Garland supplied 35 points (13-27 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes in Friday's 136-125 loss to the Bulls.

Rotowire
Garland produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 130-126 win over the Wizards.
Donovan Mitchell stole the show with a 48-point performance Friday, but Garland still found a way to post a decent stat line despite struggling with his shot. The star floor general has been playing regularly in recent weeks but has faced some limitations, although the fact that he's logged over 30 minutes in his last two games bodes well for the future. Garland has scored at least 15 points in four of his past five outings.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Scores 20, hands out seven dimes
Rotowire
Garland (toe) amassed 20 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pacers.
Making his return from a five-game absence due to a left big toe injury, Garland excelled in a complementary role in the backcourt alongside Donovan Mitchell, who paced Cleveland with 32 points. The 25-year-old point guard has been limited to just four games this season due to that injury, but he's averaging 16.0 points and 6.7 assists per game this season in games where he's logged at least 20 minutes. Expect him to regularly clear 30 minutes in competitive games once he's fully reconditioned.
