White wasn't particularly impressive as a scorer Thursday, needing considerable volume from the field to reach 16 points, but he managed to contribute in other ways. He's now snagged five or more rebounds in eight straight matchups and is averaging 5.9 assists over his last seven appearances. White has also recorded two or more steals in three of his last four games.

Celtics' Derrick White: Logs career high in blocks
Rotowire
White notched 27 points (8-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds, seven blocks and six assists across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 129-119 win over the Jazz.
After scoring 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers, White bounced back with a team-high 27 points against Utah. His seven rebounds were also a team-high mark. However, the 6-foot-4 guard's biggest contribution came on the defensive end. The 31-year-old tallied a career-high seven blocks, and he has recorded multiple swats in 11 of his 31 regular-season appearances. He is the first guard and the first Celtics player in NBA history to produce that stat line, according to Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston.

Celtics' Derrick White: Tallies five steals vs. Portland
Rotowire
White registered 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt), five assists, five rebounds, five steals and one block over 40 minutes during the Celtics' 114-108 loss to the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
White set a season high Sunday with five steals, his most in a game since the 2018-19 season as a member of the Spurs. It masked his inefficient performance from the field (particularly from deep), and he has connected on just 34.3 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last four outings. White has been a streaky shooter all season, and he'll look to bounce back Tuesday against the Jazz.

Celtics' Derrick White: Quiet showing in loss
Rotowire
White totaled 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 loss to the Bucks.
It wasn't White's finest performance, as his three dimes were one shy of matching a season low. As long as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) remains on the shelf, however, White should have plenty of opportunities to contribute across the board. Across his last eight games, the star guard has averaged 21.0 points, 5.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals in 33.3 minutes per night.

White rose to the occasion with a season-high 30 points, and he finished one assist and three rebounds shy from logging his first triple-double of the season. The veteran guard would be in line for a large workload against the Lakers on Friday if Brown is not cleared to return.
