Rotowire
Scheierman posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 109-98 victory over the Cavaliers.
It was the fourth double-double of the season for the second-year wing, and all of them have come since Feb. 4. With Jayson Tatum back in action. Scheierman has shifted to the second unit, but he's still holding onto a sizeable role in the rotation. He's drained at least one three-pointer in 15 straight games (13 starts), averaging 9.1 points, 6.2 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.7 threes in 26.1 minutes over that stretch.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Moved to bench in Tatum return
Rotowire
Scheierman is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Scheierman has started in 16 games this season, all of which have come in the Celtics' last 24 games. However, the second-year pro will revert to a bench role for Friday's contest due to the much-anticipated return of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Scheierman should continue to serve in a meaningful role as a reserve, especially with Jordan Walsh (illness) sidelined for Friday's contest. Since the All-Star break, Scheierman has averaged 9.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 threes over 27.6 minutes per game.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Meaningful role continues
Rotowire
Scheierman posted nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.
Scheierman played at least 30 minutes for the third time in the past six games, continuing to function as a member of the starting lineup. Although his playing time has been encouraging, he has yet to take full advantage of the situation. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has barely been a top 200 player in nine-category leagues, averaging 9.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Back in Boston's starting five
Rotowire
Scheierman is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Knicks on Sunday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Scheierman will enter the Celtics' starting five for the seventh time this season (all of which have come since Jan. 12). Scheierman's last start was in Wednesday's 114-93 win over the Rockets, when he posted 15 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes in what was the first double-double of his two-year NBA career.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Posts first NBA double-double
Rotowire
Scheierman posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during the Celtics' 114-93 win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
Scheierman's 23 minutes Wednesday were his lowest as a starter since Jan. 12 against the Pacers (20). The second-year pro was effective while on the floor, finishing as the Celtics' fourth-leading scorer while recording a career-high in rebounds en route to the first double-double of his NBA career. Scheierman has started in each of Boston's last two games and could remain a starter if head coach Joe Mazulla opts to have Payton Pritchard remain in a reserve role after the Celtics traded Anfernee Simons to the Bulls on Tuesday in exchange for Nikola Vucevic.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Shooting woes in win
Rotowire
Scheierman finished Friday's 140-122 win over the Pacers with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes.
Scheierman saw increased run in this one, logging 20-plus minutes for the first time since Dec. 4. However, he was largely unable to capitalize on the opportunity and has now shot just 23.1 percent from the field over his last seven outings. The Celtics have shown they are not afraid to switch up the rotation, though the second-year swingman's struggles don't bode well for his chances of seeing increased playing time on a regular basis.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Fails to score again Monday
Rotowire
Scheierman notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to Detroit.
Despite playing a handful of extra minutes, Scheierman failed to score for the third straight game. With Sam Hauser suffering an ankle injury, Scheierman was called upon late in the game, although he offered nothing in terms of tangible production. Even if Hauser is to miss time, there is no reason to add Scheierman outside of the deepest leagues.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Pops for 13 points in win
Rotowire
Scheierman amassed 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 117-114 win over Detroit.
Scheierman tallied double-digit points for just the second time this season, logging a season-high 30 minutes. While this was an encouraging performance, it was likely a mere anomaly, seeing as though he had played more than 15 minutes only once in his previous six outings. At best, he should be viewed as a conditional streaming option, if and when the schedule calls for it.

Rotowire
Scheierman posted 17 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 128-101 loss to the Rockets.
Scheierman scored a season-high 17 points, landing four triples on just five attempts.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Sits out Wednesday
Rotowire
Scheierman didn't play during Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers.
The absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has vacated plenty of usage in Boston, though it doesn't seem like Scheierman will be able to capitalize on the opportunity for the time being. That said, he may not be far off from getting a look in the rotation, given that Josh Minott scored just two points in 14 minutes Wednesday.
