Paces second unit with 16 points
Minott had 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 win over Orlando.
Analysis
Minott's role within Boston's rotation has been very inconsistent since being relegated to the bench, as he dropped 16 points in 20 minutes on elite efficiency Sunday after going scoreless in just seven minutes Friday. With Neemias Queta (ankle) exiting the game early, Minott might be a candidate to inherit more playing time should Queta be sidelined, but the former isn't likely to supplant the latter in the starting lineup due to positional differences.

Not starting after all
Minott is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Nets on Tuesday.
Analysis
Contrary to a previous report, Minott will remain in a reserve role while Jordan Walsh remains in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game. Minott has seen his playing time fluctuate regardless of his role, so his usage during Tuesday's game may come down to matchups and flow. He has averaged 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals over 18.8 minutes per game since Nov. 1.

Starting Tuesday
Minott is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Minott came off the bench the past two games, but he'll find himself again running with the starters for Tuesday's contest. Head coach Joe Mazzulla may tinker with his starting group throughout the year based on the matchup, but when Minott gets the call, he's a viable deep league target for his ability to rack up the boards and defensive stats.
