Derrick White's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Kings. He's on the injury report with a lower back contusion. The versatile guard has been quite durable for Boston and would be out for only the seventh time this season if he doesn't feel well enough to play. Payton Pritchard has been the main beneficiary of Boston's backcourt injuries and should receive a larger role again on Friday without White. Jaylen Brown (hand) is also questionable for the game, and his absence would give Pritchard even more fantasy value. It's a good matchup as well from a fantasy perspective, as Sacramento plays with a higher pace than Boston but struggles defensively.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White isn't listed on the league's official injury report heading toward Thursday's rematch with the Hawks. White wasn't in the lineup when these clubs met on Monday because of a hand issue. Yet, this injury isn't new, so he likely just got the night off to take a breather. Sam Hauser got the start, although he finished with just six points. With Al Horford (toe) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) questionable for Thursday, there could still be room for Hauser to remain with the first five. Considering Hauser had double-digit scoring performances in five of his previous seven games means he has an excellent chance to bounce back.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) won't play in Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Jayson Tatum (ankle) missed time recently, so it's White's turn to get the night off. There's nothing to suggest his hand sprain is severe, meaning he could be back in the lineup for the rematch on Thursday evening. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) also sidelined, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are expected to slide into the starting lineup, giving them a higher ceiling for fantasy managers.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) draws a questionable tag for their Monday night game against the Atlanta Hawks. This sprained hand hasn't forced him to miss a game yet, so the team will see how it feels the day of the game during shootaround. White has not only been a big part of the Celtics' success this season but he's been an amazing contributor to fantasy teams in all formats. If White is unable to play in this one, the Celtics could decide to either replace him with Payton Pritchard or they could go with a bigger lineup and throw Al Horford in at power forward next to Kristaps Porzingis. Either way, Pritchard has been a solid streaming option whenever given the minutes.

The Boston Celtics have removed guard Derrick White (hand) from the injury report ahead of Monday's tilt versus the Detroit Pistons. After sitting out Sunday's rout of the last-place Washington Wizards with a sprained left hand, White is back against another last-place squad. With backcourt mate Jrue Holiday (shoulder) out on Monday, White should serve as Boston's primary offense initiator and ball handler in a mouthwatering matchup against a Pistons group yielding the third-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards. Considering the Celts check in as massive 15.5-point favorites at home, however, there's blowout risk to take into account from a DFS perspective.
