Neemias Queta News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

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.

Impact 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.

Protects the 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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. Having acquired Nikola Vucevic in a trade earlier in the day, 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Rookie second-rounder Amari Williams would be slated to start for a second consecutive game if Queta is unable to play or is limited to a reserve role.
