Derrick White flirted with a double-double for the Celtics Friday night, dishing out seven assists and scoring 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-7 3PT) while also recording one steal, grabbing three rebounds, and blocking four shots in a 130-94 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

White continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with four or more assists and 12 or more points in each of his last five games. The guard continues to offer fantasy managers a stable option in lineups as part of a talented Boston starting five, averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game to go along with a 19.5% usage rate so far this season.

Fantasy Impact

White’s return shifts Payton Pritchard to a reserve spot, with Baylor Scheierman also sliding back—his scoring and defensive hustle bolster Boston’s starting five against the Hornets. Fantasy managers in all formats can slot him back in for reliable multi-category production, keeping Pritchard rostered in active leagues while Scheierman drops off the radar.
