Derrick White DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) will be active on Friday against the Miami Heat. He was initially listed as questionable for the game due to a left knee contusion. White has provided steady fantasy value throughout the season, and he has been particularly impressive during the last couple of weeks. Over his past six appearances, White has averaged 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals. With Jaylen Brown (knee) sidelined on Friday, White may receive more shooting opportunities.

Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. White is in danger of missing his first game since January 27 due to a left knee contusion. He has only missed three games this season. White is averaging 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 44.6% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range. Alongside White, Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaylen Brown (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are listed as questionable. If White doesn't suit up tonight, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Portland. He was listed as probable on the injury report heading into this contest after going for 17 points in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. But the low back contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. With Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jrue Holiday (finger) all sidelined versus the Trail Blazers, White should see more than his share of looks at the basket. The same should be true for Payton Pritchard (hip) and Jaylen Brown (illness), who are both cleared to suit up.
