Neemias Queta Fantasy Stats

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (illness) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Queta was a late addition to the injury report, but will ultimately play through his illness. He finished with 17 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks across 29 minutes of action on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should expect him to play in his normal role with Luka Garza playing in the primary backup role. Queta has been playing well enough to be rostered and started in most season-long formats right now.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) missed two of the last three games for the Celtics, but he's been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's game against the Knicks. Queta played 29 minutes on Saturday and posted an impressive 19 points with 18 rebounds and two blocks. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game and has started each of the 18 games he has played. With Queta's return, Xavier Tillman will most likely be relegated back to the bench after his spot start as a result.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Cavs. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation heading into Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he was in the lineup, finishing with 19 points, 18 rebounds, and two blocks. Queta will take the night off to rest before likely returning on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. As far as Sunday's game is concerned, the C's may play some small-ball. Luka Garza, Chris Boucher, and Xavier Tillman Sr. might also get involved, with one likely entering the starting lineup. Still, nobody from that trio can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint despite the upside.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting in Minnesota. The 26-year-old has started in all 17 of his appearances during the 2025 campaign. As a result, he's having the best season of his career, averaging 9.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, making him a viable starting option in deeper fantasy setups. Queta wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons, opening the door for Luka Garza to enter the starting lineup. That will likely be the case again if Queta can't suit up. However, Garza didn't do much in his enhanced role on Friday, going scoreless in 11 minutes of work.

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta (ankle) is expected to miss Wednesday's matchup with Detroit, giving Boston's reserve bigs another chance to carve out minutes. Luka Garza has been the more productive option lately, averaging 9.6 points on 63.0 percent shooting across his last five outings, while Chris Boucher remains in the rotation despite minimal offensive output. Both are fringe fantasy options for now, and it remains unclear which one coach Joe Mazzulla will trust most with Queta sidelined.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta collected a huge double-double as Portugal began its EuroBasket 2025 campaign with a 62-50 victory over Czechia. Queta scored nearly 40 percent of his team's points, shooting 11-for-15 from the field during a 23-point effort, and grabbed 18 rebounds. His efforts across 31 minutes of action included two steals and four blocks. Queta has a great chance to begin the season as Boston's new starting center, and his performance against Czechia should excite fantasy managers. However, there are much tougher challenges ahead in the tournament for the 26-year-old big man.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta has a big season coming up, during which he's likely to take on a much bigger role than in previous years. He is focused on improving in 2025-26. "Obviously, I think it's making sure I get in great shape," the Portuguese big man said in an interview with CLNS Media's Bobby Manning. "Go out there and make elite decisions with the ball in my hands and making sure I get great finishes this year. I also want to raise up my free throw attempts this year." Queta added that he's also trying to improve his 62.7 career free-throw percentage and is "always" working on three-point shooting. Boston is expected to use Queta as its starting center in the new season, which will significantly increase his fantasy value.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta revealed that he underwent offseason surgery to address a lingering knee problem. "It's been good," Queta told Bobby Manning of CLNS of his recovery. "We've been dealing with this stuff (since) a couple years ago. We just decided it was a great time for us to do it. We're trying to get back to 100%. We feel pretty confident in the process and we're just grateful that we were taken care of, and I want to make sure I'm healthy and get back to 100% and I feel like I'm on the right path to do that." So far, Queta's role with the Celtics has been limited, but with Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet leaving and Al Horford's return unlikely, he may become a player to watch for fantasy managers next season.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta put in another good performance in the Summer League on Monday, leading the way in an 88-74 victory over the Lakers with 22 points on 7-for-10 shooting. The Portuguese big man added eight rebounds and had three blocks in 25 minutes. Queta, who recently agreed a three-year extension with the Celtics, has averaged 21.0 points and 8.5 boards in this year's Summer League. The 25-year-old has looked great in the competition, but unfortunately for him, Queta faces a lot of competition for playing time in Boston and will likely continue to struggle to get regular action in 2024-25.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta has inked a three-year extension with the team. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the contract is worth $7.18 million, which is fully guaranteed in Year 1. The deal comes with a partially guaranteed Year 2 and a team option for Year 3. Queta has spent three seasons in the NBA. The Portugal native, who will turn 25 this week, made 28 appearances for the Celtics in 2023-24, posting 5.5 points and 4.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes. Queta has shown some promise, but he will likely continue to struggle to log meaningful minutes for Boston, leaving him with no fantasy value.
