    Darius Garland Good To Go Sunday

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) will play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Garland was a true game-time decision has he continues to play through pain in his thumb. Garland went through pregame warmups and was able to be cleared to play. Garland will continue to play through the injury while having his thumb taped up. This may hurt Garland's shooting as he gets used to the less mobility in his shooting hand, but it should not be any cause for worry with fantasy managers.

    Darius Garland Back On The Injury Report

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (thumb) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting in Phoenix. The 22-year-old returned on Friday against Denver following a three-game absence because of a thumb injury. However, he re-aggravated the ailment during the game, so there's a chance he'll get the night off. Donovan Mitchell will likely slide into the point guard slot if Garland isn't available and see a bump in usage. At the same time, Caris LeVert, averaging 15.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 20 starts this season, may remain with the starting unit.

    Darius Garland Will Play Friday

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) will rejoin the lineup Friday against Denver. He has missed three games with a sprained right thumb and the team considered him questionable for Friday's contest, but Garland is now officially ready to go. It remains to be seen how much the thumb injury still bothers him. If he can play near his full ability, this will be a great spot for the rising star, as Donovan Mitchell (rest) has the night off and all of the offense will run through Garland. It's also worth noting that the Nuggets allow the most points per 48 minutes in the league to opposing point guards.

    Darius Garland Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Game

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) has been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Denver as he deals with a sprained right thumb, although he was able to participate in pre-game shootaround. Garland has been sidelined for each of Cleveland's last three outings due to the ailment, which has allowed Caris LeVert to slot back into the starting five. With Donovan Mitchell (rest) already out Friday, LeVert would stand to see a significant offensive role if Garland remains out of the mix, while Raul Neto and Cedi Osman would figure to get added ballhandling opportunities. Check back for final word on Garland's status.

    Darius Garland Officially Out Wednesday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (thumb) will miss Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Garland will miss his third straight game with a sprained thumb, but there are rumblings of him returning on the weekend. Caris LeVert will continue to start and Donovan Mitchell should see a boost in usage as well. Both are excellent DFS options against the Suns.

    Darius Garland Listed As Doubtful Wednesday

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) is doubtful to play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Garland is trending towards missing his third straight with a right thumb sprain. If that is the case, Caris LeVert would be in line for another start and would be a good target for Wednesday's DFS slate. Donovan Mitchell should also see a heavy workload on offense coming off his 71-point performance Monday.

    Darius Garland Doubtful To Suit Up On Monday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (thumb) was unable to play in the team's last game due to a thumb sprain on his right hand. The team officially listed him as doubtful for their next contest on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. If he's unable to get back on the court, Caris LeVert will have added value as a bigger part of the offense. Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens would both have some streaming value as well.

    Darius Garland Questionable On Saturday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (thumb) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Chicago. He suffered a thumb injury during Thursday's matchup against Indiana, causing him to miss Friday's practice. Donovan Mitchell will slide over to the point if Garland doesn't play, while Caris LeVert would presumably enter the starting unit and take over at the two. LeVert has averaged 14.1 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.6 boards in 16 starts this season, so he'll be a must-start if Garland can't go.

    Darius Garland Unable To Practice Friday

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) was kept from the practice floor Friday due to a right thumb injury that he sustained Thursday against Indiana. With the Cavs set to take on the Bulls on Saturday, Garland's status is up in the air. The 22-year-old has made a case for a second consecutive All-Star appearance this year, even as Donovan Mitchell joined the backcourt. Shooting a career-high 40 percent from long range, Garland is one of just 34 qualified players at that mark around the league. An absence Saturday would elevate Mitchell's DFS appeal, along with that of Caris LeVert, who would stand to see more usage. Fantasy managers will want to check back Saturday for further updates.

    Darius Garland Pours In 51 Points In Loss

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland got the first 50-point game of the season on Sunday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite the 124-129 loss, the 22-year-old put up 51 points, two rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 16-for-31 shooting from the floor and 10-for-15 from deep. He tied CJ Miles for the second-most threes made in a game in the team's history. The only player with more was Kyrie Irving. This was a very encouraging sight as Garland has only shot better than 40% twice in his last six games before this one.

    Darius Garland Questionable With Knee Sprain

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (knee) made his first appearance on Wednesday night after suffering an eye laceration in the first game of the season. Now, he's back on the injury report for a knee sprain that he appeared to suffer in that same game. Seeing as it's just a questionable tag it allows for a small sigh of relief. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday just to make sure his status isn't downgraded.

