Darius Garland Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland will take the floor for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, marking a return from a four-game absence due to the league's health and safety protocols. Garland will not be on a minutes restriction, but he has not taken the floor since Dec. 26, which will likely keep him somewhere below his 34.2 minutes per game average. Still, Garland's DFS upside is plentiful with the Cavaliers' backcourt extremely thin due to injuries; Rajon Rondo (conditioning) will not yet make his Cavs debut, leaving Kevin Pangos as Garland's primary backup. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2021-22, as he is on pace to set new career bests at 19.5 points and 7.3 assists per contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been placed in protocols the same day that the Cavs are expected to get forward Evan Mobley back. This is a tough blow to the Cavs since Garland has been playing at an All-Star level this season. Ricky Rubio will likely be asked to move into the starting five now. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and is worth holding in the short term. Rubio will also be a low cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate as well.

He hit three of his nine attempts from outside and also tallied four rebounds, eight assists and two steals with four turnovers.

These teams have struggled to stop guards all season, and Ricky Rubio is also nicely set up for success this week.
