White recorded 21 points (7-20 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 overtime loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran guard had gone just 5-for-36 (13.9 percent) from three-point range over his last five appearances and hadn't scored more than 12 points, so White's performance was encouraging even in a losing effort. The eight boards also tied his season high. White is still on pace for a career-best campaign, averaging 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.3 threes, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals over 40 contests.

White had six points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
White has had a rough stretch recently, scoring in single digits in the last three games for Boston. Although White's most significant impact for the Celtics is on the defensive end of the basketball floor, the veteran guard is averaging a career-high 16.2 points per game this season. However, the last three games have been forgettable, averaging 5.0 points and shooting 17.4 percent during that span.

White (illness) chipped in three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Tuesday's win over Denver with an illness, White struggled mightily in his return to Boston's lineup while scoring a season-low three points Friday. Although the 30-year-old guard's role on offense has become more volatile with the Celtics back at full strength, he's still averaging a solid 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 3.2 threes over his last six games. White's defensive prowess should continue to keep him among fantasy's most balanced assets, particularly in nine-category formats.

White (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Kings.

White (illness) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
White has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. White's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Sacramento.

White is listed questionable for Tuesday's game versus Denver with an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Boston's initial injury report was clean, but White apparently picked up an illness overnight. His late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his status for Tuesday's contest, but the Celtics will see how he recovers over the day before deciding closer to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff whether he'll play. If White can't go, the Celtics could turn to Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser to pick up some of the slack in the backcourt.

White logged 23 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes in Friday's 109-86 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
With Jaylen Brown (shoulder) ruled out for the second straight game, head coach Joe Mazzulla tapped White for an expanded role. He answered the call by torching the Rockets from deep, which should come as no surprise given that he's among the league leaders in catch-and-shoot three-pointers made per game this season at 2.6, which he makes at a 67.8 percent clip. White will be productive with or without Brown, but once the All-Star guard returns to the lineup, it's safe to expect White's volume in the offense to take a slight hit.

White provided 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-115 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
White provided a nice lift to Boston on both ends of the court against Minnesota, ending as one of three players with five or more threes while concluding second on the team in scoring along with a team-high-tying blocks total. White posted his ninth outing of the season with five or more threes, and he has tallied at least 25 points in three contests thus far.

White accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
White continues to make his mark on the defensive end of the floor for the Celtics. The veteran guard recorded four blocks against Toronto, helping him maintain a career-high 1.2 per game in that category. White is also averaging a career-high 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game this season.

White (hamstring) will play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
White will suit up for a 10th consecutive contest despite dealing with right hamstring soreness Wednesday. Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is inactive, leaving White and Payton Pritchard as likely starters in Boston's backcourt.
