Struggles mightily in return 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.

Impact 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.

Good to go against Sacramento White (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Kings.

Impact White will return to action Friday after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. White is averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 blocks in 34.0 minutes across his last 10 outings.

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

Impact White has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. White's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Sacramento.

Downgraded to questionable White (illness) is now questionable for Tuesday's game versus Denver.

Impact Boston's initial injury report was clean, but White woke up under the weather. His late addition to the injury report does not bode well for his status, and the Celtics could turn to Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser to pick up some of the slack if White is unable to play.

Catches fire from deep in win 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 victory over the Rockets.

Impact 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.

Gives spark on both ends in win 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.

Impact 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, tallying at least 25 points in three contests thus far.

Impact White continues to make his mark on the defensive end of the basketball floor for the Celtics.

White is also averaging a career-high 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game this season.

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

Impact White will suit up for a 10th consecutive contest despite dealing with right hamstring soreness Wednesday. Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is inactive, leaving White and Payton Pritchard as likely starters in Boston's backcourt.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Wednesday White is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact 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.

Leads from deep in two-way outing 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.

Impact 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.

Fills box score in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Torches Pistons with seven threes 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.

Impact White stepped up with a full stat line for the Celtics on a night where 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.
