Questionable for Thursday White (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact White is dealing with a right knee contusion and may be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set. If the veteran guard isn't cleared to play, Payton Pritchard would likely step into the starting five, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Passive again in victory White chipped in 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.

Impact White continues to serve as the third or fourth option on offense, having attempted no more than seven shot attempts in three of the past four games. A recent lack of defensive production has only added to White's overall decline, as he sits outside the top 150 in seven games over the past two weeks.

Good to go Monday White (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Hawks, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact White will take the court Monday after missing Sunday's matchup against the Hornets with a bruised right knee. He'll look to close out March on a high note after averaging 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals through his first 13 showings this month.

Probable for Monday White (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact After missing Sunday's game against Charlotte, White is expected to suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's likely to see a bump in usage as well with Jayson Tatum (rest) getting the night off for maintenance.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday White (knee) isn't available for Sunday's game against Charlotte, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com.

Impact White won't play Sunday, so now the question is if he will suit up for Monday's rematch with Atlanta. With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) also out, Jayson Tatum (Achilles), who is good to go, should take on a bigger load offensively. Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez should also be more involved on the scoring end, regardless of their roles.

Lands questionable designation White (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Impact White lands on the initial injury report for a second straight game due to a bruised right knee. He played through the injury Friday, but it's uncertain if he'll do so again Sunday. If not, Payton Pritchard would handle most of the point guard duties, while Max Shulga could enter the rotation.

Good to go Friday White (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact White was previously listed as questionable, but he will give it a go against the Hawks. Jaylen Brown (calf) is getting the night off, so White may see a bump in usage Friday.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday White is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a bruised right knee.

Impact The Celtics could see how the star guard is feeling following Friday's pregame warmups before updating his status. Payton Pritchard would likely step into a featured role as the starting point guard if White cannot play.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles with shot in win White finished Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes.

Impact Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics to victory in this matchup, and while White had some decent numbers in the assists department, he had a rough go with his shot. White is expected to operate as the Celtics' No. 3 option on offense now that Jayson Tatum is back in the mix, and his numbers have suffered because of that. He's gone four games in a row without surpassing the 15-point mark, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from three-point range.

Scores 15 points in loss Sunday White posted 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact White has failed to surpass the 15-point plateau in four of his last five games, and the veteran guard has experienced a bit of regression now that Jayson Tatum is entrenched as the No. 2 option on offense. White is averaging 18.5 points per game since the beginning of March while shooting 31.5 percent from deep across 11 appearances. For the sake of comparison, he had averaged 21.3 points per game in his first six games this month as opposed to 15.2 ppg in the last five.