    Darius Garland Drops 29 Points In Return

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had a double-double during Wednesday's win over the Celtics, finishing with 29 points and 12 assists. He also got after it defensively by accumulating three steals. The 22-year-old played for the first time since sustaining an eye laceration during the season opener against Toronto. However, Garland certainly didn't look like a guy who missed five games, as he led the Cavs in scoring on the night. Fantasy managers should keep him starting with confidence on Friday night in Detroit.

    Darius Garland Returning On Wednesday Evening

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) will return on Wednesday versus the Celtics. The 22-year-old sustained a left eye laceration during the season opener against the Raptors and hasn't been available since. With that said, Garland's presence will lower the ceilings of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Caris LeVert. However, all four should remain starting in every fantasy format while also deserving attention from DFS managers.

    Darius Garland Tagged As Questionable

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) has received a bit of an injury report upgrade. He's now listed as questionable for the first time since injuring his eye back in the first game of the season. He's reportedly been playing in practice and the swelling has gone down, but there hasn't been a firm answer as to whether he will be active or not. Managers should keep watching for any more injury updates as it gets closer to Wednesday's game. Dean Wade and Caris LeVert have been the two to benefit from Garland's absence and will probably take quite a hit value-wise once he returns.

    Darius Garland Still Out On Sunday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) remains out on Sunday against the Knicks. The 22-year-old has played only 13 minutes this season after sustaining a left eye laceration in the opener. As a result, Dean Wade may remain in the starting lineup, although he won't offer much to fantasy managers. Yet, Caris LeVert, who had 41 points in Friday's win over Boston, should continue to get additional chances on the offensive end.

    Darius Garland To Remain Sidelined Against Boston

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) isn't available on Friday against the Celtics. The 22-year-old suffered a left eye laceration during the season-opener versus Toronto and hasn't been seen since. As a result, Dean Wade is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Wade scored 12 points and shot 4-for-7 from deep on Wednesday in the meeting with the Orlando Magic and should continue to draw interest from fantasy managers.

    Darius Garland Remains Out On Wednesday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The 22-year-old has played only 13 minutes this season due to a left eye laceration. Fortunately, he has progressed with his rehab efforts, so it appears there's a chance he'll be available on Friday versus Boston. In the meantime, Isaac Okoro should remain in the starting lineup. However, Okoro is averaging only 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in his two starts this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't look in his direction.

    Darius Garland Returns To On-Court Activity

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) was able to return to some on-court activity on Tuesday. He's still not expected to play in the team's game on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. The facts that there was no structural damage and that he's back on the court in practice is big news for fantasy managers. Garland has been heralded as one of the best fantasy selections headed into this season. Be sure to check back here in the coming days for any updates on his status for the team's two other games this week.

    Darius Garland Likely To Sit On Sunday

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff mentioned that Garland would likely miss Sunday's game as well. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a left eye laceration. Hopefully, Garland will be able to get back into game action after the weekend set. Donovan Mitchell will function more as the ball handler, while Cedi Osman should see a boost in playing time without Garland available this weekend.

    Darius Garland Misses Saturday's Action

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (eye) will sit out Saturday's game against Chicago. The talented playmaker injured his left eye in Wednesday's season opener against Toronto and needs some time to recover. The team has announced that Garland will be re-evaluated daily. With him on the shelf, Donovan Mitchell will likely see huge usage and Caris LeVert gets more playmaking duties. Cedi Osman, who delivered 17 points in 28 minutes off the bench against the Raptors, looks set to join the starting unit Saturday.

    Darius Garland Avoids Structural Damage To Eye

    Darius Garland Misses Thursday's Practice

    Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (eye) wasn't able to practice on Thursday. Garland injured his left eye in Wednesday's season opener against Toronto and exited the game after logging just 13 minutes of action. The Cavaliers return to action Saturday against Chicago, which gives Garland a bit of time to recover, but he should be considered questionable for the matchup. Cedi Osman soaked in the leftover minutes on Wednesday and had a nice outing with 17 points. He looks set to replace Garland in the starting unit if his eye injury doesn't clear up in time. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert are expected to do most of the playmaking.

    Darius Garland Won't Return To Wednesday's Game

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) won't return to Wednesday's season opener versus the Toronto Raptors. The 22-year-old took a hard shot to the eye and was helped to the locker room. There was some concern that this was going to be a concussion, but it appears to be a left eye issue. He'll sit out the rest of this game, but the expectation is that Garland won't miss time from this issue. Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert should see increased playing time with Garland sidelined.
