Derrick White to Receive $500K Bonus for Hitting 185+ 3-Pointers

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will receive a $500,000 bonus for making at least 185 3-pointers this season. This is the first time of White’s seven-year career that he surpassed the mark.

Since the bonus was deemed unlikely in his contract before the season, Boston will have an additional $500,000 charged toward their team salary, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.

Per multiple NBA betting sites, the Celtics remain the odds-on favorite to win the championship. Sportsbooks are still showing great odds for the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers.
