BOS • Guard • #9

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 and Pritchard were initially probable for Saturday’s game, the Celtics’ second in as many nights. They’ll occupy their usual places in the starting lineup without restriction.

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.

White actually led the Celtics in shot attempts with 20 in the first regular season game since Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles in the playoffs last year. The 31-year-old shooting guard tied for the Celtics’ lead in points with 25, but he had an off shooting night from behind the three-point line going 4-of-13. It’s clear that major opportunity is there for White this year and he’ll have better nights with his efficiency in the future.

Payton Pritchard struggled and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) exited early, but White stepped up in a big way. White didn’t play the entire game, since it was just an exhibition, but he certainly left his mark. Especially if Brown ends up missing time, White will have a chance to have the best season of his career and dominate in fantasy basketball. Even if the Celtics aren’t able to win as much as they typically have in recent years, White can still help managers win fantasy championships.

Among the players the Celtics bid farewell to this offseason was Jrue Holiday, whose departure means White’s role should expand in 2025-26. Add in Jayson Tatum’s absence, and this could be a massive season for a player whose game has long been “fantasy-friendly.” White accumulated 10 assists on Wednesday, a number he’s met or exceeded 14 times in the last three seasons. As of October 8, White boasted a Yahoo! ADP of 38.1; don’t be surprised if he’s off the board by the end of the third round in some 12-team leagues.

After going off for 34 points in a valiant Game 5 performance on Wednesday, White could not find his groove on Friday. He shot 2-of-8 from beyond the arc and provided limited value as a playmaker in Boston’s season finale. After a surprisingly elite fantasy season in the Celtics’ run to the championship last season, White was a top-50 player in 2024-25. That aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (48), which may be a bit higher next season due to Jayson Tatum’s ruptured Achilles tendon.

In the wake of Jayson Tatum’s Achilles tear, Boston needed someone to step up on the offensive end. White filled the void with his highest-scoring performance of the postseason and his most points in a game since early March. White struggled in the first two games of this series but has made at least 50 percent of his shots in each of his last three games. He has been able to fill whatever role the Celtics have needed him to fill since he was traded to Boston, and he should continue to be a primary scoring option for them as they head to New York for Game 6.

White was the only consistent scorer for Boston outside of Jayson Tatum. The 30-year-old point guard got all of his points on six three-pointers and five free throws. Unfortunately for the Celtics it wasn’t enough as Boston was trailing when Tatum went down with a lower leg injury in the final minutes, essentially taking a comeback off the table. The Celtics will look to stave off elimination with their backs against the wall at home in Game 5 on Wednesday.

White had a strong night overall, though most of his work was done in the first half. He had 14 of his 20 points and all three of his three-pointers in the first half. White has shot a poor percentage through the first two games of this series, but he has been their best threat from beyond the arc. Boston will need White to be at his best in Game 3 on Saturday to avoid going down 0-3 in the series.

While White did lead the Celtics with five three-pointers in Game 1, he needed 16 attempts to hit that number. As a team, the reigning champs shot 15-of-60 from beyond the arc, setting NBA playoff records for most attempts in a game and lowest percentage for a team that attempted at least 50 three-pointers. White recorded a solid overall stat line outside the steals category, but his field-goal percentage took a significant hit. He and the Celtics will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Wednesday.

While he wasn’t as explosive offensively as he was in Sunday’s Game 1 victory, White performed well as Boston took a 2-0 series lead on Wednesday. The issue for him was three-point shooting, as the Celtics guard was just 3-of-10 on the night. However, White recorded solid rebound and assist numbers and was third on the team in scoring. Backcourt partner Jrue Holiday added 11 points, four rebounds, six assists and one blocked shot as Boston successfully navigated not having Jayson Tatum due to his wrist injury. Game 3 is on Friday in Orlando.

White was one of the Celtics who stepped up to lead the reigning champions to a win in Sunday’s series opener. With Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis (5/6/2/4/1 in 26 minutes) combining to score 38 points on 15-of-44 shooting, White came up huge, making at least two shots in all four quarters. He had one 30-point game during last season’s run to the title, Boston’s Game 4 win over the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Given the strength of Orlando’s wing defenders, this may be a series in which the Celtics’ guards are difference-makers, as was the case in Game 1. Game 2 is on Wednesday night.
