Celtics' Neemias Queta: In line for expanded role
Queta registered 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 120-100 victory over the Mavericks.
Queta dominated the glass Friday, pulling down a game-high 15 rebounds to secure his fourth double-double in his last seven outings. His outlook for the remainder of the regular season has shifted significantly following the news that Nikola Vucevic (finger) is expected to miss at least 3-to-4 weeks. While Queta and Vucevic had been splitting time at center, Queta is now locked in as the primary interior option for Boston. With Vucevic sidelined, Queta's 25-plus-minute workload appears secure.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Cleared from injury report
Queta (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com.
The Celtics gave Queta the night off during Monday's win over the Bucks, but the 26-year-old big man is ready to return to the floor Wednesday and figures to send Nikola Vucevic back to the bench. Over his past five appearances, Queta is averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 69.2 percent from the field.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Receiving rest Monday
The Celtics have ruled out Queta for Monday's game against the Bucks for rest purposes.
Queta will get a well-deserved breather one day after posting a career-high 27 points and grabbing 17 boards in a 114-98 win over the 76ers. In Queta's absence, Nikola Vucevic will likely draw his first start since joining the Celtics ahead of the trade deadline, while Luka Garza could re-enter the rotation as Vucevic's primary backup.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Career performance in win
Queta went for 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-10 FT), 17 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 win over the 76ers.
Queta was dominant down low Sunday, racking up a career-high 27 points on incredible efficiency and adding a game-high 17 rebounds. Queta also held it down defensively, posting a game-high three blocks and contributing a steal. The big man has logged three double-doubles over his last five games, averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Another double-double Tuesday
Queta supplied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Suns.
Queta recorded his second straight double-double, once again outperforming Nikola Vucevic. While the addition of Vucevic has had an impact on Queta's playing time, the fact that he is a superior defender appears to have him ahead of Vucevic in the rotation. Assuming he can see close to 22 minutes per night moving forward, Queta should still be able to flirt with top 100 value.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Double-doubles vs. LAL
Queta posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 26 minutes during the Celtics' 111-89 win over the Lakers on Sunday.
Queta led the the Celtics in both blocks and rebounds Sunday (including four offensive boards) en route to his 10th double-double of the season (and third over his last nine outings). Queta continues to serve in a prominent role as the Celtics' starting center despite the team's acquisition of Nikola Vucevic at the trade deadline. Queta has averaged 8.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks over 25.1 minutes per game since Feb. 1.

Queta (ankle) returned to Wednesday's game against the Bulls with 8:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Exits to locker room
Queta exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an apparent left ankle injury, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle and exited to the locker room after logging under six minutes. Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza should handle the center minutes if Queta isn't cleared to return.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Available to play
Queta (ankle) is available to play Wednesday against the Bulls, according to Celtics reporter Bobby Manning.
Queta will clear a probable tag to suit up for the final game before the All-Star break. Queta has been reduced to a timeshare with Nikola Vucevic in recent outings.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Pops up on injury report
Queta is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.
Queta is tending to a minor ankle injury, but he's slated to play through the issue Wednesday night. In the two games since Boston acquired Nikola Vucevic, Queta has played 22 and 23 minutes, compared to Vucevic's 28 and 23 minutes.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in loss
Queta ended Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.
Queta saw 23 minutes as the starting center, matching the workload of Nikola Vucevic. This has the look of a timeshare, but it could fluctuate depending on matchups -- Queta is more of a defensive presence while Vucevic is instant offense.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Protects rim in Wednesday's win
Queta recorded 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during the Celtics' 114-93 win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
Queta showed off his defensive chops during Wednesday's win, serving as the Celtics' anchor in the paint while matching a season high with five blocks. He was also dominant on the boards, with his 19 rebounds being his most in a game since Jan. 7 against the Nuggets, when he hauled in a season-high 20 rebounds. Queta has been productive for the Celtics in his first season as a full-time starter, though how his role will change following Boston's acquisition of Nikola Vucevic from Chicago on Tuesday remains to be seen.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Flirts with double-double
Queta provided eight points (4-6 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 win over Dallas.
Queta put together another serviceable performance, closing in on what would have been his sixth double-double of the season. While he has been able to deliver a top-100 season, things could be about to change in Boston. The Celtics acquired Nikola Vucevic in a trade earlier in the day, so there is a chance Queta's days as the starting center are numbered. If that is the case, and Queta slots into a 20-minute per-night role off the bench, fantasy managers may have to re-evaluate his worth moving forward.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Fares well in win
Queta chipped in 14 points (7-10 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-79 win over Milwaukee.
This was a solid showing for Queta as he showcased his improved playmaking ability -- this was his seventh career game with at least four dimes. He's quietly been a solid late-round fantasy producer, and his fantasy managers will be hoping that the Celtics don't add any frontcourt competition at the trade deadline.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Strong double-double in return
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.

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.
