Darius Garland DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers point guardDarius Garland(toe) is probable for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Due to rest purposes, Garland sat out Thursday's game against the Pacers, but he will likely play this evening. The Cavs clinched the first seed in the Eastern Conference, so if Garland is good to go, he could see limited action this evening. The 25-year-old has been a key piece to Cleveland's success, averaging 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 31.9 minutes per contest across 74 games this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (toe) will not take the court on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. Cleveland has just secured the top position in the Eastern Conference and will rest four of its regular starters on Thursday, including Garland, who is bothered by a toe sprain. Ty Jerome is likely to take over the point guard duties in the starting lineup, with Craig Porter Jr. serving as his primary backup. In his previous two starts this season, Jerome has averaged an impressive 26.5 points on 57.9 percent three-point shooting, adding 4.5 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Garland will be back in action after sitting out of Wednesday's contest for rest purposes. It's that time of the season where the top tier teams will likely rest their starters to keep them fresh for the postseason. The expectation is that Garland will have his normal role in the rotation on Friday. That being said, Dean Wade and Ty Jerome will probably take a step back which should hurt their streaming appeal.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guardDarius Garland(rest) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Sacramento Kings. On Tuesday, Garland posted 17 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and two steals in 32 minutes against the Clippers. The 32-year-old will have the night off to rest for the second set of back-to-back games. He will likely return to the floor for Friday's matchup with the Suns. Isaac Okoro and Ty Jerome could see extra minutes this evening with Garland on the shelf.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (hip) once again carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Orlando Magic. He was also considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies and was eventually ruled out. Isaac Okoro stepped into the starting lineup as Garland's replacement, though Ty Jerome benefitted the most from his absence. Jerome matched his third-highest scoring output of the season with a 26-point effort. He will likely handle extra offensive duties again on Tuesday if Garland remains out.
