Baylor Scheierman started and posted 9 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 threes on 3-of-5 shooting with zero turnovers in 29 minutes in Boston's 98-93 win over Toronto on Wednesday, November 11. He had started just 10 per cent of his games at 20.1 minutes a night over his previous 10 games, averaging 5.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.0 blocks and 1.2 threes.

The start and the minutes that came with it matter. A starting job is the biggest driver of fantasy value in basketball, and this outing gives Scheierman streaming appeal if the role continues. His 12.5 per cent usage rate and 58.4 per cent true shooting make him a contributor across categories in nine-category formats, particularly with threes, steals and now defensive numbers. He produced 30.9 fantasy points, well above his projected 13.3 per game.

Baylor Scheierman

Scheierman's nine minutes above his recent average came from the start, and he turned them into a line that stretched across the stat sheet. The three threes doubled his usual output, while the two steals and one block represented new contributions over his previous 10 games, when he had averaged 0.6 steals and zero blocks. The zero turnovers kept his line clean in nine-category leagues, and the 3-of-5 shooting helped rather than hurt his percentages.

Boston has one game left this week, Wednesday against the same Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back. If Scheierman starts again and sees similar minutes, he becomes a streaming option in deeper formats for managers chasing threes, steals and defensive stats. The Celtics have no games the following week, so his value this week depends entirely on whether the starting role holds for that final contest.

What to do

• Stream Scheierman if he starts Wednesday and you need threes, steals and defensive category help in deeper formats.

• Monitor Boston's starting lineup for Wednesday's back-to-back to see if his role continues.

• Add Scheierman in 14-team leagues if the start Wednesday signals a regular spot in the rotation going forward.
