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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Starting sans Queta Garza is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Luka Garza is becoming the player Timberwolves fans could only have dreamed of Luka Garza didn't play much with the Timberwolves, but he is thriving with his new team, the Celtics.

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 Celtics.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.
