Baylor Scheierman has seen a dramatic uptick in playing time recently, jumping from 17.2 MPG season average to 28.2 MPG over his last five games, which has translated to 8.2 PPG and 6.8 RPG in that span. While his last game vs Washington was a 3-point dud (25 minutes), he showed flashes of 11 points and 16 points in prior outings with extended minutes. Playing at home in Boston where he averages 5.3 PPG and facing a Phoenix defense allowing scorers at a -0.961 rate, Scheierman should benefit from continued rotation usage.
Jalen Green has logged the most defensive exposure against Scheierman (4.2 minutes) with mixed results (3 points allowed on 20% FG). Phoenix's overall defense rates 111.16, slightly above average, but Scheierman's recent elevated role and home-court efficiency should provide a workable matchup.

Scheierman has averaged 6.8 RPG over last 5 games and 5.5 RPG over last 10 games on increased 28.2 MPG baseline. His recent game vs Washington pulled 9 rebounds in 25 minutes, and the Celtics play at home where his recent usage and rebounding projection remain strong against Phoenix's middling interior defense.

Last 5 games average 8.2 PPG on elevated 28.2 MPG usage. Home court history shows 5.3 PPG, but recent extended minutes should push toward the line with consistent opportunity.
Last 5 games average 6.8 RPG and last 10 average 5.5 RPG. With 28.2 MPG baseline, Scheierman should comfortably hit this mark given Phoenix's neutral rebounding defense.
Recent mean of 2.6 APG on elevated minutes aligns with this line. Last 10 games show 2.6 APG average, providing moderate confidence on the slight edge.
Last 5 games average 2.1 threes with 37.9% three-point shooting season-wide. Phoenix allows -1.647 three-point suppression, but volume on minutes should support this line.
