Celtics' Neemias Queta: Double-double in win
Queta closed Wednesday's 125-105 win over Cleveland with 10 points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes.
Queta has been a steady source of rebounds, averaging nine to start the season (and has logged at least 10 in consecutive contests). He has also been a source of defensive production, averaging 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals so far. Look for Queta to continue producing a similar stat line Friday against the 76ers.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Pulls down 11 rebounds in win
Queta had six points (3-8 FG), 11 rebounds and four blocks over 22 minutes during Monday's 122-90 victory over the Pelicans.
Queta recorded season-highs in boards and swats in this one, and he created numerous second-chance opportunities for Boston, with seven of his 11 rebounds coming on the offensive end. Queta has been heating up over the past two games, with his rebounding and defensive numbers, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Wednesday with a tough matchup against the Cavs.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Five steals plus blocks in loss
Queta ended with four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 loss to the Pistons.
The 26-year-old center has started all three of Boston's games this season, and he seems to be slowly earning the trust of coach Joe Mazzulla. Or maybe Mazzulla just doesn't have any other strong options to choose from? While Queta has been piling up defensive stats, he's also the leading big for a Boston squad that has been outrebounded 148 to 115 over the first three games.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Flirts with double-double in start
Queta logged 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT) and eight rebounds over 25 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers.
Queta got the starting nod Wednesday and fell two rebounds short of a double-double despite fouling out late in the fourth quarter. In spite of some conjecture as to who would be the starting center, Queta made the most of his opportunity. Luka Garza suffered a concussion early in the game, meaning he will likely miss time moving forward. That should ensure Queta holds onto the starting spot, making him a viable 12-team fantasy asset.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Swats four shots
Queta produced eight points (4-7 FG), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in 21 minutes of Wednesday's 110-108 preseason win over Toronto.
Queta, who came off the bench in his previous contest, started alongside Chris Boucher on Wednesday, with the Celtics continuing to experiment with lineup combos. This was by far Queta's best performance of the preseason, and he was everywhere on the glass. Five rebounds came on the offensive end.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Returns to starting five
Queta is in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors.
Queta, who started Friday's game before coming off the bench Sunday, will rejoin the first unit Wednesday. The 26-year-old has primarily served as a depth piece during his Celtics tenure, but he could see a notable increase in minutes and production as coach Joe Mazzulla evaluates his center rotation among Queta, Chris Boucher, Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman following the offseason departures of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and Al Horford.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Back to bench
Queta will come off the bench during Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers.
Queta got the start Friday against the Raptors, but he will shift back to a bench role with Sam Hauser (rest) returning to the starting lineup. Queta will serve as backup to Chris Boucher at the five against Cleveland.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Will start Friday
Queta (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
After missing Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Queta will be back on the floor. He joins Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott and Chris Boucher in the first five.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Inactive Wednesday
Queta (rest) was on the inactive list for Wednesday's exhibition versus the Grizzlies.
It's unclear why Queta was rested for Boston's preseason opener, but he doesn't figure to be a significant part of the rotation. His next chance to play will come Friday in Toronto.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Sees four minutes in Game 6
Queta accumulated two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one steal over four minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Queta made juts his fourth appearance of the postseason Friday due to the lopsided score. Playing in his fourth NBA season, Queta compiled regular-season averages of 5.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 13.9 minutes across 62 appearances. Queta is under contract for two more years and is likely to be an emergency depth option for the Celtics in 2025-26 as things stand right now.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Strong off bench in defeat
Queta recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 96-76 loss to Orlando.
Queta provided a lift off the Celtics bench Wednesday, recording team-high-tying marks in rebounds and blocks while leading all bench players in scoring and finishing as one of five Boston players with a double-digit point total. Queta recorded his ninth outing of the season with 10 or more points, his first since Feb. 8.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Used sparingly again in win
Queta provided four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 win over the Suns.
Queta's role continues to underwhelm, with him now having played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. It's been an up-and-down season for Queta, who at one point played as the primary backup center. On the whole, there has been very little to get excited about, with Queta averaging 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in just 13.8 minutes per game.

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.
