Darius Garland's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's final regular season game against the Charlotte Hornets. He is dealing with a low back contusion, and the Cavaliers will likely take the cautious approach and let him rest. Both Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Caris LeVert (knee) will be sidelined in this game, as Cleveland is making sure their backcourt is healthy for the playoffs. Garland is a critical piece of the rotation, and he will need to play at a high level if the Cavaliers wish to make a deep postseason run this year.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. He has a chance to register a third consecutive double-double on Friday, although Garland will have to get used to sharing the ball with Donovan Mitchell, who's back in the lineup. Cleveland's point guard has seen plenty of success in previous meetings with the 76ers this season, averaging 24.3 points, 8.7, and 2.0 steals.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is probable for Friday's contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a sprained right ankle, Garland is expected to play on Friday. The 24-year-old All-Star guard has helped pick up the slack in Donovan Mitchell's (knee, nose) absence, supplying 19.1 points, 7.0 dimes, 3.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 3.3 three-pointers covering his latest 15 appearances but is hurting nine-category fantasy managers with 3.0 turnovers per contest over this period. If Mitchell returns to Cleveland's lineup against the Sixers, Garland could witness a rise in efficiency and a drop in giveaways with less usage on his plate.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland was seen icing his left wrist/forearm following Sunday's defeat to Brooklyn, which leaves him with a question mark for Monday's contest against Phoenix. He finished Sunday's matchup with 14 points, five assists, and one steal across 27 minutes of action. Garland's line included a team-worst four turnovers. It was a poor outing, but the entire team struggled, and head coach J. B. Bickerstaff pulled the plug early in the contest, with Garland not seeing any action in the fourth quarter. Donovan Mitchell (knee) is considered unlikely to return on Monday, which means we'll get a big dosage of Craig Porter Jr. running the offense if Garland can't play, while Caris LeVert should get all the shots he wants.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says guard Darius Garland (jaw) is no longer on a minutes restriction. Garland spent a month and a half on the shelf between December and January with a fractured jaw, and the 24-year-old All-Star is averaging just 12.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 1.3 threes in 26.9 minutes over his last nine games since returning. Garland next gets the Orlando Magic, and although the matchup features the lowest implied point total (216.5) on Thursday's 12-game slate, he will be a DraftKings value option with his salary south of $6,000 for the first time this year.
