Timberwolves snap 18-game skid in Boston by beating Celtics 102-92

Bones Hyland scored 23 points, Jaden McDaniels had 19 and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Celtics 102-92 to snap an 18-game losing streak in Boston

Struggles from long range White registered 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 117-112 victory over Memphis.

Impact The Celtics ended up getting the win, but White didn't have his best performance. Even though managers in point-based leagues will be happy to see White leaving his mark in the five major categories, this game marked the third out of the last four in which White failed to surpass the 15-point mark. White has shot just 32.4 percent from three-point range over that four-game stretch, and as low as that number looks, it's not too far from his season-long average of 32.6 percent -- a clear downgrade after he made at least 38.0 percent from deep in the previous three campaigns.

Nails five triples Monday White finished Monday's 120-112 win over Phoenix with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block over 29 minutes.

Impact White did most of his scoring damage in the second quarter with 16 points (including four three-pointers) and finished tied with Jayson Tatum for the second-most points on the Celtics behind Jaylen Brown (41). It was the second time since Feb. 1 that White played less than 30 minutes as he found himself in foul trouble, but he still put together a solid stat line. He has averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.2 minutes per game since March 1.

Impact White has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a right knee contusion, which will likely result in Payton Pritchard reverting to a bench role for Saturday's contest. In his last outing against the Spurs on Tuesday, White finished with 34 points, seven assists, five rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 40 minutes.

Questionable vs OKC White is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right knee contusion, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact White has picked up a bruised right knee, and the issue could prevent him from facing the Thunder. The standout guard played 40 minutes in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. If he can't play, Payton Pritchard (neck) would likely handle point guard duties.

Scores season-high 34 points White closed Tuesday's 125-116 loss to the Spurs with 34 points (11-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 40 minutes.

Impact White delivered one of his best stat lines of the season Tuesday, but his efforts were not enough to get past a red-hot Spurs team. The 34-point output was White's best scoring mark of the season, and he also contributed decent numbers in categories such as rebounds and assists, which is something that can always be expected out of him. The veteran guard is averaging a strong line of 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks per game since the break, and his role on offense hasn't diminished with Jayson Tatum returning to the lineup. In fact, White is posting better numbers after the All-Star break than before the break.
