The Celtics are having a fantastic season and have managed their new roster well.
Boston's head coach, Joe Mazzulla, changes his lineups around quite a bit, featuring a different rotation almost every night.
Most of the players on the roster get playing time, but one player hasn't been featured too much and could get traded ahead of the deadline, according to one insider.
What Celtics player could be traded ahead of the deadline?
NBA insider Michael Scotto reported Chris Boucher as a player the Celtics have gotten calls about.
Boucher, at one point, appeared to be a player who could hold a key rotational spot with the team, but things have changed as the season progressed.
He's only played in eight games this season, not appearing in a game since Nov. 23.

With the Celtics getting quality minutes from Neemias Queta and Luka Garza, the likelihood of Boucher getting traded feels more realistic, especially after recent reports indicate league interest in the first-year Celtic.
In the past week, we have seen rookie Amari Williams featured more in games, which is another reason why the team could choose to part ways with Boucher if they're satisfied with those three players.
All season long, Boston has been rumored to be in the market for a center, but nothing has indicated that they'll make a major move for one.
The Celtics also have Xavier Tillman on their bench, who hasn't played much, and Scotto mentioned him alongside Boucher as someone who could be shopped ahead of the deadline.
Scotto listed the Hawks, 76ers and Suns as a few of the teams showing some level of interest in Boucher.
Although Boucher hasn't had the strongest season, he's shown in the past his value as a champion veteran big off the bench, so teams could value that and might decide to make a low-risk move by trading for him.
