White brought a little extra against his former organization, finishing just shy of his fourth 30-point performance of the season. The 31-year-old guard provided his usual blend of scoring and defensive impact in this one, notching four stocks, while coming up just short of reaching double-digit rebounds for the first time this year. He’s been one of the hottest all-around players in the fantasy landscape of late, averaging an absurd 19.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.5 blocks in eight games over the past two weeks. The Celtics are in line for a three-game week that includes road showdowns against the Pacers, Heat and Hawks.

White has been one of the most impactful fantasy contributors over the past two weeks, delivering first-round value during that seven-game span, averaging 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and a staggering 2.6 blocks. The 31-year-old defensive wizard became just the fourth player 6-foot-4 or under to record 500 career blocks earlier this week and has notched at least two blocks in five of his last six games.

Being the best shot-blocking guard in the NBA gives White’s fantasy value a welcome boost, especially in category leagues. He recorded three more rejections on Wednesday, extending his streak with at least one to 11 consecutive games. Due partly to that production, White has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. The Celtics return to action on Friday against the Raptors.

Jaylen Brown’s 50-point explosion will grab most of the headlines in this one-sided affair, but White remains the unheralded straw that stirs the metaphorical drink on both ends of the floor. The 31-year-old guard, who ranks second in the league in “stocks” (steals and blocks), added three more to the ledger while defending Clippers superstars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, who were held to fewer than 25 points each. He’s topped 20 points in eight of his last 14 games since December 2.

On the heels of a seven-block performance against the Jazz, White was much quieter as a shot blocker on Thursday. Still, he accumulated four stocks on the defensive end to go along with his team-high in assists and his second consecutive game with at least 15 points. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, prevented him from having a great final line. Still, he was solid and continues to put up good fantasy production.

Not only did White lead Boston in scoring in the win, but he made a tremendous impact on the defensive end. One of the best shot-blocking guards in recent history set a new career high for blocked shots in the win. Despite still shooting just below 40 percent over the course of the season, White now ranks inside the top-25 in nine-category leagues this year. He has been even better as of late and has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks.

White had 33 points in Friday’s win over the Heat, but has now scored 34 points over two games since then. The 31-year-old point guard contributes in the other categories as well, though. White is averaging 5.3 assists this month and also has seven blocks over his last four games.

What a phenomenal outing it was for White. After scoring a season-high 31 points on Monday, he surpassed that mark in this one to set a new season high for scoring. He also matched his career high for triples and provided blocks from the guard position like only he can. White has been on a tear after a slow shooting start to the season, and he has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks.

After scoring 33 points in the first quarter, the Celtics were limited to 24 in each of the final three periods. That was the difference, even with White getting hot and shooting 5-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter. The 31 points were a season-high for the Celtics guard, who last hit the 30-point mark in a December 4 win over the Wizards. While Jaylen Brown does more scoring, White remains the superior option in category leagues, especially those that factor in turnovers.

While White did not record any steals on Sunday, the three blocked shots were the most in a game for him since November 23. The Celtics guard continues to provide excellent category league value, ranking well within the top-50 in eight- and nine-cat formats. White will only have one game on the schedule for Week 8, with the Celtics visiting the Bucks on Thursday.

The main knock on White this season has been a rough field goal percentage, but this was the third straight game he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor. He’s shooting 38.8 percent this season, which is a terrible mark, but it’s slowly getting better. He didn’t contribute many defensive stats in this game, but the career highs in assists, steals and blocks have allowed White to have an excellent season thus fatr.

With Jaylen Brown (illness) out, the available Celtics had more opportunities to shine offensively against an overwhelmed opponent. White led the way, recording his first 30-point game of the season while also providing excellent value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Even better for the Celtics was that he only needed to play 29 minutes, as they host the Lakers on Friday.

White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard’s floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he’s providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Payton Pritchard (10/4/3/1 with one three-pointer) took a hit production-wise with White back in the lineup, but that was to be expected after his outstanding performance in Cleveland.

White and Queta are available after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Their returns mean that Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman head back to the bench, but only Hauser is guaranteed to play rotation minutes. Boston’s other three starters are unchanged.

