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.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Provides spark in victory
Garza recorded 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 victory over Utah.
Garza bounced back in a big way after scoring five points on 1-of-4 shooting from the field in Sunday's loss to Portland. He logged double-digit minutes for a fifth straight game and provided a crucial spark off the bench, finishing as one of six Celtics players to score in double figures. The big man has had an inconsistent role in the Boston rotation this season, though he has seen meaningful minutes of late. Garza has appeared in five straight matchups for Boston following a four-game stretch in which he did not see the court. During that span, he has averaged 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds over 21.4 minutes per tilt.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Limited to 11 minutes
Garza posted five points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 11 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Garza has been effective in limited minutes off the Boston bench recently. Over his last four appearances, he's seen 22.0 minutes per contest with 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 60.0 percent shooting. His workload Sunday was disappointing, but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Dominates offensive glass
Garza tallied 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during the Celtics' 112-96 win over the Raptors on Saturday.
Garza was a healthy DNP in the four games prior to Saturday's contest, but he was thurst into a more prominent role in the rotation during the back end of the Celtics' back-to-back set. He played a season-high 26 minutes, and his nine offensive rebounds could earn him some more consistent playing time in the short term.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Back to bench
Garza is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Garza started Wednesday's win against the Pistons, though he failed to score on his lone field-goal attempt and hauled in just one rebound over 11 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Saturday due to Neemias Queta (ankle) being cleared to return.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Goes scoreless in start
Garza closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 win over the Pistons.
Garza got the starting nod, replacing Neemias Queta, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury. Despite the promotion, Garza was a non-factor, going scoreless in 11 minutes. Outside of a handful of encouraging performances, Garza has been mostly disappointing, averaging 6.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game through the first 16 games.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Starting sans Queta
Garza is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Neemias Queta is missing his first game of the season due to a sprained ankle. Garza has averaged 7.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 15.2 minutes per tilt over 10 games this month, but his minutes should creep into the 20s in the first unit against the Pistons.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Sees 20 minutes off bench
Garza finished Tuesday's 113-99 win over Brooklyn with five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes.
Neemias Queta has a strong grip on the starting center role, but Garza doesn't have much competition as the backup center with Chris Boucher completely out of the mix. Through 14 outings, Garza is averaging 14.1 minutes per game with 7.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks on 58.1 percent shooting from the field.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Productive again off bench
Garza totaled nine points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and eight rebounds in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 loss to the 76ers.
Garza has been granted more opportunities in two straight matchups and has made them count. He came close to a double-double Tuesday night and shouldered his heaviest workload of the year in terms of minutes. Neemias Queta has also been playing well for Boston, so while it doesn't look as though Garza will take hold of the starting center role anytime soon, it's been reassuring to see the Iowa product add value in the scoring column and on the boards when given the chance.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Flirts with double-double in win
Garza logged 16 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 win over the Magic.
Garza played his most minutes Sunday since Oct. 27, when he also dropped 16 points. While Garza's role is very inconsistent, performances like Sunday's provide optimism that he may be able to garner more playing time moving forward.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Minimal impact Monday
Garza ended Monday's 105-103 loss to Utah with two points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes.
Garza has failed to make much of an impact in recent outings, scoring just two points in as many games. It appears he's won the job as Boston's backup center behind Neemias Queta, but Garza's production hasn't been worth a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Logs 16 off bench in win
Garza accumulated 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-90 win over the Pelicans.
Garza exploded for his first double-digit scoring performance this season, which may have been fueled partly by the blowout nature of the game, with Boston pulling its starters in the fourth quarter. Regardless, Garza has shown that he can be an asset in the rotation if given the opportunity, and he may be awarded more playing time if he can put up another strong outing.
