Celtics' Luka Garza: Back to bench vs. Miami
Garza is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.
Garza excelled in his spot start against the Hawks on Monday, when he played 28 minutes and finished with 20 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers in a 112-102 loss. He'll revert to his usual bench role for Wednesday's contest due to the return of Neemias Queta (thumb). Garza should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench until Nikola Vucevic (finger) is cleared to return.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Near double-double in spot start
Garza posted 20 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Boston's 112-102 loss to Atlanta on Monday.
Garza made his fifth start of the season (and first since Feb. 8 against New York) due to the absence of Neemias Queta (thumb). Garza helped keep things close in the first half with 13 points (eight in the opening quarter) and finished as the Celtics' second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (29 points). It was also Garza's second 20-plus-point game with Boston. He will likely revert to the bench for Wednesday's contest against the Heat, assuming Queta is cleared to return. Garza has averaged 17.7 minutes per game since March 1, with most of that time coinciding with the absence of Nikola Vucevic (finger).

Celtics' Luka Garza: Joining first unit
Garza is starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Neemias Queta (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's clash, which opens the door for Garza to make his fifth start of the 2025-26 campaign. His last start dates back to Feb. 8 against New York, when he recorded six points and three rebounds in 15 minutes.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Scores season-high 22 points
Garza provided 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 117-112 victory over the Grizzlies.
Despite coming off the bench, Garza was one of the most productive players for the Celtics in this tight win and ended up delivering a new season-high mark in scoring. Don't expect the big man to suddenly become a reliable scoring weapon for Boston, let alone a player you should target in fantasy ahead of the playoffs. This was likely a one-off performance for the big man, who has scored at least 15 points in just nine of his 60 appearances in 2025-26. Garza was averaging just 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in March before this 22-point explosion.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Drops 15 points in win
Garza amassed 15 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 15 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 win over the Wizards.
Garza was productive off the bench, scoring 15 points, falling just one point short of his season high. With Nikola Vucevic (finger) on the sideline, Garza has cemented himself as the primary backup behind Neemias Queta. While this was an encouraging performance, as a player outside the top 280 in seven games over the past two weeks, Garza's value is limited to deeper formats.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Adds 10 points in win
Garza contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 18 minutes during Friday's 120-100 win over the Mavericks.
Garza saw at least 15 minutes of action for a third consecutive contest due to Nikola Vucevic suffering a fractured finger in the opening quarter. Garza turned in a solid outing on the offensive end, scoring in double figures for the first time since Feb. 4. He also chipped in at least two blocks for just the third time this season. Vucevic is expected to miss at least one month with the finger injury, so Garza is likely to operate as Neemias Queta's primary backup for the time being.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Grabs 10 boards Monday
Garza racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Monday's 108-81 win over the Bucks.
Garza saw meaningful minutes, with Neemias Queta given the night off for rest purposes. Although Garza had been trending up prior to the trade deadline, the acquisition of Nikola Vucevic put an end to any fantasy upside he might have had. For now, he should be looked at as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Muted role continues
Garza contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three rebounds in four minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Suns.
Garza continues to play third fiddle at center following the acquisition of Nikola Vucevic prior to the trade deadline, playing limited minutes behind both Vucevic and Neemias Queta. In four games over the past two weeks, Garza has averaged just 1.5 points and 1.0 rebounds in 3.6 minutes per contest, leaving him well off the fantasy radar.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Headed to bench
Garza will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Garza started the past three games for the Celtics, but head coach Joe Mazzulla will switch things up for Wednesday's match. As a reserve this season, Garza owns averages of 8.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per contest.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Starting Wednesday
Garza is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Rockets on Wednesday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
With Nikola Vucevic (recently traded) yet to make his Celtics debut and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) and Sam Hauser (thumb) both sidelined, Garza will make his second start of the season Wednesday, when he'll form a frontcourt with Neemias Queta. Garza has logged double-digit points in three of his last four outings, and over that span he has averaged 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.8 steals over 18.3 minutes per game.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Season-high four triples
Garza registered 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.
Garza connected on a season-high four three-pointers, helping the Celtics to a relatively comfortable win. While Garza has been able to carve out a somewhat consistent role as the backup center, Tuesday's acquisition of Nikola Vucevic from the Bulls could signal an end to that. Those holding Garza in deeper formats will want to keep a close eye on the rotation once Vucevic lands in Boston.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Good to go Wednesday
Garza (illness) is available to play Wednesday against Atlanta, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Garza did not play Monday against the Trail Blazers due to this illness, but he will return after a one-game absence. With teammate Neemias Queta (illness) ruled out, Garza may have a chance at starting, but he will still likely split minutes with Amari Williams.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Questionable for Wednesday
Garza (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Hawks.
An illness forced Garza to the sidelines for Monday's win over Portland, but it might end up only being a one-game absence for the backup big man. If Garza returns Wednesday, Amari Williams will likely lose most of his minutes.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Unavailable Monday
Garza (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Garza was added to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day due to an illness, and he'll ultimately be held out of Monday's clash. Neemias Queta and Amari Williams should see more playing time with Garza sidelined.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Questionable for Monday
Garza (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Garza was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. He's played a minor role in recent weeks with 17.3 minutes per contest over his last seven games. The Celtics could lean on some small-ball lineups if the center is unable to go.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Holding down backup center role
Garza finished Thursday's 119-114 win over the Heat with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.
With Josh Minott (ankle) injured and tumbling down the depth chart, Garza is seizing a strong grip on the backup center gig behind Neemias Queta. Garza has averaged 9.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 games, shooting 64.9 percent from the field.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Scores in double figures
Garza had 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and five rebounds over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 loss to Denver.
Garza has come to life to open January by scoring in double digits in three of his first four appearances of the month. He's averaging 21.8 minutes over this stretch. He should continue to see opportunities at center, as he appears to be close on the heels of Neemias Queta, who is averaging 23.8 minutes over this same four-game span.
