Unavailable versus Atlanta Queta (thumb) won't play in Monday's game against the Hawks, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com.

Impact Queta finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, one assists, one steal and one block in Sunday's 114-99 win over Charlotte. However, he won't suit up for the second of a back-to-back, meaning his next opportunity to play will be Wednesday in Miami. With Queta ruled out, Luka Garza is anticipated to enter the starting lineup. In four starts this season, the 27-year-old has averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals across 17.8 minutes of work.

Doubtful for Monday Queta is doubtful for Monday's game against the Hawks with a right thumb sprain.

Impact With how the Celtics have handled recent games, this may just be a maintenance day on the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Queta expected to sit out, the Celtics may lean more on Luka Garza and Amari Williams.

Nets 17 points with eight boards Queta contributed 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-99 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Queta attempted just his sixth three-pointer of the season in this one, but it ended like the previous five - with a miss. While he regularly brings donuts to the three-point category, he's still been flirting with top-75 value on the season thanks to his solid output in rebounding (8.3), shot blocking (1.3) and field goal percentage (64).

Impact It looks like Queta will play through a right thumb sprain for Sunday's game, though there's no guarantee that he'll be available for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set against the Hawks on Monday. Queta has logged double-digit rebounds in three of his last four outings and has averaged 10.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.9 blocks over 27.9 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

Iffy to play Sunday Queta (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Queta has recently been playing through a right thumb sprain. The injury hasn't been severe enough for him to miss time, but if he doesn't play Sunday, then Luka Garza would be the top candidate to enter the Celtics' starting lineup. Since March 1, Queta has averaged 9.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks over 26.6 minutes per contest.

Cleared to play Queta (thumb) will play Friday against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Queta will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. He's been terrific over his last six contests, averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Questionable with thumb sprain Queta is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta with a right thumb sprain.

Impact Queta is at risk of missing just his fifth contest of the season Friday. If the big man cannot suit up, Luka Garza would likely start at center and make sense as a strong plug-and-play fantasy option in most leagues.

Efficient in win over OKC Queta logged 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Queta now plays a secondary role on offense now that the Celtics are close to full strength, but the big man has found ways to contribute and is putting up solid numbers across the board. He left his mark defensively in this one with two blocks, making it the third time he's done that in his last seven games, and it was also the third time he scored in double digits in that span. No one would expect Queta to carry Boston offensively, but he'll remain valuable as long as he continues to start and make the most with his touches. On that note, it's worth noting that Queta is shooting 65.9 percent from the floor in that seven-game stretch -- and 63.6 percent since the All-Star break.

Perfect double-double Friday Queta produced 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Friday's 117-112 victory over Memphis.

Impact Aside from notching his fourth double-double since the beginning of the month, it's worth noting that Queta also achieved this feat by not missing any of his shots from the field. His offensive touches will be even more inconsistent now that Jayson Tatum is back in the lineup, but the big man is making the most of his opportunities. Queta is averaging 10.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in March while shooting 62.7 percent from the floor.

Double-double with two blocks Queta chipped in 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 victory over Washington.

Impact Queta did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 22 of his 24 points in the opening two quarters. Although he slowed in the second half, it was still a productive night, with Queta recording his first double-double in more than a week. Despite his limited offensive showing this season, Queta has been a solid standard league asset, putting up top 85 value through 63 games.
