Neemias Queta will miss Wednesday’s game against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain sustained in Sunday’s victory over the Magic. In his absence, John Minott and Chris Boucher are expected to see increased minutes, while Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman may also get a chance to contribute. Among them, Minott appears to provide the most upside for fantasy managers.

Neemias Queta exited Sunday’s win over the Magic after spraining his ankle in the first quarter, finishing with six points and two rebounds. Despite being deemed questionable to return, Queta did not re-enter the game. The Celtics adjusted by playing a smaller lineup, with Josh Minott and Chris Boucher filling in the interior gaps. Boston begins a three-game stretch on Wednesday against the Pistons, providing Queta with some recovery time.

Neemias Queta has been named a starter for the Celtics’ preseason game against the Raptors, alongside Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Chris Boucher. The decision to include Queta suggests a focus on experimenting with a two-big lineup, offering head coach Joe Mazzulla insight into different roster configurations. This lineup adjustment provides an opportunity to evaluate Queta’s fit and impact in the starting unit ahead of the regular season.
