The Eastern Conference is heated up, as two of their best teams clash tonight. Yes, you guessed it right, it is because of the Celtics vs Bucks game. Both the teams are in outstanding form as expected and are genuine championship contenders. The major changes in the roster made it so different for them. The Bucks are going well with the Lillard trade. The Celtics, on the other hand, strengthened their defense by acquiring Jrue Holiday.

If the Bucks have the powerful “Freak Time” duo, the Celtics are up with their best man Jayson Tatum, who is running riots in the league. However, Derrick White pulled himself out of the last match against the Hornets, due to some reason. Will he be back in the squad tonight against the Bucks?

Derrick White is questionable

There is no news from the Celts’ end regarding White. It is not clearly known if he will play tonight. The Boston Celtics’ X (formerly Twitter) account posted about him getting ruled out before the Hornets match.

The post says that Derrick White is out for personal reasons. No further details were shared regarding this. White was there on the court for 34 minutes against the Grizzlies and scored 10 points. The Celtics won the match 102-100 though.

The season is a long way to go and White is playing quite well. He is currently averaging 16.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks this season. Apart from that, he has 18 or more points in the last three of his four games.

The Celtics’ last match loss against the Hornets

The first seeders of the Eastern Conference are going to face the second seeders tonight in a high-voltage clash. But the Celtics’ loss against the 13th seeder Hornets is going to bother them a bit. Despite Jayson Tatum‘s heroic 45 points, the Hornets managed to outscore the Celtics. The score stood 121-118 in favor of the North Carolina-based side. Joe Mazzulla’s side stood stunned.

With the loss in the Hornets match, the Celtics broke their six-match winning streak. Can they get back to winning ways? Or will the Giannis-Lillard power duo have the last laugh? Comment your predictions below.
