Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Headed to bench
Xavier Tillman will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.Neemias Queta is back and starting, so Tillman will return to a reserve role after getting a spot start during Sunday's win in Cleveland. Tillman has not been a consistent part of the rotation this season, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him pick up a DNP-CD with Queta active.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Season-high three steals in start
Xavier Tillman posted nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 win over the Cavaliers.In his first appearance since the Nov. 18 win over the Nets, Tillman filled in for the injured Neemias Queta (ankle) with a serviceable effort in the starting lineup. Tillman hadn't even reached the 20-minute threshold in any of his first eight games of the year, so it's hard to imagine he'll hang onto much fantasy relevance once Queta is healthy. The three steals were a season high for Tillman on Sunday, though.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Muted role continues
Xavier Tillman provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in six minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to Utah.Tillman played fewer than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing his slow start to the season. At this stage, it appears as though both Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are ahead of him in the rotation, while Chris Boucher is also spending some time at the five. Barring injuries to multiple players, Tillman is likely to serve as nothing more than a depth piece, at least for the foreseeable future.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Plays 16 minutes in opener
Xavier Tillman closed Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers with four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 16 minutes.Tillman's 16 minutes of run could be used as Exhibit A to demonstrate the talent difference between last year's top-notch Boston Celtics squad and this year's team. Tillman averaged only seven minutes per contest last season, though he was battling knee issues. Neemias Queta started at center for Boston, but was quickly pulled by Coach Mazzulla after Queta allowed Philly to grab an offensive rebound. Tillman then provided some much-needed rebounding, but struggled offensively. Expect Boston to experiment with different frontcourt lineups throughout the season.
