Impact White returned for the start of the postseason after missing Boston's final two games of the regular season with an ankle injury, crossing the 20-point mark while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding as one of two players with 20 or more points in a Game 1 victory. White surpassed the 20-point mark in 19 games over the regular season, doing so for the first time since recording 22 points on March 28.

Available to face Miami on Sunday White (ankle) is not on the injury report and will be available to face the Heat on Sunday.

Impact White missed Boston's final two games of the regular season, but that was because the team was being cautious with him and wanted to keep him fresh for the postseason. As such, expect White to handle his regular workload in the backcourt alongside Jrue Holiday. White averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds across 32.6 minutes per game in the regular season.

Won't play Sunday White (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

Impact White will sit out yet again, though the Celtics are likely erring on the side of caution for the season finale. For now, fantasy managers should anticipate that White will be ready for the playoffs.

Unavailable against Charlotte White (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics have clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, so White and the team's other key contributors will get the night off in the second half of a back-to-back set. White's final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against Washington.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Charlotte White is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact With the Celtics already locking up the top seed in the Eastern Conference, it wouldn't be surprising for White to sit out Friday's contest. If White is ultimately ruled out, Payton Pritchard and Jaden Springer are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Nears double-double in return White had 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, nine assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 124-107 victory over Portland.

Impact White returned to the court Sunday after missing Boston's previous game with a back contusion, going on to lead all Celtics in assists while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes and concluding as one of three players with 15 or more points. White has distributed nine or more assists in six games this season, adding 15 or more points in five of those outings.

Good to go against Portland White (back) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers. Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact White will return to action Sunday after missing Boston's previous contest with a back contusion. White is averaging 18.2 points, 6.2 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 35.6 minutes across his last 10 outings.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Friday White (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Sacramento, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact White appeared in the Celtics' last four games, but he'll be unavailable for Friday's matchup due to a low back contusion. Jaylen Brown (hand) will also be sidelined against the Kings, so Sam Hauser, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard and Svi Mykhailiuk could see increased roles Friday.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday White is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings due to a low back contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact White recently missed a game due to a right hand sprain, but he's appeared in the Celtics' last four games, averaging 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 35.0 minutes per game. However, he's dealing with a back issue following Wednesday's blowout win over Oklahoma City, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Friday. Since Jaylen Brown (hand) is also questionable for Friday's matchup, Sam Hauser, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard and Svi Mykhailiuk could see plenty of run in the backcourt against Sacramento.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 22 points in upset loss White produced 22 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.

Impact White returned from a one-game absence and continues to play at an extremely high level in what has been a career-best season for him. He's now scored at least 17 points in each of his last five outings, topping the 20-point mark three times in that stretch. Even though he holds a secondary role in an offense led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, White remains an absolute must-start player in fantasy since he plays a solid two-way role for one of the best teams in the league while also shooting the ball at a very efficient clip from beyond the arc.

Not on injury report for Thursday White (hand) isn't listed on Boston's injury report for Thursday's game against the Hawks, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Impact White was sidelined for Monday's loss to the Hawks due to a right hand sprain but will suit up for Thursday's rematch. Over his last eight appearances, White has averaged 17.4 points, 7.1 assists, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 35.6 minutes per game.

Ruled out Monday White (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact White will join Jrue Holiday (shoulder) on the sidelines Monday, opening up more playing time for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. White's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch versus Atlanta, but the Celtics may take a cautious approach with the defensive-minded guard, as they've already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Added to injury report White is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks due to a right hand sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact It's unclear as to when White picked up the injury, but he'll be worth monitoring leading up to Monday's tipoff. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) already ruled out, Sam Hauser and Jaden Springer would likely be in line for an uptick in playing time if White can't go.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Falls just short of triple-double White contributed 19 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over Detroit.

Impact The double-double was his fifth of the season, and White was two boards short of his second career triple-double -- the first of which came Monday, also against the Pistons. The 29-year-old guard has been productive against other opponents too, and through 11 games in March he has averaged 14.5 points, 7.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 threes, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes eight dimes Wednesday White logged 23 points (8-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-119 win over the Bucks.

Impact White has now logged 20-plus points in three of his last four games and has filled a bigger role in running the offense with Jrue Holiday (shoulder) sidelined. White's defense has gotten a lot of attention this season (and in Wednesday's game when he blocked two shots), but he has taken his offensive game to another level and is shooting a career-high 40.2 percent from three on 6.7 3PA/G.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first career triple-double White closed Monday's 119-94 win over the Pistons with 22 points (8-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes. He also had three turnovers...

Impact White bombed away Monday, leading to his 13th game with at least five made threes through 63 appearances this year. White's versatile production came while Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) were inactive Monday, but he's kicked into another gear over his last five games, averaging 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.4 assists while attempting 14.4 shots a night.

Not listed on injury report White (hand) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Monday's game versus Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact White took a seat for the front end of Boston's back-to-back Sunday, but he'll return to action Monday. Boston's injury report is long again, so if Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) join Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Al Horford (toe/rest) on the sidelines, White could be in store for elevated offensive usage.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday White will not play Sunday against the Wizards due to a left hand sprain, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and the Celtics have the luxury of being cautious due to a comfortable lead at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. With White sidelined, Jrue Holiday could see more usage and Payton Pritchard could step into a larger role.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Drains seven triples in win White chipped in 24 points (8-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 win over the Jazz.

Impact White led a Boston lineup that shot 40.8 percent from behind the arc versus Utah's porous perimeter defense. With Jaylen Brown (back) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) both out, White was second on the team with 17 shot attempts. White also led Boston in point differential with a plus-15 rating and is now averaging an impressive 2.3 steals-plus-blocks per contest. The NBA-leading Celtics return home Thursday to face the Suns.
