Despite Jayson Tatum returning, Baylor Scheierman has still averaged 29 minutes over the last six games. He grabbed at least five rebounds in each game and averaged 7.5 rebounds during the stretch. He could play even more Friday when the Celtics take on the tanking Grizzlies. Even if the Celtics don’t sit some of their starters, they could give them limited minutes, which would help Scheierman. The Grizzlies also don’t have much size, which has resulted in them allowing the sixth-most rebounds per game in the league over their last 10 games. I’ll pay the juice and take this over.
