NEEMIAS QUETA NEWS

Produces in limited action Queta registered eight points (4-4 FG), eight rebounds and two steals in 10 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Queta played only 10 minutes, but that didn't stop him from flirting with a double-double. He also recorded a season-high two steals. He's played double-digit minutes in five straight games, averaging 6.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 11.8 minutes during that stretch.

Logs 12 minutes in loss Queta finished with eight points (4-4 FG), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 12 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Queta played 12 minutes in the loss, and could be up for additional minutes should the Celtics be without both Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring). Quete had a couple of encouraging performances about a month ago, making him a name to watch over the coming days. If Porzingis and Kornet are both ruled out against the Pelicans on Monday, he could be worth a flier in deeper formats.

Double-double off bench Saturday Queta supplied 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 145-108 win over the Clippers.

Impact The 24-year-old center put together the best performance of his career as he took advantage of the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (thigh). Queta's only two career double-doubles have come in the last three games, and while he's putting himself on the radar as a bargain DFS option as long as Boston's frontcourt remains shorthanded, he'll need to show more consistency to be worth a roster spot in most season-long formats.

Double-doubles in OT loss Queta closed Tuesday's 132-126 overtime loss to Golden State with 10 points (5-8 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.

Impact With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) and Luke Kornet (thigh) out, veteran Al Horford and Queta were left as the lone options at center. Queta responded with his first career NBA double-double. He also led the Celtics with a plus-10 point differential. Queta, who is on a two-way contract, is on the roster to attempt to replace the defensive prowess and rebounding of former Celtic Robert Williams. Tuesday's performance was certainly a step in the right direction. With Kornet likely out for Wednesday's match-up at Sacramento, Queta should get another solid chance to see minutes off the bench.

Hauls in 10 rebounds Queta finished with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 113-103 win over Atlanta.

Impact Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss at least a week, so Al Horford started at center and Queta picked up 15 minutes off the bench compared to nine minutes for Luke Kornet. Queta made a positive impact in just his second appearance of the season, and he may get more opportunities as a result.

Makes season debut Queta logged five minutes off the bench in Sunday's 102-100 win over the Grizzlies, missing his only field-goal attempt and grabbing two rebounds.

Impact Queta was sidelined for each of the Celtics' first 10 games with a right foot injury before he was finally cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's 117-107 win over the 76ers. He didn't play in that contest and also sat out Friday's 108-105 win over Toronto, but Queta got the chance to make his Boston debut Sunday in a narrow win. The seven-foot center will likely be an irregular part of the rotation moving forward, but with veteran Al Horford being a candidate to sit out the second half of a back-to-back set Monday in Charlotte, Queta and Luke Kornet could both be in line for minutes.
