Boston has had some issues making adjustments when the starting lineup is out there. Specifically, Derrick White has performed poorly. The Celtics guard has put up some stinker performances. In their most recent loss to the Celtics, White had just six points on 2-9 shooting.

Derrick White has been one of the Celtics’ most consistent players this season, and his strong play for much of the year even ignited some early All-Star buzz. But he is currently in the midst of a rough shooting slump.

The Celtics will be without two players for their matchup against the Nuggets on Tuesday night. The team downgraded Derrick White and Jordan Walsh to out three hours before tip due to a non-COVID illness. Both players were late additions to the injury report on Tuesday morning and missed Boston’s shootaround at Ball Arena.
