Big defensive effort Sunday
White closed with 15 points (6-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and four steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
The 31-year-old point guard made an impact on the defensive end, with the four steals being his best showing since May 27, 2024, when he racked up five against the Pacers. White will be one of the engines of the Celtics this season alongside Jaylen Brown, and the former has looked good in that role through three games, averaging 18.3 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 3.3 threes, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks.

Cleared for Sunday
White (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
White had been listed as probable heading into Sunday, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise, though it's still a positive confirmation that the wrist sprain isn't limiting him. The guard figures to be a central piece of the Celtics' offense, especially if Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is unable to suit up.

Likely to play vs. Detroit
White (wrist) has been listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Pistons, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Analysis
White is dealing with a wrist sprain but is trending toward being on the floor. The veteran guard has had a so-so start to the season, averaging 20.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game but shooting just 31.6 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Drops 15 in loss
White ended Friday's 105-95 loss to the Knicks with 15 points (5-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block over 33 minutes.
Analysis
While White has not been able to shoot efficiently (31.6 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from three), he has turned in consecutive performances with at least three threes made, three rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. White's volume and role as Boston's main facilitator is keeping his fantasy relevance afloat, but if he wants to project himself into the upper echelon of contributors that fantasy managers believed he could be coming into the season, his efficiency has to improve.

Drops 25 in season opener
White put up 25 points (7-20 FG, 4-13 3 Pt, 7-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers.
Analysis
Wednesday was White's first taste of an expanded offensive role following the departures of Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford in the offseason and losing Jayson Tatum to an Achilles injury for virtually the entire regular season. Although the Celtics were unable to get the victory, White tied with Jaylen Brown in leading the team in points and assists. Fantasy managers should be able to expect this kind of heavy workload from White moving forward.
