It has been a rough season overall for Garland, but he has had some incredibly efficient performances lately. This was the second time in his last three games that he scored at least 20 points and six assists while shooting better than 60 percent from the floor and not turning the ball over. Garland hasn’t played to his sixth round ADP, but he is more than capable of producing to that level for the rest of the season.

Late additions to injury reports are usually not a good sign. Garland has looked good lately and scored 29 points on Tuesday against the Pacers. Lonzo Ball would figure to see the biggest boost in minutes if Garland has to miss time.

Garland scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half, putting the Cavaliers on his back with Donovan Mitchell, who went off for 75 points combined in the previous two contests against the Pacers earlier this season, getting the night off for load management purposes. The 25-year-old point guard drilled a clutch pullup jumper in the final seconds to give Cleveland a commanding three-point advantage following a late rally from Indiana. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to take 20-plus shots with Mitchell back in the mix but he’s capable of carrying the Cavaliers when he’s out of the lineup.

Garland dished out eight assists and played a key role late, scoring 13 of his 18 points in the second half, as Cleveland overcame a late deficit to rally for an impressive home victory against the injury-depleted Nuggets. The 25-year-old facilitator has had a down year overall, especially from a scoring standpoint, averaging just 17 points through 20 games after averaging 20.6 per-game last year.

Garland was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the upgrade in status is unsurprising. With Garland and Evan Mobley available, the Cavaliers have made Nae’Qwan Tomlin inactive.

Garland was added to the injury report Saturday afternoon with an illness. The 25-year-old point guard is still listed as probable with the rest of the afternoon to recover before tonight’s game against the Rockets.

Slowly but surely, Garland is regaining the burst that made him one of the more difficult point guards to defend before his toe injury. The Cavaliers’ point guard shot 6-of-9 from the field in the first three quarters and finished with his second 20-point double-double in three games. While his season-long fantasy value remains low, Garland has been a top-75 player over the last two weeks.

For the first time this season, Grland is available for both ends of the Cavaliers’ back-to-back. Even if Garland doesn’t take on his usual workload, there’s nothing to gain from rostering Collin Gillespie or Tre Mann.

Garland is dealing with a left quad contusion, but it’s possible he’ll get a maintenance day as Cleveland plays the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Lonzo Ball (rest) also out, Sam Merrill could see increased run, while Jaylon Tyson should continue to be involved.

After exploding for a season-high 35 points on Friday with Donovan Mitchell unavailable, Garland’s performance on Monday was an attention-grabber. Cleveland’s guard tandem played at the level many expected before the season began, combining to score 57 points. Garland supplemented his point total with ten assists, recording his second double-double of the season. Over his last six games, the Cavaliers point guard has been a top-40 player in eight-cat formats. Following the win, Garland said he plans to play in Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

With Donovan Mitchell (illness) out, Garland was able to step up and have his best outing of the season. A recurring toe issue kept Garland sidelined to start the season and has forced him to miss time since making his season debut, which has prevented him from developing a rhythm. He got on track in this game, which will hopefully lead to more productive nights from him moving forward. He’ll look to stay hot against the Hornets on Monday with Mitchell likely back.

Garland continues to struggle with his shot, and that has negatively impacted his fantasy value. After Wednesday’s defeat, he’s shooting 36.3 percent from the field, which would be the lowest percentage of his NBA career by a sizable margin (previous low was 40.1 percent as a rookie). Add in the lack of defensive stats, and Garland has been one of the more disappointing guards in fantasy basketball this season. There’s still a lot of basketball to be played; hopefully, he can start the turnaround on Friday when the Cavs host the Bulls.

Garland led the Cavaliers in scoring during regulation before coming up empty on all three of his shot attempts as they somehow went scoreless in overtime. He also committed a costly turnover with 23 seconds left in the marathon affair that enabled Charlotte to hang on for an improbable win. Cleveland will attempt to get back on track next week with a pair of matchups against the Bulls, who rank 23rd in defensive rating since the start of December.

Garland was as efficient as one could be inside the arc, shooting 6-of-6 on two-point shots, but his 0-of-11 shooting from deep left him completely unimpactful from behind the line. Yet, even with the shooting struggles, Garland was one of the Cavaliers’ highest scorers on the evening and concluded with a share of the most assists. Surely, fantasy managers will want more production from Garland going forward, but they must remain patient in the early stages of the season as he continues to work his way back from offseason toe surgery.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Garland’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Lonzo Ball could fill since he’s available. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when given this role, but the fantasy ceiling is limited.

Garland did not play in Monday’s win over the Pacers, which moved Dean Wade into the starting lineup. Wade should head back to the bench, with Jaylon Tyson continuing to start. The second-year wing has played well this season, most recently scoring 27 points on Monday.

Garland logged 31 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, but he’ll sit out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set. With Lonzo Ball (illness) and Sam Merrill (hand) also out, expect Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor to see increased run. Donovan Mitchell should be in line for monster usage, while Jaylon Tyson could get also get a bump in usage.

Garland was back in the lineup after sitting out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back on Monday. He set a new season high for minutes (33) and assists, which led to his first double-double of the season. Garland has only played six games this year, which isn’t a lot of time to get on track. As he logs more minutes, he’ll continue to see his production improve.

The Cavaliers will start their preferred five on Friday, with Garland, Hunter and Allen back in the fold. Their returns push Lonzo Ball, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr. to the bench, although Allen’s minutes may be restricted due to the amount of time he’s missed.

Garland did not play in Monday’s loss to the Raptors, as it was Cleveland’s second game in as many nights. While Lonzo Ball struggled with his shot, the fact that he played 35 minutes is more important. He’ll head back to the bench since Garland is available.

Garland played 27 minutes in his first game in 11 days after missing time with a toe injury. The 25-year-old point guard was on a minutes limit, but with how well he played that might not last much longer. How Garland bounces back will be important as well and the Cavaliers take the court next against the Clippers at home on Sunday.

Garland is available after missing five games with a toe injury that initially became an issue in March and required surgery during the offseason. He’ll be under a restriction on Friday, with the expectation being that the point guard won’t play more than 30 minutes. Garland’s return impacts Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor the most, as the latter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Garland is on the verge of a return after missing Cleveland’s last five games with a toe injury. His presence is essential to the Cavaliers, who have relied on Donovan Mitchell to be the starting point guard, with Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. coming off the bench. If Garland plays on Friday, Porter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Including Wednesday’s matchup with the Rockets, Garland has missed Cleveland’s last five games since aggravating a toe injury during a November 10 loss to the Heat. However, a return to action may be on the horizon, based upon Atkinson’s pregame comments. Donovan Mitchell has taken on the starting point guard role in Garland’s absence, with Sam Merrill entering the starting lineup. Merrill, who is questionable for Wednesday, is worth streaming as long as he’s available and Garland isn’t.

Wednesday’s game will be the fifth that Garland has missed since aggravating his toe injury during a November 10 loss to the Heat. Sam Merrill started Monday’s win over the Bucks, hitting six three-pointers, and he’s worth rostering while Garland sits. However, Merrill is questionable for Wednesday with a sprained right hand. Tyrese Proctor could potentially enter the rotation if Merrill sits, but the rookie is not worth the streaming risk.
