to a 20-point victory. White isn't expected to lead the Celtics in scoring in most games, but his value in fantasy lies in his capacity to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis. He's averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and a combined 1.9 steals-plus-blocks per game in 73 starts in 2024-25.

The veteran guard remains a rock-solid contributor for the Celtics. While he doesn't often hit for a ceiling game with his offense, White provides a very stable fantasy floor, scoring in double digits with multiple three-pointers in 11 straight appearances. Over that stretch, White is averaging 15.9 points, 6.5 assists, 5.5 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals.

White struggled badly with his shot and needed 13 shots to score 13 points, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook that based on how good he looked in other categories. White ended just two rebounds shy of recording his first triple-double of the season, and as long as he can continue filling out the stat sheet, he'll remain an excellent fantasy alternative in all formats.

White recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 win over the Trail Blazers.
With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) sidelined, White finished just two assists away from a double-double, but he did more than distribute the rock. Racking up stats left and right has been a trend for White since joining the Celtics. He's averaging 18.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of March (nine appearances).
