Celtics' Neemias Queta: Muted role continues
Queta recorded four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across nine minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 win over Brooklyn.
Queta was used sparingly off the bench again, an all too familiar story when it comes to assessing what has been a disappointing season. Even with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford missing time throughout the season, Queta has been unable to find consistent minutes. Having suited up on 53 occasions, he is averaging just 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Back to bench Saturday
Queta is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta made his sixth start of the season Thursday against the 76ers and finished with eight points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 24 minutes. He'll come off the bench Saturday due to the return of Al Horford, but Queta and Luke Kornet should still see minutes off the bench due to the continued absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness).

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Promoted to starting role
Queta is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
The Celtics will rest most of their regulars, except Derrick White and Jayson Tatum, so they're tweaking the starting five considerably. Queta will start in the frontcourt alongside Luke Kornet, though how many minutes he'll end up seeing remains uncertain.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Flirts with double-double off bench
Queta supplied eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Sunday's 110-103 win over the Nuggets.
Queta provided a nice lift off the Celtics bench Sunday, leading all second unit players in rebounds while finishing two points short of a double-double. Queta matched a season high in rebounds, having now hauled in 10 boards on two occasions.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Assigned and recalled Saturday
The Celtics assigned Queta to the G League's Maine Celtics before he was later recalled to the NBA on Saturday.
Queta likely joined the G League Celtics for Saturday's practice ahead of their matchup against the Grand Rapids Gold on Tuesday. The 25-year-old big man has received inconsistent playing time with the parent club of late, and he has averaged 5.0 points and 2.9 rebounds across 13.1 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Good to go Tuesday
Queta (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
A non-COVID illness prevented Queta from playing in Sunday's win against the Knicks, but the fourth-year big man has recovered enough to be cleared to play Tuesday. With Al Horford (toe) and Luke Kornet (personal) both ruled out, Queta should see a heavy dosage of playing time behind and alongside Kristaps Porzingis.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Probable for Tuesday
Queta (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta is likely to return to game action after missing Sunday's win over the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness. The big man has received inconsistent playing time over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds across 9.4 minutes per contest. However, Queta could see an uptick in playing time Tuesday with Luke Kornet (personal) sidelined, especially if Al Horford (toe) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Downgraded to out Sunday
Queta (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta has held a sporadic depth role in Boston's frontcourt this season, but he'll join Xavier Tillman (knee) in street clothes Sunday, which could open up more minutes for newcomer Torrey Craig. Queta's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Toronto.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Listed questionable for Sunday
Queta is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta has been a depth option in the frontcourt all season long, but he's in danger of missing Sunday's rivalry matchup against the Knicks due to an illness. A decision on his status will likely be made closer to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he's available, he's not likely to have a big impact in the rotation.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Solid performance in limited run
Queta chipped in six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across nine minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Queta tied the game-high mark in steals while putting together a respectable outing in his limited run. The 25-year-old has operated in a fairly inconsistent role throughout the season. Over his last five appearances, he has averaged 5.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Efficient shooting in win
Queta ended Thursday's 118-115 win over the Timberwolves with eight points (4-5 FG), five rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes.
Queta has seen a big bump in minutes over the last two games and has been efficient when on the floor for the Celtics. The 25-year-old has scored eight points in back-to-back games while missing only two shots combined (8-for-10) against the Raptors and Timberwolves.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Efficient night in win
Queta recorded four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over Detroit.
The big man saw significant playing time off the bench while serving as the primary backup to Kristaps Porzingis on Thursday. Queta has appeared in three consecutive outings following a DNP-CD on Dec. 4, during which he has averaged 3.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 15.7 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Turns heads with strong play
Queta posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 126-94 victory over the Clippers.
The Celtics were missing Al Horford (illness) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) for the second leg of this back-to-back set, while Kristaps Porzingis returned to action with 23 minutes. Queta absorbed the available center minutes and made the most of them, recording a season-high four blocks in the process. He's been excellent in limited minutes for the Celtics this season, but it's hard to see a path to consistent value now that the team is getting healthier up front.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Back to bench
Queta won't start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
As expected, Queta will shift back to the bench due to Al Horford returning to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness. However, with Luke Kornet (hamstring) unavailable, Queta should still see a sizable reserve role behind Horford on Sunday.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in spot start
Queta ended Friday's 108-96 victory over Washington with seven points (1-3 FG, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.
Queta moved into the starting lineup after Al Horford was ruled out due to illness. Having assumed the primary backup role behind Horford, Queta was the obvious choice to run with the starters. However, his production was far from inspiring, and he was replaced by Luke Kornet to begin the second half. Although he has carved out a consistent role, Queta's upside remains relatively limited.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Returns to starting role
Queta is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Moves back to bench Tuesday
Queta is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
