Tatum's return reduces the need for White to repeat the shooting and free-throw workload of his latest appearance.
12.8 PPG · 32 EXPECTED MIN — White is averaging 12.8 points, with 32 minutes expected in this matchup. A regular rotation stint can still leave his scoring modest when the offense has other primary creators.
24 PTS · 18 FGA · 9 FTA LAST GAME — White's latest 24 points came on 18 shots and nine free-throw attempts while Tatum rested. With Tatum returning, the same shoot-first burden is not necessary for the starting offense.
Extra ball-handling when the bench backcourt is short-handed could keep his attempt count elevated. Drives that draw fouls or a productive pull-up shooting night would defeat the expected scoring restraint.
Settlement Rule: CASHES DERRICK WHITE UNDER 14.5 POINTS WITH 0 TO 14 POINTS; NO PUSH AT THIS LINE.
