### Key Players and Upcoming Challenges
As the team gears up for their upcoming game, the availability of Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis hangs in the balance, both players being listed as questionable.

### Adjusting to New Team Dynamics
The acquisition of Xavier Tillman Sr. places Queta as the fifth big in the rotation, adjusting the team’s dynamics and setting a new context for Queta’s contributions moving forward.
