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

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.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (jaw) will play in Wednesday's tilt versus the Detroit Pistons. Sidelined since mid-December with a fractured jaw, Garland makes his highly-anticipated return to the hardwood after participating in Wednesday's morning shootaround. The matchup against the Pistons is an appetizing one for Garland, but even though he's rejoining Cleveland's starting group in place of Isaac Okoro right off the bat, the 24-year-old star playmaker is still risky in DFS due to the risk of his minutes being monitored in a game with blowout potential. The red-hot Cavs are glad to have Garland's 20.7 points, 5.9 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.6 steals per game back in their dynamic backcourt alongside superstar Donovan Mitchell, however, and so should season-long fantasy managers.