As expected, both players will take the court after sitting out Sunday on the second leg of Boston’s back-to-back set. White and Queta should handle their usual workloads with the starting five.

White did not play in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers, which was Boston’s second game in as many nights. His anticipated return on Tuesday would push Sam Hauser to the bench, leaving the veteran forward with little streaming value.

White played through his calf injury Saturday, but he’ll sit out the second leg of the Celtics’ back-to-back set. White is presumably getting the night off for maintenance, and fantasy managers should pencil him in to return on Tuesday against the Knicks. With White on the sideline, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons should pick up additional minutes.

White is available after being listed as probable with a right calf contusion. The 31-year-old point guard had 27 points and made six three-pointers in 31 minutes against the Pistons on Wednesday. White is in line to play without limitations against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

White didn’t do much during the first half, scoring just two points on 0-of-3 shooting from the field. He did whatever needed to be done at the halftime break, because the Celtics guard was far more assertive on offense. White scored 25 second-half points, shooting 7-of-10 from the field. Despite the many roster changes over the offseason, White’s scoring has decreased. Of course, he’s more of a focal point for opposing defenses this season, and that also impacts White’s ability to put up points. The good news is that he’s still providing top-50 value, as testament to his all-around skill set.

White didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, as he continues to struggle in that regard. However, the all-around production is why he remains such a valuable player for category league managers. White recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday and has been a top-15 player over the past week. And he’s shot 44.2 percent from the field, which aligns with his career number (44.1). The shots will fall at a higher clip eventually, and fantasy managers can still receive solid value from White as they wait for that to happen.

White helped Boston build a commanding lead early on with 15 points and seven rebounds in the opening half as the Celtics shot 49 percent (25-of-51) and 9-of-20 (45 percent) from three-point range during that span. He drilled a key three-pointer with just over one minute remaining and hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 ticks left to help Boston hold off a late rally from Los Angeles. The 31-year-old point guard has performed at a third-round level for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks through 14 contests.

White was one of two Celtics players to score 20 or more points on Wednesday. His total likely could’ve been greater if not for a lopsided victory limiting him to only 26 minutes of game action. Nonetheless, he was efficient, productive from deep, and was involved in several areas throughout the game. White has now tallied four straight games with at least 16 points. He’ll look to stay productive against the Clippers on Sunday.

Regardless of how many points he scores, White consistently provides fantasy managers with excellent value. Sunday was his first game with at least 20 points since Boston’s season opener against the 76ers, and he also provided solid value in assists, steals and three-pointers. White is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and history suggests he’s capable of being even better as the season progresses. Boston plays three games during Week 4, but only one will be played after Wednesday.

White was one of three Celtics starters to score at least 16 points, and his 10 assists were a season-high for the guard. Unsurprisingly, he continues to provide excellent fantasy value, ranking within the top-50 in nine-cat formats. The hope for fantasy managers is that White can pick up the scoring, as he has not recorded a 20-point game since the season-opening loss to the 76ers.

White struggled with his shot on Wednesday. He made just two of his eight two-point attempts and was 3-of-12 from three. The good news for fantasy managers is that White was perfect at the charity stripe while providing decent value in the rebound and assist categories. Given how well he’s performed in recent years, fantasy managers should consider Wednesday’s performance to be a blip on the radar for White. He’ll look to bounce back when the Celtics visit the 76ers on Friday.

Initially probable for Sunday’s matchup, White’s status has been upgraded to available. He’ll take on his usual role as one of Boston’s top offensive options, and White will likely spend most of his afternoon on defense guarding Cade Cunningham. With Jaylen Brown (hamstring) still questionable, the Celtics may need even more offensive production from White.

White pops up on the injury report with a sprain in his shooting wrist, but it isn’t expected to impact his availability on Sunday. It’s worth monitoring over the next few games, but there’s no reason to take him out of your lineup against Detroit.

After dropping 25 points and sinking four three-pointers in the first game of the season, it wasn’t as easy for White in the second game. White was 3-of-11 from behind the three-point line on his way to a 5-of-18 performance from the field and 15 points. Without Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday from last year’s Celtics, they need more consistent scoring from White.
