Darius Garland Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) will play and come off the bench Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Garland's return was imminent as he had several last-minute scratches before Friday, but will not see a return to the starting lineup just yet. The Cavaliers are likely being very cautious with the young guard and Garland is expected to have his minutes monitored in this one. Cedi Osman will hold onto his short-term value in the starting lineup for at least one more game in what should be a high-scoring affair.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will get guard Collin Sexton (ankle) back after an extended absence, but are still without guard Darius Garland (shoulder), who is out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Sexton missed the past five games but was very close to returning, and the Cavs had their past two games postponed, so the return could have been even sooner. Garland, on the other hand, has been extremely close to playing for the past week, yet he still remains out. There is not a lot of news circulating on his extended absence, but Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro will continue to start on the wing with Garland out. Osman has been great in the starting lineup the past few days and is worth a look in DFS or as a streamer in season-long leagues.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guards Collin Sexton (ankle) and Darius Garland (shoulder) have both been ruled out for Friday's contest versus the Knicks more than 24 hours prior to tip-off due to respective injuries. Garland's absence will mark his seventh straight game on the sidelines, while Sexton is missing his fifth consecutive outing. Damyean Dotson figures to continue drawing starts at PG, but Cedi Osman will retain some DFS upside due to his passing ability as well. Yogi Ferrell had been filling in as a reserve, but was released following the team's trade acquisitions Wednesday. The next chance that Sexton/Garland have at taking the floor comes Sunday against Washington in a game that is questionable to take place following the Wizards' mini-COVID-19 outbreak.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Collin Sexton (ankle) and Darius Garland (shoulder) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Sexton will hopefully be back on the court soon, but Garland has missed six straight games without any signs of him ramping up his activities. Damyean Dotson and Cedi Osman will continue seeing increased playing time and make for reasonable streaming options.
