Derrick White posted 24 points, four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and one three on 7-18 shooting and 9-9 from the line in 36 minutes as a starter on Wednesday, November 4, when Boston beat Milwaukee 109-102.

The line was worth 46.3 fantasy points against 24.2 a game over his previous seven games, a jump driven by extra minutes and shot attempts. At 83rd overall and 0.18 standard deviations above replacement in nine-category leagues, White projects for 29.1 fantasy points a night this season, making Wednesday's performance an outlier worth riding in the short term.

Player by player

Derrick White

White played 36 minutes on Wednesday, six more than his 29.9-minute average over his previous seven games, and attempted 18 shots after averaging 11.4 over that span. His 24 points more than doubled his 11.1-point average, while his seven assists topped his 4.9-assist baseline. He added two blocks after averaging just 0.1 over his previous seven outings, filling the defensive categories that drive his archetype as a specialist.

His 18.8 per cent usage rate and 54.1 per cent true shooting this season suggest Wednesday's volume was circumstantial rather than structural. Boston has one game left this week, on Wednesday against another opponent. White's season line of 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 30.6 minutes a game reflects his typical contribution, making Wednesday's spike a streaming opportunity rather than a reason to expect sustained top-80 production.

What to do

• Start White on Wednesday with Boston's final game of the week still to play.

• Use him as a short-term streaming option in nine-category leagues for his defensive stats and assists while his minutes remain elevated.

• Do not expect 46-point performances to repeat given his 29.1 projected fantasy points and 18.8 per cent usage rate.
