Neemias Queta Latest News
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.
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.
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 with 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.
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.
Returns to starting role
Queta is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards. Queta will get the nod at center with Al Horford (illness) sidelined. In four previous starts this season, Queta is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game.
Moves back to bench Tuesday
Queta is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers. Queta will head to the bench for this game since the Celtics will play their best possible starting unit. Queta has averaged 4.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game when playing off the bench this season.
Starting sans Horford
Queta will start Wednesday's game against the Nets. Queta will benefit from Al Horford resting Wednesday, entering the starting lineup for the third time this season. Queta has averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game as a starter this season
Coming off bench
Queta will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. With veteran Al Horford getting the starting nod at center, Queta will come off the bench. It will snap a string of two straight starts for the big man. He has averaged 5.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks across 12.2 minutes in six games as a reserve.
Nears double-double in spot start
Queta totaled 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 123-93 win over the Hawks. Queta made the first start of his NBA career and looked good operating in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. However, Queta's presence in the starting lineup is expected to be short, especially if Jaylen Brown (hip) is cleared to return soon.
