Queta provided 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 112-93 victory over Sacramento.

Queta turned in a strong two-way effort, returning to action after missing the previous game due to an illness. Up against a questionable Sacramento lineup, Queta made the most of his time on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. Despite a somewhat limited ceiling, Queta has exceeded all expectations thus far, averaging 10.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks, cementing himself as the starting center in Boston.

Ayton supplied 28 points (12-14 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 142-111 win over the Wizards.

Ayton was effective on both ends of the floor in this one, stuffing the stat sheet in the blowout victory. After averaging just 6.6 points per game in his previous five outings, the big man finished one point shy of tying his season high, reaching the 20-point mark for the second time this month. He also led all players in rebounds, securing his 17th double-double of the season. Additionally, Ayton swatted a game-high three shots and has now recorded at least one block in six straight games.

Carter finished Friday's 130-120 win over Toronto with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Carter scored 15 of his 23 points across the second and third quarters of Friday's game and finished as the Magic's third-leading scorer behind Desmond Bane (32 points) and Anthony Black (25 points). It was Carter's third 20-plus-point performance of the season and his highest scoring output since Dec. 18 against the Nuggets (26 points). He has averaged 12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.8 blocks over 29.8 minutes per game since Jan. 2.

Raynaud posted 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 112-93 loss to the Celtics.

After coming off the bench in three straight games, Raynaud got the starting nod Friday due to Domantas Sabonis (rest) being sidelined. Raynaud turned in an extremely efficient performance and finished as Sacramento's third-leading scorer. The rookie second-rounder also led the Kings in rebounds, securing his seventh double-double through 42 regular-season appearances. He scored in double figures for the first time since Jan. 14 and grabbed double-digit boards for the first time since Dec. 30.

Valanciunas won't start against the Clippers on Friday.

With Nikola Jokic (knee) back in the lineup, Valanciunas will retreat to the bench. The veteran big man has averaged 8.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game over 32 appearances off the bench this season.

Valanciunas (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.

As expected, Valanciunas will shed his probable tag and suit up Friday. The veteran big man has appeared in four outings following an extended absence due to a calf strain. During that stretch, he has averaged 14.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.0 minutes per tilt. However, with Nikola Jokic (knee) back in the lineup, Valanciunas will likely see fewer minutes.

Jokic (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.

This will be Jokic's first game in over a month, so while he will start, the three-time MVP will have his minutes monitored, according to Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports. Jonas Valanciunas will likely head back to the second unit with Jokic active, and Zeke Nnaji's minutes will see a sizable dip. Even with a minutes restriction, Jokic is a must-start option.

Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Williams was included in the rotation in each of the last five games and started at center in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta while Neemias Queta out due to an illness, but Queta is back and starting Friday. The rookie two-way player doesn't look as though he'll be in line for playing time Friday, as the Celtics list him out for the contest in what's likely a measure to preserve his eligibility while he approaches his limit of 50 active games at the NBA level for the season.

Queta will start Friday's game against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta will return to action following a one-game absence due to an illness, and as expected, he'll step back into the starting five. The big man has started all but one of his 14 January appearances, during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.1 minutes per game.

Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game in New York.

Williams is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, and his return will likely result in Yang Hansen falling out of the rotation. Williams is averaging 6.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this season.
