Darius Garland Fantasy Stats

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 guard Darius 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.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. Garland landed on the injury report with a hip contusion and initially had a questionable tag. With Garland missing, Ty Jerome and Craig Porter Jr. may feature more in the rotation. Jerome has had a nice year as the leader of the Cavaliers' second unit and is the better fantasy option. In the previous two games Garland has missed this season, Jerome averaged 24.5 points and 4.0 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (rest) did not play on Wednesday, but he'll be ready to roll for the Cavs as they finish their back-to-back with a game against the Hawks. On the season, the 25-year-old guard is averaging 21.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game and played 45 of the team's first 46 games before resting in Wednesday's 20-point win over the Heat in Miami. Garland should return to his normal starting role alongside Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland's backcourt and can be used as normal in all formats

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (rest) will not face the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The team will rest him for the first leg of a back-to-back. Ty Jerome could be elevated to the starting lineup as Garland's replacement. Jerome has finished with 20-plus points in each of his two prior starts this season. Max Strus may get additional offensive touches with Garland out of the lineup, with Donovan Mitchell taking on more playmaking duties.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) won't play on Wednesday against the Pelicans. The 24-year-old is coming off a rough showing in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with only eight points off 3-for-21 shooting from the field. But he'll be sidelined versus New Orleans because of groin soreness, meaning his next chance to play will be on Sunday versus the Toronto Raptors. With the Cavs also down Caris LeVert (knee), Sam Merrill (ankle), Isaac Okoro (ankle), Max Strus (ankle), and Dean Wade (ankle), Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley could each see an uptick in fantasy production. The same can be said Georges Niang, Ty Jerome, and Craig Porter Jr.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland has denied that he wanted to be traded in the offseason. Speaking during Monday's Media Day, Garland said the trade rumors were "definitely false" and that Cavaliers president Koby Altman was upset about what was being said and wanted Garland to remain with the organization. With the trade rumors squashed, Garland can now focus on producing a bounce-back campaign. His numbers dropped across the board in 2023-24 as Garland struggled to stay healthy. He managed to make only 57 appearances during the regular season. The 2022 All-Star has hit 60-plus games just twice during his five-year NBA career, and Garland's health is definitely something to consider for fantasy managers.

According to Ashish Mathur of Hoops Wire, the New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs tried to trade for Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland. Although Mathur didn't get into the details of each offer, it's apparent it wasn't enough. The Cavaliers made moves this offseason to bolster the roster for years, specifically, giving new deals to Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. However, Garland's future with the Cavaliers is far from guaranteed. The 24-year-old has spent his entire career in Cleveland since entering the NBA in 2019. He finished last season by averaging 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.3 steals. While some of those averages are a dip from the 2022-23 campaign, Garland has at least kept himself with the club. He could still be one of the first players traded if things fall apart for the Cavaliers, impacting his fantasy value. But outside of that, Garland's inability to stay healthy remains the most significant issue for fantasy managers, considering he's logged fewer than 60 games in three of his first five years in the league.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland appears ready to remain on the team. Following Cleveland's second-round exit against Boston, multiple reports suggested he will be looking for a change of scenery if Donovan Mitchell ties himself long-term with the franchise. Mitchell is now on the cusp of agreeing to an extension with the Cavaliers. But according to ESPN's Zach Lowe, this won't affect Garland's future on the team. Speaking on the most recent episode of The Lowe Post, Lowe said Garland "is cool with the current situation." Garland ran into health issues this season and took a step back, averaging 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, he was an All-Star just two years ago and should be capable of getting back to the level.
