Back to bench
Garza is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Garza started Wednesday's win against the Pistons, though he failed to score on his lone field-goal attempt and hauled in just one rebound over 11 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Saturday due to Neemias Queta (ankle) being cleared to return.

Goes scoreless in start
Garza closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 win over the Pistons.
Analysis
Garza got the starting nod, replacing Neemias Queta, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury. Despite the promotion, Garza was a non-factor, going scoreless in 11 minutes. Outside of a handful of encouraging performances, Garza has been mostly disappointing, averaging 6.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game through the first 16 games.

Starting sans Queta
Garza is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Neemias Queta is missing his first game of the season due to a sprained ankle. Garza has averaged 7.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 15.2 minutes per tilt over 10 games this month, but his minutes should creep into the 20s in the first unit against the Pistons.
