White, who dropped 34 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, is dealing with a right knee contusion. If he’s unable to play, that may open the door for Baylor Scheierman to move back into the starting lineup. Scheierman could even start if White does play, as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is also questionable.

White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points. The 31-year-old point guard also had five rebounds, seven assists and a block on defense. White has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Celtics have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Thunder on Thursday.

White has scored 20 points or more in five of the eight games he’s played since the All-Star break, averaging 18.2 points per game. While he’s only made 42.1 percent of his attempts from the field since the break, that’s two percentage points higher than his number for the season. And with everything that White brings to the table, the field-goal percentage has not done much harm to his category league value.

White shot the ball well on Wednesday, making over half of his shot attempts and knocking down all eight of his free throws. However, his efforts weren’t enough to keep the Celtics from getting run off their home court. In the 118-89 defeat, only White and Jaylen Brown reached double figures for the Celtics, who shot 38 percent from the field and 10-of-36 from three. Boston plays twice more in Week 19, starting with the Mavericks on Friday.

An issue for White on Monday was his shooting from inside the arc, as he made just one of his six attempts on the night. However, shooting struggles have rarely prevented the Celtics guard from providing excellent overall value. The nine assists were the most in a game for White since February 11, and he has recorded eight or more in six of his last eight appearances. White will look to clean up the shooting in Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.

White posted a full stat line in Sunday’s win over the 76ers. The 31-year-old point guard had 21 points on 16 field goal attempts and five three-pointers. White also had eight assists and an impact on the defensive end with two steals and two blocks. White has provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. He should still maintain solid value whenever Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returns.

With Jaylen Brown and Nikola Vučević scoring 28 points apiece, White was able to take a back seat offensively in the 148-111 victory. Eight of his nine shot attempts came from beyond the arc, and the Celtics guard still offered excellent value in assists and “stocks.” As fantasy managers have seen all season, White doesn’t need to be prolific as a scorer to provide excellent fantasy value.

White has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games, the first time he’s done so since mid-December. However, looks can be deceiving. White scored 18 of his 20 points in the second quarter, shooting 6-of-7 from the field. White’s overall stat line was a good one, as has been the case on nights when he’s shot the ball even worse than he did in Denver. But things could have been even better for him in the final game of Boston’s road trip.

With Jaylen Brown unavailable due to injury, the Celtics needed a bit more from White offensively than they’ve received recently. Unsurprisingly, he answered the call, recording his first 20-point game since before the All-Star break while shooting 50 percent from the field. Of course, the improved scoring output didn’t prevent White from recording a complete stat line, which included four defensive contributions. Even when the shots aren’t falling, White remains one of the best guards to roster in category leagues.

White recorded another complete stat line in Sunday’s win over the Lakers, continuing to provide excellent fantasy value despite shooting less than 40 percent from the field. Obviously, making strides in that category would raise White’s ceiling in category leagues, but he does enough in the other categories to minimize the damage done by that one deficiency. The Celtics open their four-game Week 18 on Tuesday in Phoenix.

White’s ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him so valuable to the Celtics and fantasy managers. He didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but the veteran guard put up excellent numbers in the rebound, assist and blocked shot categories. Over the past three weeks, White has been close to a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, while providing top-50 value in eight-cat, according to Basketball Monster. The Celtics end Week 17 with a game against the Lakers on Sunday.

White shot the ball well on Sunday, which has not been the norm for him this season. The Celtics guard is shooting 39 percent from the field, but his fantasy value remains excellent due to his production across multiple categories. White did not record any defensive stats on Sunday, but that has not been the norm for him. He’ll look to go into the All-Star break on a high note when the Celtics face the Bulls on Wednesday.

While he didn’t shoot the ball well on Friday, category league managers didn’t take much of a haircut because of White’s overall value. After totaling four blocked shots in his previous seven games, White matched that number on Friday. The four rejections were three shy of his season and career-highs, which were recorded on December 30 against the Jazz. Despite the low field-goal percentage, White is providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

After shooting 4-of-13 from the field in Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks, White was better as the Celtics used a huge third quarter to win in Houston without Jaylen Brown. The Celtics’ guard finished with his first 20-point game in nearly a month, as the 28 points were the most for him since a January 10 loss to the Spurs. However, even with the decreased field-goal percentage, White’s fantasy value has been fine because of everything else that he brings to the table. The Celtics head home for their final two games of Week 16, Friday against the Heat and Sunday against the Knicks.

White didn’t shoot the ball well on Tuesday, and he’s making just 39 percent of his attempts on the season. However, his ability to provide value across the stat line is why he remains such a valuable player in fantasy basketball. White recorded a team-high eight assists on Tuesday, the third straight game he’s finished with at eight or more. He’ll look to clean up the shooting some on Wednesday against the Rockets.

White filled the stat sheet on Sunday, with a blocked shot being the only thing missing from his line. The Celtics’ guard continues to provide excellent fantasy value, especially for those competing in category leagues. Heading into the final full week of play before the All-Star break, White is providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Celtics play four games in Week 16, beginning with a road back-to-back against the Mavericks and Rockets.

White recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday, but the numbers were modest by his standards. The Celtics guard is still offering third-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. White’s skill set makes him a fantasy favorite in category league formats, and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

In terms of shooting the basketball, White had a relatively efficient night at the office. However, he had the worst game of his NBA career from a turnover standpoint. White was responsible for eight, two more than his previous career-high and double his season-high. To put the eight turnovers in perspective, he totaled nine in his last six games. The good news for fantasy managers is that high-turnover nights aren’t the norm for White, so there’s no need to panic.

White did not play in Friday’s double-overtime win over the Nets, with Baylor Scheierman playing 34 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. If Jaylen Brown (hamstring), who’s listed as probable, can’t play on Saturday, Scheierman could remain in the starting lineup.

Given what the Nets showed in their 120-66 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday, it makes sense for the Celtics to give one of their mainstays Friday night off. With White unavailable, Baylor Scheierman may be the player most likely to move into the starting lineup. While not a must-stream player, the second-year guard will have every opportunity to offer tangible value if he starts.

White has had an excellent season despite a poor field goal percentage, but the last few games have been rough for him as a scorer. Over his last three games, White is averaging 6.3 points per game on 22.7 percent shooting. However, he’s also averaging 6.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.7 blocks per game during that stretch. He’ll get back on track offensively, but it is encouraging that he can still make an impact even when he’s ineffective as a scorer.

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.
