Scheierman produced 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks.
Scheierman returned to the starting lineup Sunday after coming off the bench Friday and posted double figures in both points and rebounds. His 13 boards marked a career high and gave him his second career double-double, with the first coming in Wednesday's win over the Rockets. While he isn't a primary option for the Celtics, Scheierman has made the most of his opportunities as of late.

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: Retreating to bench
Rotowire
Scheierman won't start against the Pistons on Monday.
The second-year swingman got the spot start in Saturday's win over Atlanta due to Payton Pritchard (ankle) being sidelined, but the former will retreat to the second unit Monday, as Pritchard is back in the lineup. In six appearances off the bench so far this month, Scheierman has averaged 2.8 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per tilt.

Rotowire
Scheierman is starting Saturday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Scheierman will make his second start in the last three games, this time due to the absence of Payton Pritchard (ankle). Scheierman didn't do much with his opportunity Monday against the Pacers, finishing the night with two points, three rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes.

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.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Catches fire in loss
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. Up until Saturday, it had been a lean season for Scheierman, as he scored a total of just three points across five games. While this was a fine shooting display, it isn't likely that he'll have many such performances.

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.

Scheierman struggled in the shooting department, going 23 percent from the field. However, he did make an impact in other areas, putting in some work on the glass and on the defensive end of the floor.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Nears triple-double in SL win
Rotowire
Scheierman racked up 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 94-81 Summer League win over the Knicks.
Scheierman had an impressive all-around performance Sunday, although he continued to struggle from distance. Nevertheless, the fact he came two rebounds and two assists shy of recording a triple-double -- while also finishing with a game-high three swipes -- is naturally encouraging. The Creighton product saw relatively sparse opportunity during his 2024-25 rookie campaign, appearing in 31 regular-season games and averaging 3.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 12.4 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Sees 21 minutes in blowout
Rotowire
Scheierman provided six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 win over the Wizards.
The Celtics ran away with this game in a hurry, allowing Scheierman to see some minutes in garbage time. The Celtics have four games remaining in the regular season and have already claimed the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, so Scheierman may get more opportunities going forward if the Celtics rest their key players.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Plays well in win
Rotowire
Scheierman provided nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 113-95 victory over Sacramento.
Sam Hauser (back) and Al Horford (rest) both missed this contest, while Jayson Tatum (ankle) left the game early. Scheierman made the most of his opportunity with a productive showing on both ends of the court, and he's likely to get more chances to impress down the final stretch with the Celtics looking to keep their key players fresh for the postseason.
