Celtics' Derrick White: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
White (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
A back contusion won't stop White from suiting up Wednesday, and the star guard should see plenty of playmaking opportunities in the absences of Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Across his last six outings, White has averaged 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.7 three-pointers in 34.4 minutes.

Celtics' Derrick White: Working through back injury
Rotowire
White is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a low back contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
White has missed only three games this season, and he's likely to take the floor Wednesday despite being on the injury report due to a back injury. White's presence will be crucial for the Celtics if they are without Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Jaylen Brown (illness), both of whom are listed as questionable. White has shot 46.3 percent from three-point range on 9.0 3PA/G since the beginning of February, and over that span, he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

Celtics' Derrick White: Scores 16, drains four treys
Rotowire
White closed Friday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers with 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and three steals across 41 minutes.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics on offense, as they combined for 83 of the team's 116 points, but White still found a way to contribute, particularly with his long-range shooting. This was the fourth game in a row in which White drained at least four triples, and while he's not expected to carry Boston on offense in any given game, he remains extremely valuable for the team, both in real life and fantasy, due to his elite shooting and overall contributions. He's averaging 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 52.3 percent from deep since the All-Star break.

Rotowire
White ended Thursday's 124-104 victory over Philadelphia with 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes.
White produced his second double-double of the season while grabbing 10 rebounds, one shy of the team-high mark behind Jayson Tatum's 11 boards Thursday. The 30-year-old combo guard's defensive stats have dried out a bit of late, but he's maintained steady averages of 17.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.6 three-pointers while shooting 41.9 percent from deep over his last 10 games.

Celtics' Derrick White: Near double-double vs. San Antonio
Rotowire
White finished Wednesday's 116-103 win over the Spurs with 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes.
White led both teams in assists Wednesday and finished as the Celtics' third-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (32) and Kristaps Porzingis (29). White has gone 5-for-19 from three-point range over his last two games, but part of that has to do with the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee). Opposing defenses will be forced to pay more attention to Brown once he returns, which should open the floor up for White and the rest of the Celtics' offense.

Celtics' Derrick White: Off the injury report for Wednesday
Rotowire
White (shin) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Following a one-game absence with a right shin contusion in Monday's loss to the Rockets, White is all set to return to Boston's starting lineup Wednesday. With Jayson Tatum (knee) iffy against Chicago, White could have some more usage on his hands.

Celtics' Derrick White: Not playing Monday vs. Rockets
Rotowire
White (shin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Houston, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
White was added to Sunday's injury report due to a right shin contusion, and it appears serious enough for him to miss just his third game of the regular season. With Sam Hauser (hip) also ruled out, Al Horford will likely be inserted into the Celtics' starting lineup, and Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard will be tasked with a bigger responsibilities on both ends of the floor in White's absence. White's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Bulls.

Celtics' Derrick White: Questionable to face Houston
Rotowire
White (shin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
White likely picked up the injury during the Celtics' 122-107 win over the Mavericks on Saturday. Sam Hauser and Al Horford (toe) would be the top two candidates to enter the starting lineup if White is unable to play.
White amassed 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 win over the Mavericks.
White played through a recent knee concern, scoring at least 20 points for the third time in the past five games. Although his scoring numbers have been serviceable in those three games, it has been the remaining games where the issues have arisen. He has scored in single digits in five of the past nine games. He has also shot a woeful 36.7 percent from the field over the previous two weeks.

Celtics' Derrick White: Available vs. Dallas
Rotowire
White (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
White has struggled to play consistently well lately, as he's been very hot and cold for the defending NBA champions. However, the veteran guard is still one of the best defensive players on the team and is crucial to Boston's success during the team's title defense.

Celtics' Derrick White: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
White is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to left knee soreness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
White was limited to just three points, three rebounds and three assists in Thursday's loss to the Lakers while logging 19 minutes, and perhaps his knee soreness had something to do with the low minutes total he recorded. If he's out, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are options to enter the starting lineup.

Celtics' Derrick White: Puts up 20 points in OT win
Rotowire
White had 20 points (7-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers.
White has been very inconsistent with his scoring figures of late, and while he's posted at least 20 points in two of his last three outings, it's worth noting he's also notched four single-digit scoring outputs over his last seven appearances. White often plays a secondary role in the Celtics' offensive scheme, but fantasy managers would certainly welcome an uptick in his overall scoring numbers going forward.

Celtics' Derrick White: Pops for 21 in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
White recorded 21 points (7-20 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 overtime loss to the Hawks.
The veteran guard had gone just 5-for-36 (13.9 percent) from three-point range over his last five appearances and hadn't scored more than 12 points, so White's performance was encouraging even in a losing effort. The eight boards also tied his season high. White is still on pace for a career-best campaign, averaging 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.3 threes, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals over 40 contests.
